Evolution of the Arms Industry during the war in Ukraine

The war in Ukraine has signified a massive shift in European defence thinking as well as the arms industry required to defend the EU and NATO in the eventuality of a war on the continent. In this episode we interview Tomáš Kopečný, Deputy Minister for Defence Industrial Cooperation, Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic.

He gives us insights on the military aid given to Ukraine from the West in the wake of the Russian invasion and how it has developed. We also touched upon the use of drones in modern warfare, the global position of the arms industry and potential spill-overs that the war in Ukraine may have.

Lastly, as always, we asked him about his career development, in the hoped that it might inspire you to follow your own.
