16/ Deborah works closely with some of Ukraine's leading mil-tech entrepreneurs, so she knows the scene: what works and what doesn't. Green Flag Ventures is "the leading dual-use VC firm active on the ground, [backing] founders who field‑test their tech today and sell to global

15/ The war the West refuses to see:. "This is not just Russia . against Ukraine. The North Koreans have sent troops. Iran sends drones, China sends parts. they are also learning from Russia." ⤵️.

14/ Evidence of the China-Russia tech pipeline:. "There's actually some really funny ones of Chinese kit like electronic boards. these crazy Chinese-slash-Russian language words that you can sort of recognize, but not really because it's the Chinese writing in Russian." ⤵️.

13/ Ukraine is also learning from downed Russian drones:. "Almost every single time that they are pulling these new pieces apart. there are new and different components in there" . including American Nvidia chips . ⤵️.

12/ From 2022, Ukraine's resistance has been "an all out effort from every civilian. "There was just this massive pivot when the war started, and many, many of those people just put their projects, their companies on hold.". Tech geeks became warriors. ⤵️.

11/ The ecosystem that makes this possible:. "You could very easily be sitting at a table [and you might have] an investor, you'll have a number of soldiers. somebody from civil society. somebody doing humanitarian work" all cooperating. ⤵️

10/ Ukrainians take things apart and ADAPT—quickly:. "When there's a problem to be solved, it goes out to the whole ecosystem. Everybody gives ideas back and then they're kind of out to the front and tested.". No bureaucracy. Just survival-driven iteration. ⤵️

9/ "This is actually still one of the really biggest vulnerabilities," Deborah says. "A lot of western tech . are built on these exquisite systems that are perfectly closed.". They can't adapt or be adapted. And so the stuff sits in warehouses in Ukraine. ⤵️.

8/ Her warning:. "Every single company in Europe or the US . doing any kind of this new defense tech . should absolutely be testing in Ukraine. "If things have not been tested in a live battlefield environment, I can almost guarantee it is probably not going to work." ⤵️

7/ Imposed solutions don't work:. "What works with a particular antenna in Kyiv is actually not going to be the same thing that works with that antenna down in Mykolaiv or Donetsk," Deborah says. "Russians are using different techniques . in different places." ⤵️

6/ But as Jan says and as Deborah agrees, "If you're not in Ukraine, you don't exist at the moment [in defense tech]. It's as simple as that." ⤵️.

5/ The Euro-drone firm told Jan-Erik they weren't interested in Ukraine, "because we have a good amount of sales at the moment, and if we go to Ukraine, they want to change some stuff anyway, so we don't want to change any stuff . ". 🤯 ⤵️.

3/ "My LinkedIn feed is just full of [all of these new European defense tech companies] and I can just go through and I'm like, oh, no, electronic warfare [protection]? Nope. They fly with GPS? Nope. This isn't going to work. It's a closed system. They can't do any updates." ⤵️
