I don’t get the impression that we’re learning much. The Ukrainians and the Russians and even the chinese seem to be years ahead of us on drones.
The silicon chip has changed the nature of warfare. Hopefully from what the US military observed in Ukraine and during the Armenian-Azerbaijan war they stop investing huge sums in naval surface combatants ad land armored vehicles.
This is the funniest headline I’ve read lately! Hello! The US military are using this war as a training / experiment environment.
DoD is partnering with Palmer Luckey’s company, Anduril, the most advanced drone developer [both defense and offense] in the USA ... Palmer Luckey is the Elon Musk of drones ...
And so is the rest of the world.
I vaguely remember a picture in my high school history text where foreign observers were present watching the Revolutionary War battles.
