So footage of two different kills from the past day show a difference in drone philosophy by western and russian forces
In one clip, UA forces killed an isolated Russian troop using their new trial of AI tech that tries to get around the limitations of input delay and counter jamming by being autonomous for its attack descent. No latency and works even if EW is present. In the other clip, RU forces destroyed a Ukrainian tank that was being trailed by an EW jammer vehicle, using a fly by wire fiber optic drone that just unspools its cable in flight, and it was able to simply avoid and fly around the blocking EW vehicle in its path with precision and hit its target. Again with no latency and negating the jamming.
The US created deadly AI holds a lot more philosophical problem and potential for opening pandora's box, while the Russian solution is simple and effective. There's potential for counterplay in both, AI image recognition could be fooled by visual obfuscation, while fly by wire drones can be snipped at the ground or limited for non-linear paths (circling around a target leaves its wire exposed)
