"Ukraine has become a testing ground for state-of-the-art weapons and information systems, and new ways to use them, that Western political officials and military commanders predict could shape warfare for generations to come," write's NYT's Lara Jakes.

Jakes writes that "new advances in technology and training in Ukraine are being closely monitored for the ways they are changing the face of the fight." These new technological advancements include an information system known as Delta, as well as "remote-controlled boats, anti-drone weapons known as SkyWipers and an updated version of an air-defense system built in Germany that the German military itself has yet to use."

A former Lithuanian president is quoted as saying, "We're learning in Ukraine how to fight, and we're learning how to use our NATO equipment," adding, "It is shameful for me because Ukrainians are paying with their lives for these exercises for us."

Yeah, no shit.
