Q: What did Sean Wiswesser identify as the most significant transformation in Russia's security apparatus due to the war?
He highlighted the substantial evolution of the Russian intelligence services, noting how corruption, resource accumulation, and a feudal mindset within the elite have reshaped operational capabilities, while also stressing ongoing discontent among officers and the strategic risk this poses for Russia.
Putin’s forces suffer 35,000 casualties in March – the highest rate of the war – as 17 killed in Russia’s deadliest attack of 2026
Q: How have Russians reacted to the fall of Orbán, James?
James Kilner describes a relatively calm Kremlin response, with some framing that Orbán's loss creates European instability but is not an outright disaster for Moscow, while noting the Kremlin's continued attempts to influence EU politics through allies.
Russia crippled as ‘meat assaults’ fail in spring offensive & will this be the year Ukraine takes more territory than Moscow?
Q: With the occupied territories, what are the key themes and how do you structure weekly updates?

Russia crippled as ‘meat assaults’ fail in spring offensive & will this be the year Ukraine takes more territory than Moscow?
Q: First, what is the ISW and how do you operate?
Karolina explains ISW is an open-source intelligence think tank that continually collects and analyzes battlefield data from Telegram, Twitter, and other public sources, producing daily updates and deeper thematic reports, with a strong emphasis on methodology and source validation.
Exclusive: British drones destroy Russian-controlled bridge
Q: You've got a great story out today that we'll link to in the episode notes. Adrian, can you walk us through how this British drone evolved from a cattle-herding concept to a battlefield tool?
Adrian describes the Malloy Aeronautics T-150 heavy-lift drone, originally a flying motorbike for cattle herding, repurposed to drop shaped charges on a Russian-held bridge. The process involved identifying vulnerable bridge points via Russian soldiers' imagery, developing a plan with Ukraine's 426th Unmanned Aerial Systems Brigade, and conducting 30 missions over 60 days to weaken the bridge before a final strike. He notes the need for rapid adaptation in modern warfare and the close collaboration with Western defense firms.
