Mr. Chair, I want to thank our witnesses for appearing today and for sharing their knowledge and experience on this important issue and how it's affecting NATO and, in particular, how us here in Canada.
I know we're all captivated by the cyber content, cyber warfare, and hybrid warfare that seems to be evolving, especially since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We're seeing technological advances, both in NATO countries and Russia, China, and others, in traditional weaponry like tanks, jets, ships, and nukes. Things are modernizing, and everybody seems to be moving in lockstep.
From some of the reading I've done, I'm a little concerned that our near peer adversaries may actually have the upper hand because of their technological advancements, such as in the world of cyber, cruise missiles, hypersonic missiles, electromagnetic pulse weaponry, and direct energy weapons.
Can we dive down more into where NATO nations are versus where we see the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, and even North Korean in terms of how they're advancing with their weapons and how that's keeping us off balance?
I'll go first to Mr. Rohozinski, and then to our guest by video conference.
