With reports of an improvement in Russian battlefield tactics, that certainly could be the case. But, other intel suggests that the difficulties with enforcing discipline amongst junior ranks is actually worsening.

On this week’s Sitrep, Professor Michael Clarke will look at a new report which suggests Moscow has indeed, learned from its mistakes and is preparing a major Ukrainian offensive.

Also, as Russia changes tactics we’ll hear how high-tech satellite imagery has become a vital tool for watching Russian forces in real time and discover who’s using that information.

As the RAF takes delivery of its latest and last A400M transport plane, we’ll look at how it compares with the Hercules C130-J which it’s replacing.

And, it’s an exclusive club, but what’s it actually like being ejected from a fighter jet travelling at hundreds of miles an hour? We’ll hear firsthand from former RAF navigator John Nichol.
