Initially, the conflict was dominated by conventional warfighting equipment like tanks and artillery. However, as the war progressed, the importance of digitized and networked forces became evident. Through AI and software systems such as GIS Arta, Delta, and Kropyva, Ukraine effectively managed its resources, achieving local tactical advantages even when outnumbered. The Ukrainian experience underscores the significance of integrating speed, mass, and precision in warfare, emphasizing that AI-driven software solutions are paramount for real-time decision-making and response. The piece concludes by highlighting that in modern warfare, speed trumps size, stressing the urgency for the British Army and other western forces to incorporate AI for a tactical edge.
