#SWJBookReview: “The Weaponisation of Everything: A Field Guide to the New Way of War,” by Mark Galeotti. Yale University Press (@yalepress).
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
👤Reviewed by: LCDR Ciprian C.- a Romanian Special Operations Forces officer (pursuing a Master of Science in Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School (@NPS_Monterey ).
ㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤ
“States are increasingly turning the instruments of civilian life into weapons: business and sanctions, criminal proxies, legal procedures, information ecosystems, and culture. While this shift is commonly treated as a revolutionary development driven by Russia’s hybrid adventurism, Galeotti’s central and most provocative claim is that it is nothing of the sort. The techniques may be more sophisticated and the environment more interconnected, but the underlying logic of subverting, demoralizing, and outmaneuvering an adversary without resorting to full-scale military force is as old as statecraft itself.”

“UAVs have emerged as the most disruptive military technology being widely used by the state for reconnaissance, surveillance, logistics and attack.”

In this article, Dr. J. Jeganaathan explores how Pakistan’s "Deep State" is leveraging commercial and military-grade drones to fuel a "proxy war" through arms and narcotics smuggling. The study emphasizes the urgent need for India to deploy robust anti-drone "sky fences" and a unified national policy to counter these evolving aerial threats.
