I am confident that our folks at Cal and MIT have been working on this for years.
I cannot imagine the military leadership sitting on their asses, wringing their hands about how these smart Russians beat us.
When assessing risks you cannot assume that there is no countering action. I see that mistake made on FR all the time. Just because the countermeasures aren’t found on Yahoo News, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
You’d fit right in with the 1945 Germans, thinking that wunderweapons are going to be deployed soon, saving them from the Russians and Americans who are advancing daily.
Hate to tell you, but NO, they haven’t as those programs were all cancelled.
Good points. But the current people in charge are unable to comprehend what you say.
I don’t know about that.
In the 1990s, Clinton gutted our military and we were cross-decking anmo. Our fleet readiness was at 67%.
Bush was a disaster for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama bombed the snot out of everyone and depleted our stockpikes.
Thankfully, Trump came along and started building things up again.
That was 2 years ago. We all know Biden is a disaster. Hopefully Trump did enough to carry us through.
You have obviously not served as an action officer in the Pentagon. We literally sat on our asses and did nothing when we fell behind in cyber warfare. And when the response was finally made, it was a snails pace, pieced together and woefully inadequate. When we detected inadequecies at the staff officer/SME level.....we couldn’t get it in because of the budget cycle and the staffing process wouldn’t allow it. They got one shot to build it-— and when the assumptions were off— the system couldn’t handle it. The SMEs didn’t come correct.
That is only one example. I have a half dozen more that just popped in my head.
Never underestimate the Pentagon to sit on their asses and watch the world go around. It’s an art form.

Our military leadership are obsessed with climate change — our most important defense challenge don’t you know — and making sure that our military is “equitable” and is comprised, in great enough numbers, of every type of sexual whackadoo that has floated to the top of the cesspool. Doubt they have enough time and mental bandwidth left over for serious warfighting tasks.
...on teams lead by CCP engineers and physics majors?
Our folks? Like Chinese?
One can only hope we're on top of it...
