"I've said many times that we must gather the best minds in the country and think one step ahead of our opponents, but we're constantly catching up. But it's very difficult to win when we're playing catch-up," the Ukrainian expert admits.

He cited the example of the situation with anti-aircraft drones introduced by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"We didn't have them yet; we were just developing them, and the Russians were already thinking about what they would do once our anti-aircraft drones were in use. This is a technology, a process that works one step ahead," Beksrestnov concluded.
