Perun | Casualties, Battlefield Medicine, & Lessons from Ukraine - Threats, Logistics & Innovations @PerunAU | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
The logistical challenges in Ukraine are not limited to supplying forces in the field, they also extend to the absolutely vital task of recovering and treating the wounded.
In this episode we explore recent publications on battlefield threats, medical treatment, and innovations in Ukraine - and reflect on what lessons other nations observing the hard fighting there might be able to learn to better prepare themselves for potential future conflicts
