Russia is learning how to fight against America’s technical superiority using low tech with a combination of new tech. They are producing around 35,000 drones a month now too. They even invented a new drone that uses a fiber optic cable that can go a couple miles and is impossible to jam.

They are also adding rudimentary AI to send drones at specific people and objects that don’t need an operator.

When I heard about the cable, I thought it was impossible. But they are making strong flexible fiber optics that are about the width of a two hairs. I imagine a fleet of fifty tanks trying to take on ten thousand drones?

Battlefield tactics are changing. Steel sharpens steel, we are making a weak Russian army much more capable.

So, what's your estimation? Russia will finally win the war in 5 or 10 or 100 years? No matter what, it looks like a war that Russia can't win, no matter what new tools they get. After 2 years, the 'superior' force is in a quagmire, and can win some battles but lose others. That's no way to win a war.

Do you think everything to learn in the Russian debacle is invisible to the advanced militaries of the rest of the world and that only Russia can see what lessons are to be learned, or even that Russia is more capable of developing the next generations of technology and choosing which ones should be developed, and in what form?

“Steel sharpens steel, we are making a weak Russian army much more capable.”

True. Each time Russian ship is sinking or another oil depot is hit, Russia is getting stronker.

So a slow tow missile with improved range.
