    Drones are redefining the battlefield and redefining war. In the Ukraine-Russia War, we are witnessing the real-time and devastating impact of drones. We are also witnessing considerable innovation and tactical adaptation. So, how are drones changing the battle space, and how will they impact the future of warfare beyond the conflict? How are drones reshaping military strategy, tactics, and operations? What is the significance of Operation Spiderweb, and how are both sides innovating in the sky and underwater? What is happening on the ground in Ukraine right now, and what critical factors do we need to know? We spoke to Dr. Marina Miron, a military expert at King's College, to gain deeper insights and technical analysis to understand the broader implications for the conflict as well as Europe, NATO, and the world.

Join us for the first episode of season 3 – an engaging and insightful conversation with Seth Grae, the CEO and Chairman of Lightbridge Corporation, which specializes in the development of advanced nuclear fuel technology.
