What Israel does in a “Europe” competition

by

On paper is the song festival. In practice, Eurovision has been much more years ago. There is music, dance, lights and the profusion of brightness and expected eccentricity in any spectacle worth its salt; But also political. Increasingly. The 2025 edition has left a clear example on the account of Israel (already It happened in 2024 either Three years agowith Russia) and reverges a question that usually arises every year: if Israel is a country of Western Asia (geographically speaking), why do you participate in Eurovision? Moreover, why is it part of UEFA or is he a member of European associations in sports such as swimming? And above all … does it make sense that it is so? Music, politics and flags. Although on Saturday he stroked the victory thanks to TelevotoIsrael’s passage through Eurovision has been marked by controversy, just as the 2024the first after the Gaza conflict initiated in October 2023. His representative, Yuval Raphael, a victim of Hamas attacks, has monopolized headlines. And most did not focus precisely on their music. The organization of the festival has expelled spectators for showing Palestinian flags and has been engaged in a Sour controversy With RTVE for his comments on Gaza’s conflict during retransmissions, nothing compared to what Belgian TV did, which directly chose not to broadcast Raphael’s performance. Looking back. Israel may have monopolized the spotlights EUROVISIVES This edition, but is not a newcomer to the festival. On the contrary. Although Eurovision is organized by the European Radiodifusion Union And that name can lead us to think about the EU or at most in the European continent, Israel, a country in Western Asia, has been part of its history for more than half a century. The country debuted in 1973. And it hasn’t been bad. Saturday remained In second placebut he has won four times. The last one relatively recently, in 2018, with Netta, which explains that a year later the festival It was celebrated in Tel Aviv. And yes, on that occasion too Voices sounded They encouraged boycott. But is not a European festival? Yes. And no. The festival is effectively called Eurovision and organizes it, but the latter is an alliance that goes far beyond strictly geographical Europe: it groups 113 organizations of more than 50 countries and 31 associates of Asia, Africa, Australasia and Las Américas. Membership, like Remember the Uer itselfis aimed at entities whose countries are members of the European Council or are within the European broadcasting areaa wide umbrella under which some countries from outside Europe are located. The result is that among the 113 members that make up the Uuer are French, German, Dutch, Czech or RTVE organizations, but also Cyprus entities (which although it is part of the EU belongs to the Southwest Asian), Algeria, Jordan, Libya, Egypt or Morocco. Also Israel, which allowed him to debut at the Eurovision song festival in the 1970s. Eurovision and much more. The Uuer is not the only European forum in which Israel has made a hole. Something similar occurs with UEFA, the Union of European Soccer Associations. Among their National Federations We find the Spanish, English, Lithuanian, German, Belgian … and the Israeli. Also Kazakhstan, Türkiye or Russia, although in February three years ago UEFA and FIFA They decided to expel her. Why is Israel included in that list? On its website, UEFA explains that Israel became an active member of the Asian Soccer Confederation in 1956, but in 1974 he decided to “abandon her by political reasons“. The reality, Remember DWIt is that in the Arab and Muslim world there were countries that refused to compete with their representatives, such as Türkiye, Indonesia or Sudan. That tension resulted in A vote In 1974 that ended with Israel outside the Asian Federation. In European competitions. In the early 90s, he played regularly in Europe and, after what UEFA calls a “Prolonged process”its federation ended up becoming a member of the organization shortly after, in 1994. MacCabi Haifa Or Hapoel Tel-Aviv, for example, have competed in European tournaments. It is not a rarity of football. In handball, athletics either swimming Israel is also a member of associations based in the old continent. As a backdrop (and as it happens in Eurovision) there is much more than sport: behind the peculiar role of Israel is its complex history, its controversial political role and tensions with other Muslim neighboring nations that can go back to the foundation of the state of Israel, In 1948. These tensions have marked their recent history at the geopolitical level, but has often spread to other areas such as sports, which has led him to look at the West. A potato (increasingly) hot. The funny thing is that this potato has not stopped heating, especially after the beginning of the conflict in Gaza in October 2023 and the death of tens of thousands of Palestinians. The Eurovision Festival leaves the most recent example, but not the only one. Your participation in the contest already generated controversy last year and in 2019 the boycott movement, divestment and sanctions (BDS) even cheer up To artists and chains to ignore the final held in Tel Aviv. In the sports field, Israel’s participation also It was marked in part by The controversy In the Olympic Games and several associations of the Middle East They have claimed Already FIFA to go to the country in international football. The question. The scenario is further complicated by the case of Russia, than after starting the invasion of Ukraine, in February 2022, it did receive a severe response from international organizations. The Uer He separated her of Eurovision, despite its warm initial reaction claiming that the festival is a “cultural event of a non -political nature”, and UEFA and FIFA adopted A similar measureclosing the doors of the World Cup and The Euroleague to the country of Putin. Your athletes too They stayed out of the Olympic Games held in 2024 in Paris. The different response to Israel … Read more

TSMC is going to upload the price of its chips wafers 10% in 2025. And users will not be able to dodge this blow

by

Just a week ago we told you that Nvidia has decided Increase the price of your GPU for games between 5 and 10%. And that of his chips to artificial intelligence (AI) up to 15%. This decision is the result of The multiple crises to which the company led by Jensen Huang and a business strategy that seeks to protect its benefits in a moment of uncertainty. But first of all it has been promoted by the increase in TSMC prices. This Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer, The Major on the Planethas increased the price of its most advanced nodes and its customers will spread this increase throughout the entire production, distribution and sale chain. Nvidia is one of them, but it is important that we do not overlook that in the TSMC client portfolio they also break through Apple, AMD, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Broadcom or Intel, among many other companies. The TSMC leadership position protects its competitiveness from price increases It is a fact: TSMC is going to raise the price of your wafers by 10% for 2025. This information It has been circulating for several weeks by the Asian media specialized in the semiconductor industry, and at the situation of current uncertainty that has triggered the commercial warfth that Eeuu and China is perfectly credible. It is not yet clear what nodes will be affected by the climb, but it is reasonable to assume that little by little it will reach all TSMC avant -garde integration technologies. Presumably the US government will activate in July, after a 90 -day suspension, its tariffs on imported chips This context invites us to ask ourselves what has caused CC Wei and the directive dome of this company to make this decision, and in all likelihood there is no single reason. However, and from this we can be safe, TSMC, NVIDIA and most of the companies directly involved in the semiconductor industry foresee that The US government will activate in Julyafter a 90 -day suspension, Your tariffs on imported semiconductors. As we have just seen, many of the TSMC clients are US companies. This Taiwanese company is developing Your production infrastructure Within the US with the purpose of protecting their administration tariff business, but for the moment almost all its integrated avant -garde circuits leave their Taiwan plants. And future tariffs will increase them when entering the US. In addition, make chips in the country led by Donald Trump It’s more expensive than doing it in Taiwanso it would be unrealistic to assume that The price of wafers TSMC will moderate when its new Arizona plant begins to manufacture large circuits integrated in the N4 node (5 Nm) on a large scale.

is to cut off their fingers

by

David Balland is one of the co -founders of Ledger. He no longer works actively in the company and retired with his partner to a town in the central part of France. In January both were kidnapped at gunpoint. Shortly after the kidnappers sent a video to ask for a rescue: in it they showed how one of the fingers to Balland was cut. The violent event is just an example of a dangerous trend in recent months. Wave of kidnappings and attacks. As they point out In The Wall Street Journalin recent months there have been several cases of kidnapping attempts or attacks with violence that have suffered people with an alleged great heritage in cryptocurrencies. “Help! Help!”. The daughter of the CEO of Paymium, a market for the sale of cryptodivisas in France, suffered an attempt to kidnapping recently. The woman went with her son and her husband when Uns men tried to put her in a white van. The woman asked for help, the husband struggled with the attackers and a neighbor who was close took the child to try to take him away. When other neighbors approached the attackers ended up getting into the van and fleeing. All over the world. Last September a man was sentenced to 47 years in prison for leading a band of criminals who carried out several assaults on the homes of people with large amounts of cryptocurrencies. In one of them they attacked a 76 -year -old man in Durham (USA) and threatened to cut the genitals. In Spain, too. On February 1, a woman appeared at the Marbella police station to warn that her son was kidnapped. The victim, a “trader” of London cryptocurrencies, ended using a trick to warn a friend in London and in fact he escaped from his captors. The founder of Tuenti, Zaryn Dentzel, was also kidnapped in 2021 to steal 25 million euros in Bitcoins. Its captors ended up being arrested and have been Nine years in prison. Better not to presume. Killian Desnnos is a French influencer residing in Malta and has often talked about how rich it is thanks to cryptocurrencies. In August 2023, a person disguised as a messenger from Amazon called his father’s house and kidnapped him. He sent a video pointing to the father with a gun. He ended up paying the rescue, the father was released the next day and the police found and arrested the two leaders of the kidnapping. “Showing on the Internet was not a good idea, I realize,” counted in X shortly after of the incident. What to hack. Traditionally criminals have tried to steal cryptocurrencies through cyber attacks to markets for the sale of these assets, but in recent times there are also numerous direct attacks to recognized people for being part of this segment and who supposedly have large amounts of money in the form of cryptodivisas. Kames LOPP, co -founder of the Bitcoin Casa security company, explains that “many people are reaching the security level of hiding money under the mattress,” and cryptocurrencies thus risk physical attacks. Data thefts do not help. How do criminals identify their victims? One of the possibilities is that they obtain such data from the robberies that some companies in this segment have suffered. Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, four days ago, admitted that someone had stolen the data of 1% of the users of their platform (about 100,000 affected are estimated). Before it had already happened with Ledger, which in 2020 also suffered an intrusion that made it The data of 270,000 clients will be filtered. Identify cryptocurrencies. In France, as in Spain, there are public records of the owners of the companies and in them you can find the homes of those entrepreneurs. Taylor Monahan, who works in cybersecurity in Metamask, explains that cybercriminals manage to cross databases and even pay for sources of information. Doxing is an increasingly common problem And it allows attackers to obtain personal information and then harass it or, as in these cases, threaten to kidnappings or violent attacks.

There was a war in Europe for giving the second -hand digital market and we already have a clear winner: Vinned

by

Percentile, the Spanish startup, of resale of fashion items, has been for two months In a bankruptcy processin search of a lifeguard. Wallapop continues to compete in that market, but without clear leadership in it. And Vinned, meanwhile, sweeps. The resale sector in Spain and in Europe is in a change of cycle. The panoramic. The second -hand clothing is a hypercompetitive market, and Vinted not only survives in it: it is dominating it. It has managed to grow where others are going back or searched for a place where they settle without finding it. To achieve this, Vinned has diversified its catalog and has also done something not so common: to earn money with its activity. The context. Percentile was a pioneer. It was founded in 2012, thirteen years old, and operated in four countries, with almost a million customers and more than a dozen millions of garments sold. However, and despite the heavyweights of the risk capital they invested in it (François Derbaix or Cabiedes & Partners between them), has not resisted the price war of the Fast Fashion. Not even the increase in the second -hand clothing market, increasingly popular and widespread, has been able to compensate for that pressure. And now look for a buyer to avoid disappearance. Between the lines. The Percentile model contributed a lot of comfort to the user, because he did everything for him: collection, classification and sale. But it was more comfortable than profitable. He only accepted half of the garments and offered rather low margins. Now its founders They speak to focus on “higher quality brands”, but maybe it’s too late. In figures. Meanwhile, Vinned in 2024 … It has tripled its benefit before taxes: 95.4 million euros. 813.4 million euros in revenue, 36% more than in 2023. He managed to reach 23 markets … … already the 2,200 employees. It is valued in 5,000 million euros. In detail. A part of his secret is in the invisible: Vinted Go and Vinted Payits own logistics and payments units. Also Vinned Ventures, his investment arm. Vinned’s ultimate goal is not just selling clothes. That is just a part. The idea is to build a complete ecosystem around the resale. Yes, but. Wallapop competes and has millions of users, true. But his generalist approach has not allowed him to emerge in the resale of clothing. It is too broad to compete in a concrete niche, as Vinted does. It has a very large catalog, but its brand is not associated with the style, and that weighs in an environment (sell used clothes) in which trust is key. In addition, Vind has many filters to locate garments (size of any part of the body, color, etc.) of which Wallapop lacks. The alarm signal. As a percentile slid, the sector grows, so the problem does not come from a lower demand. The threat is in the Low Cost from Zara, Shein and company, which have changed the rules. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy new than second hand. Only platforms with a lot of scale, focus and efficiency can survive and be profitable. Percentile is staying the way to see if a new owner can correct his course, and Wallapop resists, but Follow in losses. Who wins is Vind. And now what. Vinned wants more: he has long opened his doors beyond clothes, and now he is going something beyond electronics or luxury. Although it runs the risk of opening so much that Wallapop’s problems to lead in fashion move to it. Predictably, “circular fashion” will continue to grow and European regulations will add pressure to the conventional textile industry. In Xataka | I am a seller with five stars in Wallapop.

The Eurovision voting system is broken. And that has led to becoming a propaganda tool

by

Eurovision has attracted the eyes of the entire continent this weekend (the audiences in RTVE were stratospheric), although this year a series of lines that place the contest in an awkward position have been crossed. The participation of Israel, controversial from the first moment, and the overturning that the scores gave at the last moment have put on the table the idea of ​​the Use of the system for political propaganda purposes. And the fault is, in part, of the way of scoring. What happened. That a series of events took place that, separately, could not attract attention, but that added to an unusual edition, with cross accusations and, more than ever, a festival in which music has been relegated to an absolute background. Israel starts lazy → Israel received few points from the jurors of the countries. Only Azerbaijan gave him 12 points, which left him in the tail of the scores, with just 60. Robo in the scores → but with the points of the televoto there was a dramatic turn: he received 297 points of the public, with 12 points in 13 countries, including Spain. Many others gave him the 10 points of the second position. Israel led the classification until the last moment, when Austria received the points of the Televoto and surpassed it for just a dozen advantage. How to vote. The voting system goes beyond a mere “first the jury, then the public”, and carries with him A account of a certain complexity: The European Radiodifusion Union computes the votes of its spectators, collected by call, text message or internet. Each person can vote up to 20 times, but not by their own country. The spectators of non -participating countries (“Rest of the World”) group their votes and count as if they were one more country (which also allows to vote to countries like Israel). Next, a list of the most voted options in each country is prepared and the same points as the jury: 12, 10, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points, regardless of the number of people you have voted are awarded to the first 10. That is, it is not about how many total votes are those who remain above but simply that they are The most voted In each country. These points of the public are worth half of the total, which enables radical modifications in the jury’s decision, as has happened this year. Made the law, made the “trap”. That system explains that it is relatively simple to mobilize certain political positions to vote in one direction or another. David Saranga, acting director of the Public Diplomacy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel, admitted to the Ynet portal, as stressed See youthat his body intervened in previous years to promote the vote to Israel, achieving 12 points by the public. Influential profiles on social networksmatches of right and means opposed to government They served as a speaker for a positioning related to Israel that resulted in votes. Not so much televoto. The voting system It has evolved With the passage of time. Until 1997, the winner decided on national jurors, without direct participation of the public. Between 1997 and 2008, the televoto by telephone and SMS was the main system and the jury was only used as support. Since 2009, the current mixed system was established: 50% of the result comes from the televoto and 50% the professional jury. The intention was to avoid precisely situations such as those that have been seen in this edition, although they have led to mass votes in the opposite direction, as happened with the Victory of Ukraine in 2023. Spain protests. This propaganda work that, despite the statements of Saranga, has been camouflaged as spontaneous movements by high Israeli charges as Israel Minister of the Diaspora, Amichai Chikliit fits perfectly to Eurovision rules. That has not prevented RTVE from asked the European broadcasting union open a debate about “the appropriate” of the Televoto and if it is being manipulated by political interests. In addition, as announced by the public channel itself in its news, it will request an audit that specify and break down the voting of each country. TVE against Eurovision. This audit, of being held, will be the last confrontation of the public channel and the European broadcasting Union. Before that, last Thursday, in the presentation of the second semifinal, The presenters Julia Varela and Tony Aguilar said that “this year RTVE has asked Eurovision for a debate on Israel’s participation in the festival. The victims of Israeli attacks in Gaza already exceed 50,000, and among them, more than 15,000 boys and girls, according to the United Nations Organization.” Those words earned a warning to RTVE, who responded with a poster before issuing the contest positioning in favor of Palestine. Melody’s failure. It has been suggested that the low classification of Spanish representation could have to do with this conflict between RTVE and Eurovision. And that his position 24 is not something that we are precisely unusual in Spain: in the last twenty years, We have remained in positions below 15 times 16 times. This year the perspectives were better: the forecasts put it among the first 15. Not having an apparent explanation for the debacle, conspiracy theories were launched blaming these bad results to the pro-palestine position of the government and RTVE. It was then when He put on the table The idea of ​​manipulation in voting. Header | RTVE In Xataka | Film rooms are becoming “show rooms” of all kinds. The best example: Eurovision

A few months ago Ryanair raised her salary to her employees in Spain. Now he is claiming that they return it

by

Collective bargaining is a delicate issue in which it is not always easy to satisfy all the parties involved and stay within the legislation. The last example is the negotiation of the I Collective Agreement for Ryanair cabin crew, which brought salary increases Immediate to these workers, but that resulted in their cancellation by the National Court. According to The published by El Confidencial, Now Ryanair asks his workers to return those increases. However, such and as they denounce From the air-sectors union, the airline has imposed a condition for workers not to have to return these salary ups: join CCOO. The beginning of the mess: a unilateral collective agreement. In October 2022, the Irish airline and the CCOO union signed the I Collective Agreement for cabin crew. As collected The economistThe agreement contemplated regular annual salary increases for three years until April 2025 for these employees, as well as a change in the fixed and variable remuneration structure. The problem is that, according to the Air-Sector-Sector union, which represents 22.9% of the Ryanair template, the agreement was prepared at a negotiating table that left out the representatives of much of the staff. That caused the union to present an appeal for nullity that the National Court has confirmed canceling The validity of the agreement signed. Ryanair applied an unsigned agreement. The regulations establish that all collective agreements They must register in the General Directorate of Labor before starting to be applied. Since the use union presented an appeal for nullity before justice, the General Directorate of Labor did not process the agreement until justice was pronounced in this regard. However, and despite not having fulfilled that regulatory process, Ryanair applied the salary increases agreed in the agreement that signed unilaterally with CCOO from October 2024. Now, given the recognition of nullity of the National Court, Ryanair claims to his cabin crew members of the return of between 1,000 and 4,000 euros that, according to the case, according to the case, according to the case, according to the case, according to the case, according to the case of salary increase. According to the representatives of air-sectors “the agreement” The agreement was signed without prior consultation to the workfor Ryanair’s claim. According to sources mentioned by The confidentialand confirmed For the air user, the airline is sending letters to its cabin crew claiming the immediate return of the salary increase that was paid between October 2024 and April 2025. In its letter, the company offers to recognize the debt and claims to be “willing to offer you a payment plan in 12 monthly installments, with deductions that will begin on the payroll of June”. The amount varies according to each case, but moves between 1,000 euros and more than 4,000 euros per employee, for undue salary increases. If you join CCOO there is no debt. Another alternative proposed by the Irish company to solve the problem is to join the CCOO union, automatically cond by this salary “debt”. “To minimize the impact of the annulment of the collective agreement by use, this agreement is applicable to CCOO affiliates,” they point out from use. In a statement signed by Lisa McCormack, Ryanair Human Resources Director, to which It has had access The confidentialthe person in charge indicated that: “If any worker is not affiliated with CCOO since the previous limited agreement ended and the collective agreement was annulled, but wishes to take advantage of this limited field agreement, you must directly contact CCOO. We have agreed with CCOO that those who are afraid can now maintain their current working conditions (…) This limited range agreement is the only feasible way to protect your salary.” The company has chosen its union. In its statement, air-user, it qualifies as a “harassment and demolition to which Ryanair is subjecting to the cabin crew non-affiliates to CCOO to affil Organic Law on Freedom“ Raquel Bautista, head of Use-Ryanair, pointed out that the condition of “forgiving” the alleged debt to CCOO affiliates is “a master play they want to use to erase Ryanair’s union map after years of sentences won, and only stay with their trust union.” Neither CCOO nor Ryanair have responded to Xataka’s information requests on this subject, but we will update this article if they do.

Manufacturers have drunk attendee cars for our safety. We do not use them and (worse) we don’t understand them either

by

“We know that many people deactivate the lane maintenance assistant. Why should we sell it?” With these words, Denis Le Vot, CEO of Dacia, attacked the European Union and his commitment to adas systems for driving in 2022. What defended the head of the company is that most users They deactivate these aid Security and that, therefore, I did not understand why manufacturers were forced to include them in their cars. Years later, it seems that time is giving the reason to vote. They are neither appreciated nor used Since 2022, All cars approved in Europe They are obliged to set up a series of ADAS aids to driving, including emergency braking, lane output alert or controversial speeding warning that works hand in hand with signal recognition. These aid are, since 2024, mandatory series in every new car sold in Europe. That is, regardless of when any new car that has been bought or is about to be bought has been approved for a year. This, without a doubt, is one of the reasons that cars have increased. Therefore, we must understand that the CEO of Dacia had reasons to attack the European Union. For a brand that has always fought for price, including more starting equipment makes it difficult to. It is, of course, part interested in the debate. However, the data seems to give the vote right. At least that is what those who take the temperature of the conductors say. In JD Power they assured A few months ago that one in four buyers From a car in the United States he had reported a problem with ADAS systems in the first 90 days after buying the car. These problems do not refer exclusively to faults or system failures, they also refer to the inconveniences that users have found because they do not understand the systems or are not very clear how they can deactivate or configure them. Frictions have also increased, according to the study. In the last five years, the technology of the manufacturers in this area has been fired (much guilt has the security regulations), which has made more and more people who choose to deactivate these alerts. “They are too annoying and intrusive,” They point out from JDPOWER. The solution, they say, should go through more detailed explanations by the dealers to explain how these systems work and how they can take advantage of. In part, what happens in Europe is moving to other regions of the world. In the United Kingdom, the ADAS systems that are in the European Union are not mandatory but companies include them by cost savings. However, the data says that Most of them deactivate aid and that the ISA speeding system is the most affected. In a 2020 survey conducted by Erie Insuranceit was stressed that the second help system that was most deactivated after the alert for speed was the maintenance of lane. However, The European Commission points that between the lane output notice can reduce accidents between 10 and 21% and that lane maintenance can reduce the severity of the wounds suffered in an accident by up to 30% of the cases. There is, therefore, a disconnection between regulators and users. Keep in mind that not only the European Union demands these security measures. Euro NCAP, in their studies, punishes the companies that do not offer passive security systems that expand mandatory serial coverage. Euro NCAP is an independent study and cars that are homologated and sold in Europe They are not obliged to undergo their evidence. However, they have achieved quality status for the public that is rare who does not appear to them. This costs Dacia to receive a score of only three stars even though they are regular. It is not the shock tests that they have their safety levels in case of accidentthey penalize very basic adas systems equipment that is barely Leave Dacia Duster in an approved justito. And what happens in Spain? That we feel the same as Americans and British, according to A study of Fesvial entitled “Knowledge of the ADAS systems by the Spanish population” that was published in 2022. It indicated that “70% are not clear that the ADAS are intelligent enough to guarantee the safety of the person who conducts” and “30% are not convinced that the ADAS contribute to reduce collisions or their severity.” Data that exemplify the aforementioned gap between regulators and users.

The United Kingdom tested its sophisticated defense simulating the day of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. Did not go as expected

by

Simulations are an essential part of the network of nations defense. We have a large number of examples, from the “game” that They used in the Cold War The United States and Russia to conclude that it was not worth test try your last destroyer against Washington, or those who He has activated Taiwan In recent times “for what can happen.” The United Kingdom also carried out a test that should confirm that its arsenal is ready for battle. The conclusions were not exactly those. A brutal lesson. The story took place a while ago. As we said, the United Kingdom carried out a Strategic simulation of very high importance: he replied in his own aerial territory the exact pattern of the first Russian attack on Ukraine, which occurred on February 24, 2022. He did it through the Gladiator Training Systemvalued at 24 million pounds, and with the aim of evaluating how their defenses would respond if the same type of onslaught would have had the British soil as white. The conclusion It was alarming. Although the results were not revealed in detail, the then commander of the Air Battlespace Training CenterThe Blythe Crawford Air Comodoro, was bluntly describing it as “a very beautiful panorama.” For a country that for decades felt protected by its location to the western edge of Europe (with the continental mass acting as mattress natural against threats), the exercise was a strategic shaking that threw old assumptions for land. A threat that is no longer distant. Then it was more known, mainly than the exercise revealed vulnerability from the United Kingdom before a massive and modern air attack like Russia used against Ukraine, with a devastating combination of missile, drones and autonomous technologies. Crawford also stressed that Ukraine made everything West will awaken. The conflict not only exposed the brutality of the first Russian blows, but also highlighted how modern war has transformed the rules of aerial domain, such as We have been counting. Crawford explained that it is no longer about achieving aerial superiority in broad and sustained terms throughout an operations theater, but to assume that supremacy can be Fragmentary, ephemeraleven located between two trenches or just a few meters from the ground. The war in Ukraine, he said, is an unprecedented battlefield between two countries with powerful air defense systems, but where none has achieved A full domain of the heavens, in contrast to the predominant aerial doctrine of the last decades. The swarm that comes. One of the most revealing points of Crawford’s intervention was his analysis of the massive drone use In Ukraine. For the high command, it is no longer simply individual devices: now they face hundreds of hundreds of units, many of them equipped With explosivesothers designed as lures, and others Simply kamikaze. These waves, combined with rockets and intercontinental ballistic missiles, configure a type of multiple, simultaneous and heterogeneous threat for which traditional defensive systems were conceived in much more predictable scenarios.
