super AI chips are going to be needed and its going to be a CHIP war...

AI need massive power that does not exist yet... the open source trick just shows how you can run something on your laptop....

chain a few together...

but drone shoot down systems will be needed .. and germany makes the best mobile gun platforms for shooting down drones at the moment...

Yes, but at the time they trained me in the late 70íes in operating the Gepard it had still a mechanical calculator (to make it EMP-prove) - and nevertheless a roughly 98% chance to hit a low flying hypersonic jet.

No attack drones at that stage ... but I am sure a slow flying drone is easier to hit than an approaching fighter jet with Mach 2 or 3. No need for AI to get them out of the sky.

Great to know that second hand GP's anti aircraft tanks are going to be in great demand and that will make up for dropping sales of MERC's...

Uke likes them for sure - and so much cheaper per round than any other specialized and accurate air defense system. While Patriot (Iron dome) is better against rockets, it is highly uneconomical to use against cheap drones.

But apart from that - don't underestimate the potential for MERC ... they do build great trucks (ok, Daimler - DTK), which are used in many better equipped armies. Lots of demand I recon ...

RM has a new high tech version and a single new one has shipped to ukraine..

unfortunately it appears the 155 and 157th lost valuable leo 2 tanks in head on assaults with no drone and electronic warfare support..

there are big performance differences between many aspects of the ukraine forces...

it appears that the US wants ukraine as the 51 state of the US... all those yet to be mined minerals...

a strange twist of fate...

Must be #55 - after having conquered Canada (51), Greenland (52), Mexico (53) and Panama (54). But anyway - I am sure this latest expansion would go even for his best buddy Putler a step too far. So maybe he suggests to split Uke  (as Germany and Russia used to do with Poland in WW II)? Only problem might be - I suppose they both will want the Eastern piece.

No NO.. i joked with a US guy yesterday holidaying at the MOUNT beach that the real prize is Steward Island but they will settle for Tasmania as a port for the resupply of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McMurdo_Station

Will  Putin force Belarus to enter war?

Putin has a man power and donkey power...

China might save Belarus from entering the war as China needs a state in europe.... and they have been investing big there.

Now the US want ukraine...

Europe is now up for grabs...

Time for NZ to join the race? At least we would start from really low levels (which might make the possible percentage gains look really flash). It sounds like our artillery ammo (105 mm shells, the only caliber we can use) was recently down to something like 50 rounds - for all of NZ. This would not go far in any conflict ... I hear Russia is using 24,000 per day.

Increase the 50 shells in storage to 100 shells, then its still a pittance but we raised our storage already by 100%.

China pocketed already Hungary, didn't they? But you are right - they are friendly with what they once called Europe's last dictator. Belarus might be useful for a two-pronged approach - or just the next domino to fall ...
