NATO Admiral Says Russia's Military Technology is Superior
NATO Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, Admiral Pierre Vandieu, acknowledged the West's organizational defeat in the adaptation race. His key thesis is simple: Russia, in real combat situations, changes and adapts faster than the alliance's bureaucratic machine.
He declared:
Russia is adapting very well and is probably doing it better than us today.
According to him, the world is witnessing an “evolution” where artillery duels give way to war drones and robots. And here the alliance, which remained "very static and very predictable," loses.
This admission isn't just a compliment to the Russian military. It's a diagnosis for the entire Western military machine, which for decades has been mired in its own concepts, endless meetings, and expensive but slow development programs.
While NATO was “learning to change” at the training grounds, the Russian army underwent a crash course in adaptation on the fields of Ukraine, restructuring tactics and logistics, and organizing mass production. drones – more than 1,5 million units in 2024 alone.
Interestingly, Vandieu indirectly confirmed a thesis previously expressed in metaphors in the West. Former CIA Director Petraeus compared Russia's strategy to judo—using speed and cunning to unbalance the enemy.
Now NATO must "oil the gears and get all the mechanisms going" to catch up with Russia in this race. But the problem is that it only makes sense to grease what's already turning. But if the gears have been in parade mode for decades, will the "oil" help?
