Ukraine 2026: Technology Shapes the Battlefield with Tom Fedyszyn

Ukraine 2026: Technology Shapes the Battlefield with Tom Fedyszyn

Event Details

Redwood Library and Athenaeum, 50 Bellevue Ave, Newport, RI, 02840

Join us for a lecture with Tom Fedyszyn, a retired Navy captain and Professor at the U.S. Naval War College.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was a huge initial shock to a country outnumbered and outgunned by a larger neighbor bent on its destruction.  Following initial catastrophic losses, Ukraine’s superior morale and troop quality regained most of its stolen territory. However, Russian quantitative superiority and willingness to destroy civilian infrastructure endure. Ukraine has subsequently developed and accepted drone and unmanned technologies which have been very successful at slowing, and even stopping, the Russian invasion. Many of these weapons and technologies are being built literally in their backyards.

This event is free; however, we ask that you please register in advance on our website.
