The Western military believes that the Ukrainians have shown how to digitize war. On the fly, they created a system that has cost the United States decades and billions of dollars.

Ukraine has developed a low-cost version of the MacGyver virtual combat control system that the Pentagon spent decades developing, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Ukraine has created a low-cost version of what the Pentagon has spent decades and billions of dollars on: fighter jets, intelligence and weapons, all connected in a digital network.

It was noted that the improvised Ukrainian network of drones, fighter jets and weapons, connected by satellite communications and special software, gives the Armed Forces of Ukraine an advantage in intelligence, coordination and precision compared to the Russian army.

The Ukrainian virtual command and control system was actually created on the fly. Ukraine’s experience provides the West with important lessons, especially that it is necessary to experiment and involve non-military experts.

British Lieutenant Colonel Glen Grant, who has worked with the US and Ukrainian militaries on defense reform since 2014, said Western militaries are “too slow and heavy-handed.” Therefore, he said, they cannot quickly apply new technical solutions to solve problems on the battlefield.

Grant added that the Ukrainians have shown how to digitize war.

The publication also quoted the Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mikhail Fedorov, who recently said that the enemy has been preparing for a full-scale technical war for 20 years, and that Ukraine has made a technological leap in within 10 months.

American journalists gave several examples of how the Ukrainian military was able to “digitize the war.” They recalled that the defenders of Ukraine successfully modified the drones, after which they could use them to drop grenades directly into the trenches of the Russian invaders. Ukrainian soldiers also developed unmanned vehicles with machine guns and made other innovations.

It was previously reported that most drone operators in the Armed Forces of Ukraine are computer gamers. The boys’ skills and experience in video games come in very handy in controlling attack drones.
