THE NEW FRONTLINES 01: Welcome to the future of war

We kick off this Global Roaming mini-series by looking at the ways wars will be fought in the future. From drones to electronic warfare and even social media, war today looks completely different to what it did even a decade ago. Russia’s war on Ukraine is providing a breeding ground for testing and innovation of new weapons, but are we in Australia prepared for any of this? Do we need to be?    Guest: Dr Jack Watling - Senior Research Fellow for Land Warfare at the Royal United Services Institute.
