First-Person View Drones in Ukraine: A Disillusioning Reality Check

2025-06-26

A firsthand account from an international volunteer serving with the Ukrainian Armed Forces reveals the disappointing reality of using disposable first-person view (FPV) attack drones. Despite their marketing as cheap and effective precision-strike weapons, the author found their success rate to be a mere 20-30%, with most missions acting as secondary strikes on already-engaged targets. Technical limitations – susceptibility to interference, high malfunction rates, and difficult operation – were significant factors, alongside strategic deployment issues. The author concludes that investing in FPV drones is less effective than improving existing mortar capabilities and high-quality loitering munitions.

When to Disobey: Moral Autonomy in the Military

2025-02-17

This article explores the complex question of when a military officer should disobey orders, even legal ones. The author argues that blind obedience is insufficient and that officers possess a moral autonomy stemming from their oath to the Constitution and their responsibility to their subordinates. Using historical examples and personal anecdotes, the author contends that officers have an obligation to challenge illegal or ethically questionable orders, even at the risk of career repercussions. The piece criticizes a lack of Congressional oversight of military actions and the resulting lack of public accountability.
