Defense Matters, Episode 1 | Ukraine: First lessons from a brutal war By Aron Heller | Defense Matters Podcast, Sunday, 03 Apr 2022

Episode 1 of “Defense Matters” focused on the war in Ukraine and discussed the fighting on the ground, the technology involved, the cyber war, the 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. Host Aron Heller’s first guest is 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 gamechanger 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.
