Russian troops on Ukraine front lines have life expectancy of 20 to 30 minutes

CARLISLE, Pa. — Russian troops sent to the front lines survive an average of less than one hour given the overwhelming lethality and capabilities of Ukraine’s drone arsenal, according to U.S. CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Ukraine’s defense and tech sector has mastered emerging technologies, like offensive and defensive drone capabilities, which have saved the country from a much larger and better-resourced Russian military for more than four years.
