Given the pace of technical and tactical adaptation in Ukraine, there's a pretty constant stream of weapons or other systems that are talked up as the next big potential "game changer." Some of those systems go on to make a difference, others...don't. So roughly once I year I like to look at a collection of things that attracted hype and evaluate how they have actually performed so far and today, it's time for the 2025 edition - covering everything from Oreshnik and interceptors, to shotguns, turtle tanks, and Ukraine's innovative Sky Fortress and Zvook sensors.
