☆ Ukraine gives the US a sweet deal with one dead Russian soldier for every $20,000 spent on drones, unit commander says
  + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Matthew Loh | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
A Ukrainian drone commander says his unit can use $100 million to carry out 5,000 lethal strikes, per The Atlantic. The big takeaway was that, on average, for each $20,000 spent on his unit, Ukraine could score one kill on Russian forces. According to The Atlantic's writers, the commander's slides said that a drone unit funded with $100 million could stay on the battlefield for a full year, carrying out 5,000 lethal strikes. AdvertisementThe commander is based out of Kharkiv, according to his Telegram channel, which publishes clips of his drones attacking Russian forces and equipment. In February, Ukraine's then-military chief, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, called for a mindset shift away from a reliance on Western aid and instead toward cheap drones.

☆ Opinion | What War by A.I. Actually Looks Like
  + stars: | 2024-04-10 | by ( David Wallace-Wells | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
apocalypse — visions that sometimes featured autonomous weapons systems going rogue — you might have expected an enormous and alarmed response. Instead, the report that a war was being conducted partly by A.I. Perhaps that was partly because — to an unnerving degree — experts accept that forms of A.I. are already in widespread use among the world’s leading militaries, including in the United States, where the Pentagon has been developing A.I. Many of us still regard artificial intelligence wars as visions from a science-fiction future, but A.I.

☆ Opinion | A Look Back at Our Coming War With China
  + stars: | 2023-07-18 | by ( Carlos Lozada | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
For instance, what if China seeks to take the island by force and Washington opts to not respond? Published in 2021, “2034,” is basically a beach read about how we get to nuclear war. In “The Avoidable War,” Rudd cautions that the incentives for Beijing and Washington to escalate hostilities, whether to save lives or save face, “could prove irresistible.” Ackerman and Stavridis follow that script. Both the United States and China view themselves in exceptional terms, Allison explains, as nations of destiny. “China will be a falling power far sooner than most people think,” Brands and Beckley declare.

☆ Elliot Ackerman Went From U.S. Marine to Bestselling Novelist
  + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( Emily Bobrow | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Elliot Ackerman, whose new novel “Halcyon” is his eighth book in as many years, admits that many of his friends from his Marine Corps days are surprised by his second act as a bestselling novelist: “They say, ‘It’s so odd. Why not become a security consultant?’” But then, friends who knew him as a teenage “skater rat” were similarly shocked when he became a Marine, serving five tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and earning the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for Valor and the Purple Heart.
