Stage Talks with Bellingcat por Bellingcat

Notas del episodio

This week, we explored the practicalities of modern warfare. How do we measure military power? Is it possible to fairly compare fighting resources between regions? In this episode, Michael Hilliard from the Oxus Society for Central Asian Affairs walked us through their latest research, mapping the militaries of Central Asia. Michael was also joined shortly on stage during the talk by Mitchell Polman, an OSINT researcher who helped with the mapping project.

The talk was hosted by Charlotte Maher on Thursday November 6th 2025. Music featured is courtesy of Artlist.
