Ep 3 – Why History Wins Wars: Gen. Zabrodskyi on Blitzkrieg & Mission Command

This episode began with a question from a Ukrainian brigade: how can military history help us fight better right now?

Samuel Cook sits down with Lieutenant General Mykhailo Zabrodskyi, Hero of Ukraine, to answer it.

They explore military history as a tool for creative thinking under fire, why Blitzkrieg was "a product, not a process," how mission command and decisions made at the right level produce battlefield results, and how the drone became a primary weapon at platoon level — only the beginning, in Zabrodskyi's words.

In this episode:

• A brigade's question: history as a warfighting tool- Blitzkrieg as a product of 25 years of doctrine
• Mission command and decision-making at the right level
• The drone as a platoon-level primary weapon
