- NATO member Sweden led a military exercise this week testing responses to potential threats, with Ukrainian drone pilots advising Western forces on modern warfare tactics.

- A 24-year-old Ukrainian drone pilot using call sign Tarik told the AP his team destroyed Swedish troops during training, demonstrating critical lessons for Western forces on survivability and detection.
