Hopefully, Ukraine can continue to pound the Russian navy, as well as targets in Crimea. The morale on the Russian side has to take a huge hit when these vessels are destroyed (and of course fewer missiles etc will land on Ukrainians as a result).

But I'm wondering if U.S. military leaders are paying attention to how vulnerable its own fleet may be to attacks from comparatively tiny drones and far less-resourced adversaries. Like in a naval conflict with a country that pretty much makes ALL the drones.

@briankrebs I'm further curious how much of future warfare is going to be fought with swarms of inexpensive drones running basic pattern recognition AI

@briankrebs I imagine the U.S. is taking good notes. 🙂

@briankrebs if military history is any indicator, nope. They’ll be focused on tank battle tactics and mobile infantry deployment strategies.

As Vietnam was ending, lots of focus was on guerrilla warfare and improving US ability to fight those types of wars….until the Six-Day War happened and everyone said ‘F that, it’s tank time!’

@briankrebs the directed energy and EMP thingies better work...

Unless the foe(s) get there first. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@briankrebs its insane to me how liberal infosec guys like you fell so quickly into picking a side between two evil capitalist regimes throwing socialists into jail and bombing civilians. Now yall are druling for a US China interimperialist war that could literally end humanity. I hope every US Navy ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean for the sake of humanity

@redlilrascal Hey! Congratulations on being like the first troll account I have muted here today!
