The war in Ukraine is becoming an invaluable innovation lab for battlefield tactics and Western weapons.

The HIMARS systems supplied by the U.S. and similar M270 provided by Britain have significantly bolstered the Ukrainian army's precision strike capability. The deliveries of Western arms have been crucial for Ukraine’s efforts to fend off Russian attacks in the nearly 5-month-old war.
Early in the war, Ukraine created homemade targeting systems which operate on tablets and smartphones and which have been highly effective at directing artillery fire. These systems have been much easier to distribute and update than alternatives that run on specialized hardware. Similarly, after Russia began deploying kamikaze drones last autumn, Ukraine released a mobile phone app that allowed citizens to report and geolocate drone sightings.
