In episode 67 of the Aerospace Advantage podcast, Ukraine and the Broader Implications: The Rendezvous, host John “Slick” Baum, engages with Mark Gunzinger, Heather Penney, Douglas Birkey, Lukas Autenried, and Dan Rice of the Mitchell Institute team to better understand recent events surrounding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The conversation covers a number of key topics, including why deterrence failed to dissuade Putin, balancing force requirements between Europe and the Pacific, implications for space, China’s take on the conflict thus far, and how the U.S. deters similar conflicts in the future. We also dig into a number of hot-button issues like no-fly-zones, MiG-29 transfers, the performance of Russian force, and what all of this should mean for the FY23 budget.
