another source i found claims russian forces used a similar trick successfully in recent years, fascinating stuff
unsurprisingly, western sources aren't reporting on the matter much, i expect due to embarrassment
ELEVEN (11) patriot missiles spent on ONE (1) iranian missile LOLOLOLOLOLOL

the record is now at 20
that's right, 1 iranian glide vehicle deploying a swarm of "penetration aids" (chaff, decoys) zooming right past TWENTY (20) interceptors and making the target

like, at least the fighter jet paintings had perspective and shading to look convincing from the air....

have i reminded y'all recently that my dissertation was on computer vision, my degree was funded by a DoD fellowship, and when i went to work for the navy i could never prove it but i think one of the reasons i was shunned, aside from the ableism and transphobia, was me being vocally against Command and Control automation?

@SapphicGiraffic the actual helicopter sitting 50m away on the runway is

@shoofle from a lower angle it looks like it's in flight, they thought they were hitting a helicopter in flight

@SapphicGiraffic the bigger helicopter is worth more points than the small one

@SapphicGiraffic sent this to my brother and he said this photo itself was AI generated and i think he might be right unless there's a news source i'm not able to find

@SapphicGiraffic This isn't looney toons, it's a smart Iranian tactic taking advantage of an extremely stupid Israeli/Hegseth strategy.
Using decoys isn't new. Using people to examine footage to distinguish decoys from real target isn't new.
What's new is the use of "AI" to generate lots of coordinates of "legitimate" targets with little or no care whether or not the targets are actually legitimate. Even the Russians aren't that stupid.
But you see, Israel only uses "AI" mass target

@SapphicGiraffic determination as fig leaf laundering of bombing everywhere indiscriminately.
And Hegseth and other morons believe the AI hype despite the obvious lying, contradiction with reality, and contradiction with common sense.
AI doesn't care whether or not a target is legitimate. It just spits out however many coordinates per day is requested.

@SapphicGiraffic Both Russia and Ukraine use decoys. Basically everyone uses them. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes all they do is force the enemy to spend a little bit more time observing a real target before attacking it, which itself is worth a little something.
