All these your stories sef Remember Russia ordered 4 Helicopter carriers / Mistral warships from France in 2010 but US put pressure on France to stop the deal when France was ready to deliver two of the four warships after Russia annexed Crimea. It was Egypt that later bought those warships and France had to reimburse Russia. If we should go by all these your analogies Russia would not have ordered those ships for the fear that France could place backdoor on them. Russia sourcing components abroad for it defence industry is not a big deal US does that too no country is an Island. This war is not worth it, it is affecting Russia though Russia won't go down as the West had hoped. Anyone who supports Russia might pretend those sanctions aren't having impact. I love Russia too but I must be factual. US fields over 200 F22 Raptor, Over 500 f35. China Fields over 220 J-20. Russia fields just 11 SU-57 Russia that ought to continue its military modernization is now distracted by war in Ukraine that has no end in sight.

HornyTave1: Are you being intentionally dumb? I never called it fake, I said its foolish Demanding Ukraine keep less than 250k soldiers, less than certain amount of equipment etc. It is not a treaty, it's a surrender document and Ukraine never signed any such document to turn themselves into slaves, they chased Putin from Kiev. Putin is a barefaced liar to claim this document is the reason he retreated from Kiev. This is his foolish proposal which he was told to stick up his ãrse. |

Shoodboi: Haba, this your analysis reeks of anti-west ideologies. Let me start with where you said US instigated world war 1. The first world war was as a result of the killing of Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the austro-hungarian throne by a Bosnian Serb named Gavrilio princip. The US had till this time been a militarily neutral country and only joined the war towards the end of it in 1917. By the assassination of arch Duke Franz Ferdinand, austro-hungary held Serbia responsible and declared war on Serbia. Russia then came to Serbia's defence and joined the war. The power of Russia was what brought Germany also to the defence of Austro-Hungary. The failure of Germany to defeat France according to plan was what made the fighting to expand to secondary fronts and Bulgaria, Greece, Romania and Italy also joined the war between 1915 and 1916. United States joined the war in 1917 oooooo. But here you are, spewing lies that the US instigated them to go to war when the events that led to the war was never an issue that had to do with US. You people and your anti-western ideologies will kuku not mislead people. I tire for you ooo. To the part where you said Germany attempted a comeback in world war 2. The fact that you tactically left out the holocaust proves how much hatred has consumed your soul. The losses of Germany and its attempt to regain lost territories coupled with the fact that there is no pin-pointedly an issue that can be ascribed to the cause of world war 2 because of several factors. But again, you are here blaming the US for every evil that has ever occurred despite the fact that the world at that time was reasoning that the excesses (Holocaust) of rogue nations such as Germany could no longer be tolerated as well as the expansionist agenda of Japan. May the Spirits forgive your damned soul. |

dermmy: It's important to add those stories in order to give people a historical context. Years ago, I worked as a research writer for a website that deals in military, spying, intelligence, counterintelligence, and all, and I tell you, the things I read during that time were insane. At a point, I even disbelieved them because WTF? Countries have gone to great lengths to do mad things. So mad that they sound impossible. And that is the one we know. Now, imagine the ones we don't know. With that said, the might of the Russian navy lies in its submarines and not the surface fleet. In a war with NATO, do you even think the Russian navy's surface fleet will last? I doubt that. And Russia doubts it too. That's why it puts its money on its submarines instead. And even those ones, it's the larger and more powerful submarines it invests in and not smaller ones. On the Su-57, at this point, I will take anything anyone says about that jet at surface level. No one even knows how many Russia has, and everyone keeps throwing figures about. The only reference I found to the 11 you quoted is from Wikipedia and even Wikipedia lists it as being from a "questionable source." 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Russia uses AI-powered missile to shoot down Ukrainian Aircraft for the first time in history of military warfare https://sputnikglobe.com/20230614/which-russian-weapons-systems-have-built-in-ai-1111158825.html Russia’s minister of industry confirmed to Sputnik on Tuesday that an S-350 Vityaz missile system operating in “automatic mode” had been successfully used in the ongoing Russia-NATO proxy war in Ukraine. How has Russia incorporated AI in its military equipment? What is it used for? And which specific systems have it? Sputnik explores. “Just recently…for the first time in the world, the Vityaz performed the automated detection, tracking and destruction of Ukrainian air targets in combat conditions,” Industry Minister Denis Manturov told Sputnik on Tuesday in a wide-ranging interview. The minister’s remarks were corroborated in a Sputnik report in May, with an informed source telling the news agency that “several” Ukrainian warplanes and drones had been shot down by a Vityaz, and that the “detection, tracking and destruction” were carried out in fully automatic mode. First unveiled in 2013 and introduced into service with the Russian military in late 2019, the S-350 is a hybrid upgrade of the S-300 featuring an increased ammunition load, improved electronic countermeasures, an upgraded radar complex, and a new targeting computer allowing it to quickly find targets and survey the battlespace, and integrate with other complexes to increase the density of anti-aircraft firepower. The S-350 has a reported maximum range of up to 120 km, depending on missile, and can engage as many as 16 aerodynamic targets or 12 ballistic ones at altitudes up to 30 km simultaneously. 4 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Kingsnairaland(m): 1:34pm On Jun 18, 2023 |
Detailed information about the computer hardware used by the S-350 is difficult to come by, given the secrecy around most Russian military computing applications. What is known is that the computer is able to independently determine which type of missile would be most effective for use against a particular target. Furthermore, having determined enemy targets’ parameters, the computer can independently outline the sequence for their destruction, and calculate which subordinated forces and installations to fire from (if applicable) for greatest efficiency. The system’s human operators retain the last word, and can either approve the course of action chosen by the computer or independently punch in an alternative. In any event, AI-assisted calculations in air defenses serve a crucial purpose: reducing reaction time, and therefore increasing combat readiness and effectiveness. Defining AI Before going any further, it’s important to set definitions for what constitute "AI weaponry." Often, when we imagine AI, it’s some powerful, insanely expensive and complex hardware and software – like Skynet from The Terminator series of movies, or Deus Ex Machina in The Matrix. The reality is, artificial general intelligence – the idea of a type of AI that possesses true human-like cognitive capabilities, including the ability to learn, reason, solve problems, and communicate using natural language, has yet to be created. Instead, what we see today in discussions around AI is actually artificial narrow intelligence, or ANI – a goal-oriented version of AI designed to allow a computer to become extremely good at one task in particular – like playing chess, writing essays, or, as the case may be, shooting down enemy air targets. In other words, it can be safely said that weapons like the S-350 Vityaz won’t gain self-awareness and decide to build a utopian machine society free from humans. Not only because their algorithms lack the ability to engage in such mind experiments or ponder their own existence, but because of the computing power limitations of Russian industry. Beyond Politics Not All Doom & Gloom: AI’s ‘Superpower’ May Bring '$4.4 Trillion in Value' to Global Economy 14 June, 11:09 GMT Old School AI Russian defense companies have been working to integrate ANI into their products for decades, with basic automation especially important in various high-precision weapons. For instance, the Granit and Oniks lines of anti-ship cruise missiles have technically simple, but mathematically sophisticated computers that can select, prioritize, and differentiate targets automatically using information collected during flight. They can also work in groups, evade enemy electronic warfare and air defenses, select a pack leader and even deliberately divert defensive fire onto themselves as their comrades proceed to the main target. And they do it all using 1980s microchip technology (in the case of the Granit). The Oniks, created in the 2000s, operates according to similar principles, but with more complex algorithms made possible by advances in computer hardware. The Buran space shuttle is another example of well-coded ANI developed using very limited computing resources. In 1988, the shuttle blasted off to space, after which it descended back down to Earth and landed at the Baikonur Cosmodrome without any human interference, with its onboard 16-bit main computer independently adjusting for wind conditions and altering its course, enabling a flawless landing. The Buran’s achievement wouldn’t be replicated until 2010, when the Boeing X-37 orbital test vehicle autonomously landed at Vandenberg Air Base in California using a far more sophisticated onboard computer. 4 Likes |
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Kingsnairaland(m): 1:34pm On Jun 18, 2023 |
The missile defense system around Moscow is also known to use elements of ANI automation, both in its ground-based Don-2N radar system, which automatically detects targets and offers a course of action for operators. If an intercept decision is made, A-135 Amur interceptor missiles featuring a fully-automated target detection and tracking system, including the ability to distinguish between real and dummy enemy targets, are fired to intercept and destroy the intruders. The system’s successor, the A-235 Nudol, is expected to be even more advanced, and is currently undergoing testing. Much has also been said about "Dead Hand" – the automatic nuclear-control system known in Russia as Perimeter – which has the ability to launch Russia’s nuclear deterrent independently if the country’s leadership is killed in a surprise enemy decapitation strike. The system, which first took up combat duty in the mid-1980s, uses a network of stationary and mobile control systems which assess seismic activity, radiation levels, air pressure and temperature, monitor military radio frequencies and keep a close watch over missile early warning data. After this information is analyzed, if a potential enemy nuclear attack is suspected, the system attempts to communicate to the General Staff. If no response is received, the automated system can make a decision to retaliate. Perimeter was taken offline in the mid-1990s amid warming relations between the West and Russia, but reactivated in late 2011 amid NATO’s eastward expansion, Pentagon research into the "Prompt Global Strike" initiative, and efforts to place US missile defenses and precision cruise missiles near Russia’s borders. 3 Likes |

The Marker’s older cousin, the Uran-9 tracked unmanned combat ground vehicle, manufactured by Kalashnikov Concern, features its own AI-assisted capabilities, including an automatic obstacle detection and avoidance system, and automatic target tracking. The Uran-9 saw combat testing in Syria in 2018, but got mediocre reviews from the Defense Ministry’s 3rd Central Research Institute, which complained about its limited mission functionality. Developers have reportedly worked to resolve these issues, and Uran-9s were used in a fire support and reconnaissance capacity in large-scale Russian-Belarusian drills in 2021. But they have yet to be deployed in the conflict in Ukraine, for reasons unknown. AI-Powered Drones in the Sky The Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik-B (lit. "Hunter-B") is another prospective drone system with advanced autonomous capabilities. The massive, 20-ton drone is envisioned as a heavy unmanned reconnaissance and attack UAV with loyal wingman functionality thanks to an AI-assisted data link with manned aircraft. Flight testing of the system began in 2019, with the drone demonstrating its ability to successfully operate autonomously and interact with Su-57 aircraft, and to carry out bombing runs using free-fall bombs and precision-guided missiles. If everything goes as planned, the heavy UAV will enter service with the Aerospace Forces in 2024. 3 Likes |

Kingsnairaland:Of course, they can build their own weapons. The problem is that they are yet to reach the level of technology of US. Thus, their weapons always remain inferior to US. Let me burst your bubble. It is not just by building the biggest nonsense military hardware, it is by building the most effective. China unveiled its aircraft carrier about two or three years ago with amazing abilities but the fact remains that stuff is still inferior to the US Nimitz class that were built in 1975, talk less of the USS Gerald Ford. No country except US has been able to build a NUCLEAR POWERED aircraft carrier. If you know the advantage that it gives, you won't compare US military technology with Chinese rust machine. Let me tell you one: A nuclear powered aircraft carrier can stay in operation for up to 15 years without needing to refuel. All that is needed will be food for those operating it. Compare that with Chinese nonsense and you will see that it does not stand a chance with a military technology built in 1975. All that is needed to ground that Chinese rust is to destroy its supply chain and then it stops working when fuel finishes. I hope you can see why US is a second to none when it comes to military technology. |

Gbadebo19: The US most expensive weapon (aircraft carriers) are useless against Russia and China. It can be used against Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and the likes. But not against other super power/powers. Russia and China have varieties of missiles that they can use to destroy the entire US strike group. In a world war, missiles and submarines will play the major role. The billion dollar Zumwalt destroyer and other very expensive US weapon may not see battle. A new world war is going to be a missile war. Nothing more and nothing less. This is the reason Russia invests more on defense systems. The US on the other side invests heavily on offensive weapon, strictly because it wants to be able to project power outside it territory. Majority of those weapons will not see battle in a new world war. 6 Likes 1 Share |
