  "account": "Ukrainian engineers near the front rewrite their drones' software every couple of days, while a NATO army requires about six months to push the same update. This speed gap poses a significant challenge for Western trainers working with Ukrainian troops in Poland. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is now calling for a large-scale transformation of the West's defense industry to help its armies react faster. In the Polish forest, Camp Jomsborg serves as a mental and geographical middle point between the war in the east and peacetime mechanisms in the West. Brigadier General Atle Molde, who commands the task force, notes the gap in speed: Western drones need new software sent to a Western country or company, taking six months, while Ukrainian engineers sit close to the front, updating software every two days or two weeks, developing and adapting it to real-life situations.",
