Western defense systems are expensive and sophisticated, whereas adversaries use less expensive but more effective threats.
The Red Sea and Ukraine conflicts have highlighted this disparity. “Information is critical in modern conflicts. Flexibility and adaptability are critical for securing high-value assets. Technical innovation and strategic shifts are required for success. Information superiority, as demonstrated in the Ukraine war, is critical in modern conflicts,” the officer concluded.
