Three-time Moochie award winner Professor Justin Bronk, Senior Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, rejoins Mooch to discuss how the air war over Ukraine has evolved from conventional aircraft to short- and long-range drones and ballistic missiles since the invasion in February of 2022.

Will these tactics influence warfare elsewhere across the globe in the future?

Moochie award by Ward Caroll is much more valuable than FIFA peace award by Gianni Infantino.

My grandfather was a civilian software engineer for the Dassault Mirage 2000s and F-16s in the UAE during the early 00's. What amazed me then, and now, was just how adaptable an F-16 or Mirage could be: all the way from a gunfighter down to a nuclear weapons delivery platform (something he was helping them develop was software for something called the "Hawquim," definately spelled it wrong, but he described it as a nuclear-tipped bunker waster). Your conversation about them taking on the Russian drone horde gave me chills. Though these jets are 50 years old now, the upgrading and innovation to keep them relevant is jaw-dropping. It would be like taking a F-86 Sabre to Desert Storm and watching them win!

Great conversation!!

Great program as usual! Mooch, your interview style is exceptional, letting Professor Gronk expound on his remarkable knowledge with only an occasional thoughtful question. A really educational presentation. Thank you both!

I know why Ward likes this guy for the podcast: ask one question and the guy goes on autopilot and fills the episode without need to prompt him too much.

Always a treat to have Justin on the show. His knowledge on the systems and tactics being used, particularly with Airpower in this conflict, is beyond reproach.
