Comment on Microsoft says it provided AI to Israeli military for war but denies use to harm people in Gaza
jonne@infosec.pub 2 weeks agoThen again, with how tanks are getting chewed up on both sides of the Ukrainian conflict, they might not be something to invest too much in. Israel is even losing tanks to home made RPGs in Gaza.

Right now, Ukraine is teaching the world about what innovation and access to relatively high tech can impact the battlefield. I think that just took everyone by surprise, and I have no doubt the US military - or, rather, companies who manufacture arms - are furiously developing counters for specifically this. Even Russia is necessarily innovating, even if it’s just by trial and error and often ineffectively.
Defense always trails offense. It’s simply a harder job to protect than destroy. I don’t think drones dropping mortars are going to remain that effective, and if you think tanks have it hard, imagine Russia’s invasion without tanks. Tanks is still king of the the ground offensive.
