re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Drone/Robotics warfare is going to be the future.

If this is a topic that interests you, search Youtube for Drone Swarm. Also look for OFFSET Field Experiment (DARPA funded). The 6 or so videos on the OFFSET experiments are eye-opening.

Here's a scenario: A swarm is sent against a small town.

The swarm is comprised of several types of drones with different functions. Recon, Jamming, anti-personnel, anti-armor, etc...

The recon and jamming drones go in first while the others loiter above. The recon (Air and ground) drones begin mapping in 3D the entire town, they fly into open doors and windows to map the inside of structures and identify where items of interest are.

As targets are identified, loitering kamikaze drones dive in, to take out the targets be they humans or equipment.

Don't think in drone swarms of tens of drones, think in hundreds or thousands. Cheap single-purpose disposable drones utilizing the same airframe with modular bolt-ons for mission purposes.

From a logistical perspective, using additive manufacturing (3d printing) you could have mobile drone printing facilities where they create the drone, and then depending on the desired functionality, they just plug in the appropriate module.

Watch those Youtube videos

Look at 1:12 and 1:30 of this one, you can see the realtime 3D map buildup

Isn’t that basically what was in that Olympus Has Fallen movie a while back?

Moldova and Ukraine in the EU would be a disaster. The UK must have a crystal ball.

Ukraine has potential and resources. Their addition would bring in the only euro country with real significant combat experience comparable to a war in the continent.

That said, I think the UK made the right move for themselves. Did at the time and still do. UK also doesn’t need the EU like others.

The issue is dealing with a swarm of impoverished refugees moving from war torn Ukraine to the wealthier Northern European cities. The Ukraine would face a brain drain while much of Europe would face an ever increasing housing crisis and further downward pressure on wages.

The issue of Eastern Europeans flooding British cities was one of the leading causes of Brexit.

What is up with you tankies and your anti-Semitism?

I think middle eastern and African types were the back breaker for UK citizens, much more than eastern Europeans.

Not really. Google "Polish Plumber" and "Brexit".

Yes, that’s what free movement means. Given the birth rates and TFR’s of European countries, they need the labor. Poland was similarly underdeveloped with a slightly higher per capital GDP when they joined the EU in 2004, but the net benefit for themselves has been, in economic terms, fantastic. Not surprisingly, you are looking at this as though the only thing that matters is Northern Europe. The benefit goes two ways.
