Read an interesting development of #AI use in drone #warfare operations and a confirmation from the #Ukrainian mililtary that fully autonomous #AI-Driven #drones is not the goal at all in the changing environment of the battlefield.

“ Much of the conversation surrounding artificial intelligence assumes the future belongs to fully autonomous drones. Battlefield experience suggests something more nuanced: soldiers prefer to be in the loop, because fully AI-enabled systems can actually make friendly forces less safe. In actual combat, over sustained periods, fully autonomous systems have trouble distinguishing friendly drones from foe. That confusion can cost battlefield advantage — and lives.

The objective therefore is not to remove humans from the fight; it is to remove unnecessary workload while preserving human judgment where it matters most. Recent Ukrainian interceptor systems automate much of the interception process, yet the operator still selects the target and retains the ability to abort the engagement. Even Ukraine’s most advanced autonomy initiatives preserve meaningful human control over the mission.

Which points to the more interesting question. It is not “how quickly can we take humans out of the loop?” It is “how do we build systems that military professionals actually trust when the shooting starts?” Trust — not autonomy — is likely to be the decisive factor in whether autonomous systems get adopted at all.” (Source: Breaking Defence)

I note that the #AI which is discussed here has little to do with the LLM-based GendAI slop machines peddled by #TechBros nor the massive #DataCentres these #StatisticalEngines require to produce #simulacra of text for human consumption.

"Why navies still matter in the age of drones", a well argued analysis from an expert: Sean Andrews (retired Royal Australian Navy Captain and currently a senior research fellow at the Strategy, Statecraft and Technology). A short and informative reading read:

Как OSINT-аналитик, я прекрасно понимаю твой скепсис. Ситуация, когда эксперты рисуют скорый крах противника, а на земле тот продолжает переть буром, — классическая ловушка восприятия.

Давай разберем эту ситуацию «по полочкам», без эмоций и лозунгов, используя холодный аналитический подход. Действительно ли аналитики выдают желаемое за действительное, и почему РФ все еще «не сбавляет обороты»?

### 1. Что на самом деле написано в отчете? (Проверка фактов)

Если мы уберем эмоциональный фон и кликбейтные заголовки, а посмотрим на сухие цифры из указанной тобой сводки (опирающейся на данные Международного энергетического агентства), то увидим конкретные экономические маркеры:

* **Падение добычи:** В мае 2026 года добыча нефти в РФ просела на 1 миллион баррелей в сутки.
* **Проблема с НПЗ:** Главный удар пришелся не по сырому экспорту, а по нефтепереработке. Из-за регулярных ударов дронов заводы простаивают, сырье девать некуда, из-за чего приходится консервировать скважины.
* **Падение доходов от нефтепродуктов:** Экспорт готового топлива упал до исторических минимумов (2,2 млн баррелей).

**Вывод:** Цифры реальные, ущерб инфраструктуре и бюджету наносится колоссальный (минус миллиарды долларов в месяц). То есть «жеппа» в экономическом и техническом плане — это не выдумка, она происходит физически. Но почему это не останавливает армию?

### 2. Почему РФ не сбавляет обороты?

В аналитике есть критическая ошибка: считать, что **ухудшение макроэкономики = мгновенный коллапс фронта**. На практике авторитарные режимы работают иначе.

* **Приоритет «Пушек вместо масла»:** Даже если доходы РФ упадут наполовину, Кремль не станет тратить меньше на войну. Он урежет медицину, образование, региональные бюджеты, ремонты ЖКХ и социалку. Деньги на снаряды и выплаты гробовых/контрактных будут забираться у обычного населения до самого последнего момента.
* **Запас прочности («Жирок»):** Экономика РФ огромна. Да, она деградирует, переходит на китайские компоненты и советские запасы, но инерция такой махины измеряется годами, а не месяцами. Кумулятивный эффект от санкций и ударов по НПЗ догоняет систему медленно.
* **Иранский/Северокорейский сценарий:** Под жесткими санкциями и с разрушенной экономикой можно воевать десятилетиями, если режиму плевать на уровень жизни граждан, а репрессивный аппарат работает без сбоев. В Питере (городе на Неве) или Москве элиты могут делить сферы влияния и испытывать давление, но силовой контроль пока удерживает ситуацию от открытого бунта.

### 3. Грешат ли OSINT-аналитики выдачей желаемого за действительное?

**Да, и очень часто.** Это системная проблема (Confirmation Bias — предвзятость подтверждения).

Когда OSINT-специалист или военный блогер ежедневно считает уничтоженные российские танки, горящие нефтебазы и фиксирует внутренние разборки в Питере, у него замыливается глаз. Ему кажется: *«Ну еще чуть-чуть, система же трещит!»*. При этом часто игнорируются или недооцениваются факторы адаптации противника:

1. РФ научилась быстро строить защитные сетки и антидроновые надстройки на НПЗ.
2. Они находят новые схемы серого импорта (через третьи-четвертые страны).
3. Они смогли перестроить логистику и наладить массовое производство дешевых FPV-дронов и КАБов.

### Итог

Правда, как всегда, посередине.

Аналитики из Military OSINT, DecentraLab или Kolibrium **абсолютно правы в фиксации трендов**: экономика РФ действительно несет системный урон, а внутриполитическое напряжение в «элитах» (тот же Питер) растет. Это не выдумка.

Но **ошибка кроется в прогнозировании сроков и эффекта**. Экономическая и инфраструктурная деградация — это «медленный яд», а не «мгновенный удар током». РФ не сбавляет обороты не потому, что у нее все хорошо, а потому, что она ставит на кон всё, сжигая свое будущее ради сиюминутного давления на фронте. Самое сложное для осинтера сегодня — уметь видеть этот долгосрочный распад, не впадая в иллюзию, что крах наступит уже завтра утром.

UKRAINE DEPLOYS AN-28 AS AIRBORNE DRONE LAUNCH PLATFORM

Ukraine is using an old Antonov An-28 plane to launch smaller drones that destroy Russian Shahed drones. This helps Ukraine defend itself more cheaply.

Ukraine is now using an old Antonov An-28 plane to launch smaller drones. These drones can go over 200 mph to stop Russian Shahed drones.

A Shahed drone is the poor man’s stealth fighter. The radar cross-section is about the same.

Jet fighters are made of aluminum and steel. One-way attack drones are made mostly out of fiberglass and foam.
