EXPOSED: Ukraine's 3,000km missile​ forcing Putin into a peace deal | Battle Plans

In this episode of Battle Plans Exposed, former intelligence planner Philip Ingram reveals the remarkable evolution of Ukraine’s homegrown weapons. In 2022, Kyiv was fighting for survival with old Soviet stock. By 2026, Ukrainian engineers operating out of covert warehouses have turned the country into the Silicon Valley of defence, producing ultra-long-range precision weapons capable of striking deep inside Russia. But what happens if you spin the map 180 degrees? Philip maps out the terrifying reality of modern warfare. With Ukraine's new FP1 drone boasting a 1,600km range and the Flamingo cruise missile reaching 3,000km, no major city in Western Europe - including London, Manchester, and Edinburgh - is out of range from this type of low-altitude tech. As Ukrainian soldiers now find themselves educating NATO forces on advanced drone tactics, the West faces a stark wake-up call: the English Channel can no longer protect the UK, and defence spending must change immediately. Plus, Philip analyses how these deep strikes are forcing Vladimir Putin to look for a way to negotiate a ‘salami-slice’ peace deal to hold onto occupied territory. If successful, where will Putin strike next? While most commentators point to the Baltics, Philip explains why the Russian regime is far more likely to target the Caucasus next to avoid a direct confrontation with NATO. Finally, we look at the growing political instability being fed across Europe and the US by Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, and why Donald Trump may have to take drastic military action against the Iranian regime to reopen the Straits of Hormuz.
