Joe Ferguson forever Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Great piece on weaponry and starlink from UB grad Terry Gross interviewing a reporter who’s covering it. He also reported on Guliani for years. Some interesting comments: https://www.npr.org/2023/09/13/1199222328/ny-times-reporter-details-the-struggle-within-the-military-to-modernize-its-forc LIPTON: Yes, I mean, no question. And again, everyone you speak with at the Department of Defense will tell you that they're tracking the commercial technology in particular that's been used in Ukraine. I mean, it's the traditional, you know, missile systems and other, you know, heavy artillery that has played - it's still a 20th century war effectively that's being fought in Ukraine. But on the margins, the drones and the satellite imagery and the - you know, the artificial intelligence that is helping with targeting that Palantir is bringing - they're making significant impact on Ukraine's side and its ability to challenge a much bigger nation and a much bigger military force. And so I think that DOD has looked at the innovative use of this new technology, and it's - and it has really shown the Pentagon that they must move more quickly to embrace, you know, everything from satellite-based imagery that's put up there by commercial companies at a much cheaper cost. You know, you can flood the orbit with these much smaller and inexpensive satellites that would be harder to take out in - by Chinese, if they were to go and strike in space. And you can, you know, build swarms of drones, and, you know, these are all things that Ukraine is - has done, and it's really sort of - it's a version of a modern war that we haven't experienced in the world before that - I think that has really enlightened the Pentagon to - that this isn't esoteric. This is real. We have to act now. Edited September 14, 2023 by Joe Ferguson forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Callahan Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 the Biden administration is mulling giving Ukraine the Pentagon's long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, which is capable of hitting targets 190 miles away. Per ABC News: on top of Ukraine using UK supplied cruise missiles. its all just driving escalation and carnage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 The walls be closing in Wednesday’s attacks on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet “almost certainly” caused major damage to a landing ship and submarine as they underwent maintenance at the Sevastopol naval base, Britain’s Defense Ministry said Friday. Open-source material indicates that the landing ship Minsk “has almost certainly been functionally destroyed, while the [Rostov-na-Donu submarine] has likely suffered catastrophic damage,” the ministry said. It added that repairs to the submarine are “likely to take many years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars,” while removing wreckage could leave the docks “out of use for many months.” --Was post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then the ones making bank from this carnage might have to find another source of revenue. one of the biggest cheerleaders for the carnage openly stated its profiting from its investment in some shady military industrial company.
