  "description": "Estonian Military Intelligence Chief Colonel Kaupo Rosin stated in a January 2025 interview that the current military threat to NATO remains low. However, Russia is actively conducting comprehensive military reforms focusing on improving combat readiness, new technologies including drone warfare, and increasing strategic mobility. Rosin highlighted Russia's modernization efforts, such as expanding unmanned aerial vehicles and restructuring forces for rapid deployment. He also warned that Western armies, including NATO members, suffer from a lack of recent combat experience, posing challenges to defense preparedness. The interview emphasized the importance of increased Western adaptation to hybrid and modern warfare tactics amidst evolving Russian military capabilities and ongoing conflicts such as in Ukraine.",
