Take a look at Conducttr's services and its crisis exercise software at: https://www.conducttr.comThis is a conversation with Fabian Hoffman, a Doctoral Research Fellow at the University who’s focusing on missiles of all kinds and he’s been doing a fantastic job popularizing and explaining this quite niche topic on his Twitter and Substack. It’s quite a sobering conversation. Missiles in general are becoming increasingly important part of warfare in conflicts from Ukraine to the Middle East and their importance is only gonna grow - and Fabian talks about why he believes that Europe is extremely unprepared for this - why it lacks both air defensive and offensive capabilities, why its falling miles behind Russia which has drastically increased its production and why he believes that Russia is actually stockpiling their missiles for a contingency of a war with NATO, rather than just using them in Ukraine. We also talk about how Israel’s Iron Dome actually performed in its war with Iran, whether the plan for a golden dome that the Trump administration is planning to spend hundreds of billions of dollars makes sense, why Europe’s air defense policy is completely wrong and it’s never gonna work and much, much more.
