In this episode of Why We Fight we’re speaking with Dr Alex Fergusson. He’s a British boffin in the highest and best tradition.
A PhD in materials science from Imperial College London, he initially founded a green tech company: FAC Techonology. When Russia invaded Ukraine, he refocused his efforts on arming the Ukrainian military with the best drones he could design.
We talk about his experience of repression in the 2019 protests in Hong Kong, what makes a good drone for the Ukrainian military and, of course, why he believes Democracy is worth fighting for.
