**Ukraine’s drone war is transforming the battlefield — and exposing a growing weakness Putin may no longer be able to fix

General Ben Hodges, former Commanding General of US Army Europe, joins The Global Gambit to examine **Ukraine’s long-range drones, deep strikes inside Russia, strategic bomber attacks, AI warfare and Russia’s increasingly stretched air defences**.

As Ukrainian drones reach targets hundreds of miles inside Russia, Hodges explains why **Putin cannot protect every refinery, airbase, supply chain and strategic military asset at once**. Russia’s vast strategic depth — historically one of its greatest military advantages — is becoming a vulnerability as Ukraine develops increasingly sophisticated long-range precision-strike capabilities.

We also discuss Putin’s mobilisation dilemma, Russia’s attacks across Europe, NATO’s response, the AfD’s rise in Germany, Western support for Ukraine**, and why Hodges believes Russia’s ultimate strategy may depend on the West giving up first.
