The Drone War Was Never About Drones

Anastasiya Shapochkina and Bohdan Kostiuk sit down with Fedir Serdiuk, co-founder of MOWA Defence Advisory and one of the key figures in Ukraine's shift from an assistance-seeking country to a defense partner and security provider.

In this episode:

→ Why large-scale combat operations require a completely different doctrine than the Global War on Terror

→ Ukraine's "beautiful chaos" and why a zoo of weapons is a feature, not a bug

→ What it actually means to sell capability instead of equipment

→ How veterans are becoming core assets in the private defense sector

→ Why Europe's focus on drones misses the point

Ukraine started FPV warfare with drones built in people's garages. It became an industrial capability producing millions of units a year. The technology followed the people, not the other way around.
