“We are f—”: 10 Ukrainians with drones wipe out two NATO battalions in war game

NATO remains structurally unprepared for the kind of drone-saturated warfare now defining Russia’s war against Ukraine, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

Drones have increasingly become central to combat operations throughout Russia’s war in Ukraine. Persistent aerial surveillance and low-cost strike systems allow forces to detect and hit targets within minutes, leaving little room for concealment or slow decision-making.

A large-scale alliance exercise in 2025 revealed that even well-trained Western units struggle to operate under constant aerial surveillance and rapid strike coordination

The war game, known as Hedgehog 2025, was held in Estonia and involved more than 16,000 troops from 12 NATO countries. Ukrainian drone specialists, including personnel rotated from the front, participated in the drill and helped simulate battlefield conditions similar to those in Ukraine.

According to the WSJ, the results were stark. In one scenario, NATO formations attempting an offensive maneuver were quickly identified and neutralized in the simulation by small adversary teams operating reconnaissance and strike drones.

It's a war game/practice exercise today. But NATO and the U.S. had better wake up quick to the possible threat. Russia has threatened Europe in the past and is stockpiling 10's of thousands of missiles. Their missile production has grown exponentially since the second invasion of Ukraine. Combine that with drones and what have you got?
