This is a limited but interesting look at one corner of the war in Ukraine. It lays out aspects that might well represent the future of war. Drones, volunteer and temporary soldiers from other walks of life, and an army that depends on advanced weapons as always, but also on advanced technology and dedicated amateurs. It almost felt like some of the men might have been acting out a bit for the camera, but who really knows? These are people who are dedicated to keeping their country free and they are all heroes. This isn’t a primer on the Russia-Ukraine war, but it gives an anecdotal snapshot and is valuable for its message.
