Reporting on Russia's invasion of Ukraine

We’re excited to share a new-look format for the Shephard Defence Podcast. Following a short hiatus, we are back with a monthly look at some of the big themes in the world of defence.

The first episode looks at the rapidly-evolving situation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Few defence analysts believed when the Russians invaded on 24 February that the conflict would still be raging almost three months later, with well-motivated Ukrainian forces proving they’re a tough nut to crack, Western military aid flooding into the country and questions swirling around about the effectiveness of Russian equipment, tactics and strategy.

Shephard Media's news editor Ben Vogel discusses developments and what lessons have been gleaned with senior naval reporter Harry Lye and air editor Tim Martin.

Each month on the Shephard Defence Podcast, our team of international journalists and analysts take deep dives into defence issues, focusing on niche market sectors and looking at where the trends are heading.

We also feature regular content developed by Shephard Studio in cooperation with our partners.
