Swarm A.I. with thousands of cheap drones armed with high explosives , being guided by satellite is absolutely terrifying. Truly the stuff of nightmares .
@a5cent6 ай бұрын
You've missed the entire point of AI. A drone swarm using AI will not need any guidance at all, neither from satellite nor anything else. They will have a range of missions they know how to complete, and the operators will only tell them where and when. The rest they will do autonomously, including target acquisition, prioritization and engagement. All while cooperating with other members of the swarm and dynamically re-tasking if a swarm member is disabled. We've seen nothing yet. This will be on the market in two or three years.

I knew the second I got the first DJI Mavic Pro to film my Vietnam vacation that this was the future of warfare. I wasn’t even so much thinking about placing munitions on them I was purely looking at it from a call for fire standpoint and how it would revolutionize how we planned out our fire missions.

I understand that part of the design spec of the Fairey Swordfish was 'low and slow' and 'stringbag', that is WW1 wood, wire and doped linen. It's very hard to shoot down these aircraft because there's so little to them. The prop and engine protects the crew, and the wings and fuselage can take plenty of shrapnel damage. As for radar controlled gunnery, this post-dates the design, but this too sees few returns due to a lack of metal, and in part due to low flying.

The game has changed, twice, in recent years: ship killing missiles currently used to attack shipping in the Red Sea and now drone warfare. It should be obvious that if the Ukrainians can attack precision targets to the rear, terrorists can also use/develop this capability.

It is interesting that in warfare often one piece of tech will totally change the game. In WWl it was the internal combustion engine. In WWll it was radar. Today it is the AI drone. Tomorrow it will be the flint spear.

Drones are legal in the US. Electronics are legal. Carbon fiber cloth and resin is legal. 3d modeling software is legal and cheaper than a Glock. Buy a drone. Design and fabricate modifications. Wire those mods to operate off of some radio signal. The only thing holding you back is willingness to learn.

I would argue that there was another revolution in the post Vietnam era, when the military moved to regional commands with authority to assemble Force packages from any service to serve specific missions. During Vietnam, the services pretty much fought their own wars - without much coordination - reminiscent of MacArthur and Nimitz splitting up the Pacific theatre. The first Gulf War illustrated this innovation in spades. General Schwarzkopf commanded a region (US Cent Comm) and was lead in prosecuting the war in his region - with authority over units of all services. This was a vast improvement in coordination and effective use of forces, and allowed more rapid force projection.

Also, the drones are directed by US air assets. If the Russians were allowed to target them the drones would have to rely entirely on their own autonomous AI.

Peter, telling the world a ship can't hit something below level is total BS. Stay in your lane. No naval officer (I'm one of them) will believe you when you speak nonsense like that. True, missiles won't hit something next to you, but the main gun on most ships will depress below level and for stuff that's closer in, there are CIWS which stands for, get this, CLOSE IN Weapon System. It's a radar controlled gatling gun that can hit fast moving air or surface targets relatively close to the ship. And when it comes to small boat attacks which are essentially like Ukraine's drones that have sunk several ships, modern warships carry machine guns that are moving from human controlled (.50 cal usually) in older ships to more modern optically remote or autonomously controlled in newer ships. The human controlled ones have trouble keeping up with many small boats but the Russians don't have modern ones so they're stuck using people to aim in the dark. Highly ineffective. Modern systems can handle them much better but still not perfectly. I've heard you say that ships guns can't depress in several videos now. Total nonsense.

Another major factor is gut bacteria. As a consequence of Stalin's centralized economy and subsequent liberalization of trade relations in the EU regarding leafy vegetables, cabbage consumption has plummeted amongst average Russians. As a result, this is the second generation that lacks essential gut bacteria that enhances the absorption of critical neuro-enhancing vitamins and minerals. The average neuro-synaptic cycle has decline three fold as a result and accordingly, time sensitive decision making processes are simply no longer the forte of Russian planners. Blame the lack of beet and cabbage borscht. Blame fast food. That is the end of my Ted Talk (drops the mic).

It only took us 20 years. Military Technical Revolutions and Revolutions in Military Affairs only happen when the leadership stops putting road blocks up. (It's the "We won the last time, why change something that isn't broke?") UNTIL a force is being defeated. Then the roadblocks disappear. That's why RMA's are usually kicked off by the side that lost the last one. Maybe we'll be successful in the change before we lose this one.

The US has no hypersonic missiles. No wonder he dismisses them. The Kinzhal has to lauched via jets, so when a MiG 31 is in the air, you know one is coming.
