Together, we explore how geography, force posture, and geopolitical constraints shape the challenges of modern warfare on NATO’s northeastern flank. Lukas breaks down the core principles of manoeuvre warfare and examines whether they remain viable in the uniquely constrained and contested environment of the Baltics. From questions of speed, surprise, and initiative to the realities of terrain, logistics, and adversary capabilities, this conversation dives into the tension between theory and practice. Whether you're a student of military history, a defence professional, or simply interested in contemporary security issues, this episode offers a jarring look at one of today’s most strategically significant regions.
