Danann posted:(from t.me/milinfolive/98517, via tgsa) I don't know the details about the respective shells but the T-55 100mm cannon might be a better HE slinger than this 85mm artillery piece.

Ending the war in 24 hours would be real easy. You would just have to announce the cessation of US aid.

We've decided our current focus is the nation of Taiwan (-50 social credit points, sorry Dragon this is a joke) -> Ukraine collapses overnight We've decided our new current focus is Mexico. -> Taiwan collapses mmm... peacefully. Very peacefully. Into the gentle arms of the wise Dragon (+50 social credit points) We've decided our new current focus is our internal civil war because gently caress it why not. No cancel that. Canada? gently caress you, you're next. Don't ask questions just put 'em up. Don't look confused you knew this was coming one day.

I think what causes the change here is what I wonder -- what distinguishes google from openai? did they shape this response with an explicit intention (ie someone was told to spend time training it on this topic specifically) , and if so why did not openai do it like that?

Different script writers, different management. "Tell the bot to make people think X". "Okay boss". Average user: Oh the bot (I mean advanced artificial intelligence honest) said X, it must be true.

how are these enormous shipments of tanks and vehicles and military equipment getting into Ukraine without being destroyed? they're coming by rail or caravan, unless they're being delivered one tank/truckload at a time they should be pretty easy to spot from the air. Russia really must be out of missiles ..

The best way to hit vehicles is when they are in depots and not actively moving. The Russians have hit groupings of vehicles coming in before, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Ukrainians have gotten better at keeping sitting too long before breaking them up into smaller groups. I don't know either the problem the Russians have is long-range Ukrainian artillery...the issue is usually the other way around besides still occasional HIMARS strikes but even then they seemed to have gotten less common as time has gone on. Also, yeah, training crews quicker than expected isn't a good thing. I don't think soldiers with a few weeks with experience with a system are going to be able to exploit its full capabilities, but this is about keeping the optics up. The Ukrainians are sounding like they want to push but I don't see how they wouldn't have the same issues that the Russians had around Vuhledar, tons of mines/ATGMs, (and in the case of the Russians) that is backed up by a large amount of artillery and air power. I guess an Ukrainian counter-offensive is probably necessary before a Russian one, we will see (or the Russians just continue shelling).

All the artillery is already dialed in, just let the reinforcements fill the same bunker-craters and fire another volley. Eventually they'll run out of warm bodies.

Russia really must be out of missiles .. russia is a mostly rational actor that is not interested in escalation, so they probably don't want to be firing missiles straight at the polish border also the western wunderwaffe come in as literally a couple dozen systems at a time and probably won't do much to affect the overall war so why waste an expensive cruise missile on something that will either be taken out by cheaper weapons, run out of ammo or break down anyway?

Yeah because they don't just have a lot more guns, they have more and better counter battery radar, drones etc so their guns are faster to respond and more accurate as well as being more numerous.

Slavvy posted:Yeah because they don't just have a lot more guns, they have more and better counter battery radar, drones etc so their guns are faster to respond and more accurate as well as being more numerous. Yeah, and I don't know about shell shortages either to be honest at least for regular units. It really seems like in the background that Russian industry is fully gearing up. Btw, one of the notable effects on the war is on unemployment which has sizably been dropping from 4.4% at the start of the war to 3.6%. Most of the mobilized likely already had jobs, so the effect is probably from increased state investment in arms production which in turn is flowing into other industries including eventually into the service sector. There is an argument to certainly be made that war has a levelling effect historically societies as the stresses created by it requires more state intervention, as well as salaries being paid to the soldiers themselves. (Obviously, in Ukraine this is going to be more complex.) Ardennes has issued a correction as of 10:23 on Mar 28, 2023 |

Russian industry is going full war mode and the EU industry is crying about tiktok data centres making their power bills higher than they'd prefer. Forget USA industries, they're gearing up for the conflict after this one.

If you compare our hit rate to that of the Kremlinologists trying to decipher Soviet policy from Pravda announcements back in the 70's and 80's, I bet we score pretty well.

Kherson was about wether Russian supply lines would hold out or not, and in their case they decided they couldn't. It was a bit of a coin toss.
