According to the report, during recent maneuvers in Germany, elements of Ukraine's 412th Nemesis Brigade spotted American tanks from the dust being kicked up by the treasd, and swooped in to attack (simulated, of course).
Losses on the American side were so severe the referees had to put "killed" units back into the fight so they exercise could continue. The Americans adjusted their tactics by dispersing and concealing their forces and improving their electronic countermeasures.
Later on, the Ukrainian forces joined the Americans and showed them how to use drones offensively.
Hopefully the US chain of command will take note of this -- plus the real-world demonstrations being carried out daily against Russia -- and adjust their training and tactics accordingly. That's what these exercises are for, after all.

The same thing will happen if when they exercise with China, which has a massive capacity and advanced drone technology.

A few weeks ago Valery Zaluzhnyi basically said NATO is not fit to join Ukraine. Our doctrines have jumped the shark and we would not do well against an army like UA or for that matter, Russia´s. China, North Korea, Iran and a few other countries are furiously taking notes and moving, but NATO has perhaps the longest way to go.

Turns out that the people who are fighting a shooting war have useful experience. We should keep them as friends, rather than the outdated, bankrupt empire that is opposing them.

Same happened when they exercised with the Northern European countries. We have a lot to learn about drone warfare. Luckily Ukraine is open to train and teach us.

Considering the current US administration stance I am not sure Ukraine and Europe should be that open to share the military competence with the US. Cannot be sure whos side US takes in the next conflict.

Ukrainians fight a fascist war machine on their own soil, and at the same time help train another fascist war machine that continues to destabilize the Middle East while threatening Canada and Greenland. And on German soil no less. I understand why Ukraine needs to keep schmoozing up to the fascist US if they want to win this war, but America has made it very clear that it is no longer a trustworthy NATO ally and we should have booted the G.I.'s out of Germany the moment dubya invaded Iraq.

At the very latest when the CIA started abducting German citizens & torturing them at Guantanamo and black ops sites. Or after the NSA spying scandal, during which it turned out that the US intercepts our private texts and emails and eavesdrops on our phone calls, all the way up to our chancellor, and may be involved in industrial espionage as well. Then the US elected hitler 2.0. Two times already. It should be fucking over. Enough is enough. Why can't we grow a backbone like Spain did

it would be unfortunate if ukraine stopped being your ally for some reason

I don't think Ukraine is any threat to anyone who doesn't insist on invading their territory.

Kinda wish Ukraine didn't help show the US how to fight the drones and how to use them, as that information will doubtless be immediately shared with putin

Intelligent response.

Kinda wish Ukraine didn't help show the US how to fight the drones and how to use them, as that information will doubtless be used to destroy the drones of the Resistance in the 2030s, as Trump's storm troopers work their way past the radioactive remains of the Hoover Dam to conquer California

Cheers to the future 🙃
