The changing face of War: F35 Vs drones

A drone built in Kyiv costs between $300 and $5,000 for the larger longer-range models.    The cheap battlefield drones are already changing the nature of warfare because drones are more polyvalent and extremely cheap in their simplest format.    The reality is that Ukraine was able to shut down airports around Moscow last weekend with its drone, which is 1,700 miles from the Ukrainian border.     The question is therefore is America's war machine geared to the war of 30 years ago or to the war of today.   A swarm of small drones could lay waste to the flight operation of an aircraft carrier, and while the F35 is a fantastic platform it's hard to justify the capital, and manpower when a drone costs 1.000th the cost can do about 95% of its mission. 

How many American war vessels are built specifically for drone operations?   How about none!   Of course, the firepower of an aircraft carrier can be unbelievable but it may be taken to a standstill rather than victory because of drones.  

I have been told that the Southern American border is now intensely patrolled by drones that do with 1/100 the budget the border patrol used to do by foot and by car, not only that but the drones can see illegal migrants for miles before they get to the border.

AI is now installed on board drones so that they can learn and operate in. a group more effectively.   

War as we know it is changing

The end of Tesla?

 it takes a special kind of idiot, to think that he can antagonize his entire customer base, and think that it will not impact his business. When Elon Musk went to work for Donald Trump, and created the doge department, he antagonized every liberal, and these people represent 90% of his client base.That’s not a brilliant move. Now Elon Musk is worth hundreds of billions of dollar, so he shouldn’t care a great deal, however, he needs to care because of several other issues. The cyber truck has been a disaster, most have had to be recalled because of defective glue, it’s not a truck, it’s not a car, it’s noisy, relatively uncomfortable, but great as a development platform. What Tesla has learned in making car manufacturing more seamless is truly amazing. The problem was that Elon Musk was so pissed with the Democrats, and with Joe Biden, in particular because of some slight, which were just plain stupid too. By the way, that he decided to support with hundreds of millions of dollar, ...

Donald Trump‘s bad bargain

 The entire of 2023 and 2024 when Donald Trump was running for the White House, his mantra was no war, that the Ukraine conflict would be resolved in a day, and that he would do everything not to involve America and war. How the world has changed! He finds himself facing three conflicts; Ukraine, still going on almost 5 months after he became president. Gaza, an unspeakable crime against humanity, is obviously going to go all the way to its bitter end. And finally, Israel’s attack against Iran. It’s important to note, that Benjamin Netanyahu first indicated at the United nation that the Iranian were 3 to 5 years away from having the nuclear bomb. He made that statement in 1995. Therefore, no one is surprised that he uses the same two lines every so often. It’s entirely possible, that 30 years after he first announced it, that Iran has finally developed the bomb. It’s also remarkable that Iran, local power has been destroyed, from Yemen, to Syria, via Lebanon and Gaza to small exten...

TACO again, but worst!

 Donald Trump got the rare earth metals that he had thrown away on April 2, liberation day as he called it. What did the Chinese get in exchange? The whole deal, is on the wrap right now. But let’s be clear. It’s the Chinese that have the upper hand.Some of the materials made by the Chinese, are simply unavailable anywhere else. suspicions are that the Chinese got the high-end chips that they lost under Biden. Tariffs will probably return to the level of April 1, and in the end Donald and his friends got nothing for it. It gets worse, Chinese exports to United States are down 40%. The Chinese have found new markets, I probably never gonna buy American grain again. Once again, Donald Trump proved he’s a great negotiator. He got absolutely nothing for his Showmanship. He told the world, that everyone would come and kiss his ass, instead they’re laughing At him. There’s no joke about Donald Trump, a 25 and inherited a huge fortune and proceeded to make it a small one. Bottom line, the...
