Our intrepid team covers a lot of ground in this episode: the increasing fluidity of the battlefield, drones and air defense, the biting Black Sea campaign, the causes and aftermath of the firing of Ukraine’s popular defense minister, why Ukraine probably cannot produce PAC-3 air defense missiles (despite what some journalists are telling you), and the likelihood of a new round of Russian mobilization. This episode is Dara Massicot and Michael Kofman at their best.Thanks to NODA AI for supporting this episode. NODA AI is building mission command for autonomous forces.

During the Cold War, the U.S. Navy fielded the iconic AIM-54 Phoenix missile. Fired by the F-14 Tomcat and guided by radar, the Phoenix was upgraded to an operational range of nearly 100 nautical miles. This allowed the Tomcat to engage enemy aircraft at extremely long distance from the carrier.

The U.S. Navy has unveiled the Raytheon AIM-424 Malice, a new long-range air-to-air missile designed to extend the defensive reach of U.S.
This exclusive Cogs of War interview is with Brandon Tseng, the co-founder and president of Shield AI and a former Navy SEAL, whose company builds the Hivemind autonomy software, the V-BAT and X-BAT aircraft, and Aechelon synthetic reality and simulation technologies. We asked Brandon about the bet at the center of his company — that the AI pilot matters more than the airframe — and about what a decade building autonomy for the Pentagon has taught him.
China has spent years modifying civilian ferries to launch amphibious armored vehicles, developing specialized equipment to move forces ashore without conventional port facilities, hardening dozens of air bases, and rapidly expanding the missile forces that could be used to deter or defeat a U.S. intervention. Yet at the same time, a recurring line of analysis has argued that concerns about China’s military capabilities are overstated — and that an invasion of Taiwan remains beyond the reach of the People’s Liberation Army.These analyses differ in important ways.
