    I wonder though, How does massed precision beat opposing massed precision?
    Faster Detection, Analysis, Fires, Observation loop? 
    If feels that if any one part of that is faster than the enemy's then their advantage can propagate across all four, through attrition, scale and pace of events, until the enemy compensates. Do it fast enough and the enemy's older formatting becomes a critical weakness. Obviously this is a primary nature of warfare already but the pace and rapidity of scale effects across multiple domains simultaneously is something different. 
    Not looking for a solve, more observation/discussion of potentials.

    Putin very visibly blamed US in his speech ("by hands of Kyiv regime"- note, Ukraine is only triggerman here) and in Russian imperial psyche it is not disgraceful to be smashed by superior Yanks. In other words, it was planned and executed by CIA- earlier US warnings will only support this line of thinking. They are read as threats rather than genuine information, even if we actually know now they were taken seriously in many places in Russia:

    I am pretty sure that as time goes by we will see more "evidence" and propagandists in Russia and abroad will gradually work on minds of populace. 1-2 years from now heads of half of them will be in this strange, shadowy place Kremlin loves to be in- "Who knows, it's mysterious matter, everybody lies but most probably it's foreign agents".
    Unless more similar acts will follow on behalf of IS-K, and fast, original simple message of islamic terror will be bended, broken and reforged dozen times. Also Kremlin propaganda will be multi-directed like always: Margo Simonyan, Solovyov and other scum will work on Ukraine trace (latter probably soon find out extra lead to UK anyway), Putin will wrestle with heroic geopolitical fight with USA (UA is beyond his dignity), Kadyrov will keep unruly parts of muslims for their faces and perhaps only Lavrov will have new tool to show how Russia suffers from US-sponsored jihadi menace, with wink sended here and there that perhaps they could use it as platform of further cooperation like proper empires should do.
    Things will then likely gradually go back to its natural life cycle in Muscovia. Tsar is taking care fo its flock at the Kremlin, evil nazis are in Ukraine, globalists interests kept outside and their domestic opposition assets jailed. Like God commanded.

    My friend had a master thesis on sound indentification of different types of vehicles and it was more than 10 years ago. You don't need AI for that, but it will certainly help, especially to quickly populate database with new types of targets.
    Generally systems like that is a great example of how much you can achieve with almost no material investment. If algorithms are there, you can cover entire country with such systems and get cheap and precise alternative of radar coverage. Every country should have something like that. In time additional network of thermal imagers and seismic sensors should also accompany the radar, which is not always available and is not easily replaced. For current system I would put as a priority different information transport medium as cell network is not reliable. Optical infrastructure is a life saver in war as it is the fastest and immune to all types of interferences.
    Next step is to put automatic HMGs on critical locations and you can start to sleep better at least in regard to danger presented by Shahed class drones. For something bigger(and faster - recent "Zircon") you need big stuff but it is even more important to achieve faster response times. I hope that at the end of this war Ukraine will have nearly impenetrable air defenses(for a sane size of attack) thanks to your own developments and innovations.

    I've noted before my intimation that the full reform of the Ukrainian military is where its true strategic victory lies - and not into the standard Western /NATO model but true reform that keeps what works from the old, Soviet model combined and transformed into a unique hybrid. I suspect that a military which reflects the the nature of and enables the latent power of the transformed society it springs from will be finally secure from Russia. 
    As an inveterate autocracy, with the particular geography it contains, Russia will only ever have the type of military it's ever had - mass and power. 
    Ukraine, being a society that is something more and different, has a generational opportunity to create a unique defence force.

    I told exactly about week ago attack on Kyiv. If something important was hit, like one of workshops of LUCH military plant in December, causing death of 30 emoloyees it would be known. You can't hide anything in large city, when all have social media and cameras.

    I think there is also a spectrum between false flag and real attack:
    You know something specific is going to happen, and you let it happen as you can benefit Grooming potential actors (FBI specialty) Mobilization focused on Muslims is an interesting idea, but on the other hand that might backfire too… does Russia have the capability to put down a full-blown secession in Dagestan right now?

    As someone who has written, recorded and mixed music--Yes this is possible, particularly when inspired or driven to write and record. Mixing and mastering in particular (which used to be painstaking, depending on the level of quality you're looking for) are easier than ever with AI and algorithmic tools.
    Yes I agree, you are writing like a mad conspiracy theorist.

    Russian TG claims yesterday some "Commander" was in Sevastopol (unknown about whom he told - maybe Navy Commander?) also he writes not only "Yamal" and "Azov" landing ships were hit, but also middle intelligense and communication ship "Ivan Khurs"
