Poland's Drone Drill: NATO Learns Ukraine's Hardest Lesson

In late August, U.S. Green Berets put Polish special forces through a first-of-its-kind NATO exercise: crossing a simulated front line, covering roughly sixty miles, and striking a target with a drone while more than a hundred enemy aircraft searched for them overhead. This episode examines why the exercise matters less for its use of drones and more for what it signals — NATO allies are now training as if constant aerial surveillance is a baseline threat, not an exception. It's a look at how tradecraft and evasion have to adapt when there's nowhere left to hide from the sky.
