A BMPT Terminator disabled near Krasnohorivka.

Translation:

This is the vehicle after a fierce fight. Something hit the fucking roof. We’re lucky that the tracks were not hit, they were trying to hit the tracks. This got hit hard too. Dynamic armor saved it. Protected it by exploding the charges. It’s out of the fight though.

Impressive, I remember the other BMPT they managed to knock out near Kreminna was really giving the Ukrainians are a rough time.

Oh really when?

Ought to give the Ukrainians an easy time with them BMPT removed.

AI plane partiticpated in a mock dog fight with human onboard.

With the midday sun blazing, an experimental orange and white F-16 fighter jet launched with a familiar roar that is a hallmark of U.S. airpower. But the aerial combat that followed was unlike any other: This F-16 was controlled by artificial intelligence, not a human pilot. And riding in the front seat was Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall.

AI marks one of the biggest advances in military aviation since the introduction of stealth in the early 1990s, and the Air Force has aggressively leaned in. Even though the technology is not fully developed, the service is planning for an AI-enabled fleet of more than 1,000 unmanned warplanes, the first of them operating by 2028.

Ukrainian showing off a Russian ShOAB-0.5 frag grenade that's about to get a second life for a future drone attack.

Likely one that's captured.

"Vista’s military operators say no other country in the world has an AI jet like it, where the software first learns on millions of data points in a simulator, then tests its conclusions during actual flights. That real-world performance data is then put back into the simulator where the AI then processes it to learn more."

They have put an LLM into a fighter aircraft.

If your talking about the US one up there it's a GAN actualy.

@De Marquis RE: AI controled jet fighter. You said:

Well, combat can be seen as a form of communication, a language of violence if you will...

To the best of my understanding, LLM's aren't just language specific. They can learn anything that there are repeated sequences of.

Your correct, but agian, Alpha/Vista is a GAN not an LLM these are diffrent methods of AI creation.

GAN are zero sum games where you have the AI compete against version of itself, LLM are every thing all at once, this DARPA program has existed since before LLM exist, and has talked about in the past about its Adversarial Network....

Plus... you know zero sum training just works really well for military situations, for fairly obvious reasons.

A US army soldier who's suppose to be stationed in Fort Cavazos after the ROK was detained in Russia for theft. He's seeing a woman he knows in Vladivostok.

Russian MOFA acknowleges the case and says that he's being charged for "theft" and nothing political.

Ukrainian tankers talk about the M1A1SA (turn on captions for English subtitles). They compliment the overall firepower, accuracy and maneuverability, but note that the armour has been downgraded compared to the original version in US service. The tankers would also like proper HE-frag rounds for the 120mm gun, as well as extra ARAT tiles on the turret.
