Ukraine's top missile designer: modern war is won by whoever experiments with weapons faster
Denys Shtylerman, a missile designer from Fire Point, says Russia's engineering school still follows the Soviet template of designing weapons for years before testing.
Denys Shtylerman, the leading missile designer at Fire Point, emphasizes that modern warfare is won by the side that can experiment with weapons faster. He criticizes Russia's engineering approach, which he says remains stuck in the Soviet era: weapons are designed for years before any testing occurs. According to Shtylerman, this outdated model hinders rapid adaptation to battlefield needs.
His remarks come as Ukraine, amid war, rapidly develops and tests new weapons, adapting to changing conditions. Shtylerman argues that the ability to experiment and innovate is crucial in modern conflicts, in contrast to Russia's slow, bureaucratic system.
