NATO’s Theory of Victory: Deterrence, Resilience, and Defense Capacity

A panel of defense officials, NATO representatives, and industry leaders discusses the capabilities needed to deter and defend against Russian aggression. The conversation examines logistics, air defense, industrial production, intelligence, and the role of public-private cooperation, with examples from Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine.

■ Deterrence and resilience
- Forward defense, national preparedness, air and missile defense, and responses to hybrid threats
- Poland’s efforts to counter disinformation and strengthen public resilience
■ Building defense capacity
- NATO investment targets, procurement, co-production, supply chains, and industrial scale-up
- European capacity, support for Ukraine, and preparations for a more balanced alliance
■ Audience questions
- China’s support for Russia, U.S. military presence in Europe, and European defense funding

For viewers following NATO, European security, or defense policy, the discussion offers perspectives on the challenges and practical measures raised by panelists. It can help viewers identify areas to track, including investment, production, resilience, and cooperation with Ukraine; it does not provide a detailed operational plan.
