In this episode of Battle Plans Exposed, Philip Ingram MBE analyses a seismic shift in modern warfare. As tensions explode in the Strait of Hormuz and the Middle East, a "technological bridge" has formed between the battlefields of Ukraine and the Persian Gulf.

From the 'Ukraine-ification' of Iraq with fiber-optic FPV drones to the total humiliation of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet at Novorossiysk, the rules of engagement have been rewritten. We go inside the "transparent battlefield" to see how Ukraine is destroying Russia’s $50 million radar systems and how Iranian-backed militias are using $500 drones to bypass multi-billion dollar Western defences.
