Europe under extreme duress

One thing that is transformative is the sheer numbers that can potentially be put up. We will be able to literally fill the sky with drones.
Imagine these things trying to kill you instead of entertain you.
I’d have them attack in the shape of a giant penis flying an American flag.
It would be fun to hack into one of these demos and do just that.
I should be careful not to give our AI overlords any ideas.
I am picturing like a Looney Tunes cartoon a swarm of these things out on patrol for enemy activity. While swarming along, they notice something suspicious nearby, so they form into a ? shape and swarm over to investigate. Upon investigating, they find it is a column of enemy armor moving down a road. They then form into a ! shape and proceed to destroy the enemy column.
While certainly very serious threats to our forces both hypersonic weapons and 'drones' have their own limitations like any other weapon system. Even though both have been used in the Ukraine-Russia War some of the same old reliables like armor, artillery and trenches are still playing very major roles.
Yeah dude we're not that far off.
"It can be carried by a single personnel in both autonomous and manual modes. KARGU can be effectively used against static or moving targets through its real-time image processing capabilities and machine learning algorithms embedded on the platform."
"In 2020 a STM Kargu loaded with explosives detected and attacked LNA forces in Libya with its artificial intelligence without command, according to a report from the United Nations Security Council's Panel of Experts on Libya, published in March 2021. It was considered the first drone attack in history carried out by the UAVs on their own initiative."

Germany has elections next week. Olaf Scholz is in serious trouble, and the German economy is tanking due to high energy prices and competition from China.

Germany’s economy has gone from engine to anchor. Here’s what the next chancellor faces.
Revitalizing growth in Germany’s economy, which appears increasingly mired in stagnation, will demand urgent action from the next chancellor.

I guess we'll see how big of a win the CDU/CSU can pull off and just how popular the Nazis, sorry...'AfD', actually are nowadays.
Article from Foreign Affairs. The biggest takeaway was on the German debt brake: a constitutional change to the debt brake will require centrist parties to organize a two-thirds majority in the Bundestag.
In Germany, the Center Can Hold
But only a grand coalition can foster stability and fend off the far right.
I don’t think it would be exceptionally difficult to harden internal drone systems against microwave transmissions. While I can’t verify the accuracy of the story, some are claiming that the Ukrainians are using tin foil to guard against Russian systems.
That's....simplistic, and not quite right.
Actually they were using bits of “foil” space blankets but…if you need help from an old History major, here is some science for you.
“Reflective materials such as aluminum stop microwaves by reflecting the electric part of the wave, while absorptive materials like conductive foam or rubber absorb the magnetic energy of the radiation.”
