This week, Defense Matters is focused on the ongoing war in Ukraine and discussed the actual fighting on the ground, technology involved, cyber war, post-Cold War military balance that is currently unfolding – and of course the Israeli angle, its mediation efforts, and how all of this is tied to the Iran nuclear deal.

The first guest was IDF (ret.) Major General Amos Gilead, a former top Israeli Ministry of Defense official and current Executive Director of the Institute of Policy and Strategy at Reichman University.

The episode ends with the “game changer” section, which takes a look at the industry of tomorrow and how it will affect the future battlefield. Aviv Kanelbaum, Business Development & Marketing Manager of the IAI Space Division, discusses satellite tracking for intelligence purposes in the context of the war in Ukraine.
