> Ukrainian operators from the 412th Unmanned Systems Forces regiment rapidly destroyed vehicles from a U.S. armored brigade during the Combined Resolve exercise in Germany, The Wall Street Journal reported. American troops later improved by dispersing, camouflaging positions, and using electronic warfare more effectively. Ukrainian personnel were then equally effective while supporting the U.S. side’s offensive operations.
