Episode Description: In this episode of Voices from the Front, callsign ‘Desna’ – an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Company Commander – talks the viewer through the Ukrainian ‘kill chain’.

About the series: Voices from the Front: First-hand accounts of the war in Ukraine is a new video series from the Centre for Historical Analysis and Conflict Research. CHACR has been fortunate enough to receive this collection of first-hand accounts, filmed both in Kyiv and in forward locations with officers and soldiers. We offer these to you, at face value, to enable you to draw your own lessons from their content. The broad cross-section of speakers offers insight from the tactical level upwards that we feel the professionally curious (be they military or academic) will find useful and instructive.
This video series was made possible with the generous support of the Ukrainian Security and Cooperation Centre (USCC) and the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
