Holy sh**!
(Is my expert opinion)
#AI #drone
Why? Quite the combination between small, armed, and #AI-enabled.
Source: Elbit promotional video 👇

Target engagement is still by human, but target detection and classification is #AI-enabled. And the thing is, control links aren’t necessarily great inside in urban warfare…

Excellent take.
“US spending of 5.6% of its defense budget to destroy nearly half of Russia’s conventional military capability seems like an absolutely incredible investment.” cepa.org/article/its-co…
(And no, this does not discard/ignore Ukrainian deaths. The US (west, Ukraine) did not start this war)
“the war has [also] served to destroy the myth that Russian military technology is somehow comparable to that of the US and West.… Wars are shop windows for defense manufacturers; any buyer in their right mind will want the technology made by the winner.“

Fair (though for once I wasn’t primarily thinking about se tschermans). But this shows the reality of mutual defence clauses. They are - need to be! - at the same time flexible and rigid. You walk a thin line between “the others will definitely come!” and “but there is leeway”.
So what Minna says 👇
This btw explains why we talk so much about NATO article 5, and so little about the EU’s article 42.7. When you look at the wording, they seem very similar, and similarly strong 👇. But…

I am torn between just repeating over and over again “this is not an article 5 case!”* - and explaining that article 5 does not work like people seem to think it does.

*as far as we can tell right now.
But since it never hurts to know more:
1) If article 5 is invoked, the allies don’t *have* to do much of anything, really. Allies decide for themselves. NATO as an explainer on its website where it notes the article’s history 👇 Image
2) Assistance under article 5 is not necessarily military. Again, the allies decide for themselves. The article’s text is already very clear about this: “actions as is deems necessary, *including* the use of armed force”. Image

It’s quite rare that I listen to a discussion on Franco-German politics and so fundamentally disagree not just with the arguments but also with the analysis… 😳 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/new…
Germany and France want a *multipolar world*, @Dr_Pflueger ?!
Last time I checked, a western-led order was massively in Europe’s interest.
Also very surprised by @lauremandeville saying that the French want(ed) the EU to become post-national. And being more emotionally involved in the Franco-German relationship than the Germans.
This goes against everything I’ve read, learned, and experienced in my studies.

Wooow. This morning @JosepBorrellF held a speech addressing the EU ambassadors. And it’s quite something. 😳

It’s very self-critical
It’s very clear-eyed

Story that needs to get more attention: it appears that the major of Berlin has been deceived by a #deepfake video call. She thought she was talking to Kyiv major Vitali Klitschko. tagesspiegel.de/berlin/berlins…
A similar story that happened last year - deep fakes used to deceive European MPs.
Story in English by @dwnews. These are exactly the scenarios people working on #AI-enabled disinformation have been warning about.
