- During the Combined Resolve exercises in Germany in April and May, the 3,500-strong US brigade faced Ukraine’s 412th “Nemesis” Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces.
- Dust clouds made the heavy armored personnel carriers visible to Ukrainian reconnaissance drones, after which bomber and kamikaze drones attacked.
- In the exercise, a vehicle was deemed destroyed once a drone hovered above it or flew close enough to strike, so the vehicles were repeatedly reintroduced, according to a US official familiar with the results.
- The brigade had standard electronic-warfare and counter-drone systems, while newer mobile units reportedly performed better and US troops adapted their camouflage, force distribution and electronic warfare, according to the WSJ.
