NATO: "We are fucked!"
10 Ukrainian soldiers eliminated 2 NATO battalions in a half a day of training.

WSJ: NATO forces were horrible and wiped out in a 16,000-troop drill in Estonia. 1/
Exercise Hedgehog 2025 brought 12 NATO states together with Ukrainian battlefield drone teams.
In one scenario, a 10-person Ukrainian team acting as an adversary mock-destroyed 17 armored vehicles and carried out 30 additional strikes in half a day. 2/
Ukrainians eliminated 2 NATO battalions in a single day of the simulation. They were not able to fight anymore.
The NATO side “didn’t even get our drone teams.” 3/
30 drones operated in less than 4 square miles.

Ukraine deployed Delta, its AI-enabled battlefield system.
Real-time intel, rapid target ID, shared data, and fast kill chains — see it, share it, shoot it — within minutes or less. 5/
NATO restricts data sharing. Ukraine floods units with information to accelerate strikes. Speed and integration now decide outcomes. 6/
One NATO commander watching the drill concluded: “We are fucked.”
