Episode Americano: is America ready for the new realities of war?
In this episode of Americano, Freddy Gray speaks to physicist and Spectator contributor Steve Hsu about the uncomfortable realities of modern warfare. Why are cheap missiles and drones so difficult and expensive to intercept?
Freddy asks Steve about just how depleted are America’s missile stocks, and can the West rebuild its defence industry quickly enough?
They also discuss China’s dominance of critical supply chains, the vulnerability of energy infrastructure and shipping, the strategic threat posed to Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, and why missile defence may be losing its long-standing race against missile technology.
Steve also speaks to Freddy about the future of autonomous warfare, including the development of AI-powered drones capable of making decisions on the battlefield.
