How 10 Ukrainian Soldiers Defeated Two NATO Battalions in a Single Day
During NATO exercises in Estonia in May 2025, Ukrainian forces exposed serious shortcomings and vulnerabilities of the alliance in drone warfare. In a simulated battle, a unit of just 10 Ukrainian soldiers managed to defeat two NATO battalions, according to BBC News Ukraine citing the Wall Street Journal.
This was confirmed by the Executive Director of the Independent Anti-Corruption Commission, Olena Tregub. She noted: “Modern warfare is different now, and Ukraine learned this at a very high cost. Drones, electronic warfare, the Delta system, rapid decision-making, and constant adaptation are not just support tools—they represent a new logic of combat.”
