What is Drill & Defense?
Drill & Defense is an independent analysis platform covering defense, energy security, and geopolitics. We produce structured research, reports, and educational content rooted in open-source data and strategic context.
What do we focus on?
Our work aims to explain complex strategic issues clearly and without unnecessary opinion. We prioritize factual clarity, contextual depth, and relevant trends that help readers understand long-term developments in global security and energy dynamics.
How we approach our content
We commit to a methodology that emphasizes:
Factual grounding: We rely on verifiable data, official sources, and transparent interpretation.
Neutral presentation: While full neutrality is a challenge, our editorial process minimizes speculation and emotional bias.
Accessible language: Concepts are explained in clear, direct terms to reach both specialist and general audiences.
Holistic framing: Topics are contextualized within broader geopolitical and economic systems rather than isolated narratives.
Why Drill & Defense exists
The global strategic environment is interconnected: developments in one region often reverberate across continents. Understanding these connections requires a platform that blends defense analysis with geopolitical and energy insights in a single framework. Drill & Defense was created to fill that space with structured, reliable content.
Who Writes for Drill & Defense
I am Buğrahan Demir, the founder and sole author of Drill & Defense. I manage all research, analysis, and editorial work on the platform, including long-form reports, geopolitical assessments, and defense–energy evaluations. As a certified Firearm Specialist, I also bring technical knowledge on small arms, ammunition, and regulatory frameworks to the analysis I produce.
While I may collaborate with others on specific projects in the future, all core content and analytical direction are currently developed by me.
How we sustain the work
Drill & Defense is reader-first and independent. We share most content freely and offer premium materials or magazines to support ongoing research efforts.
