A former Army Ranger who fought in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Ukraine said the fighting in the Eastern European country was much worse than that in those other countries. David Bramlette told The Daily Beast that he had air support, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance when he was in Iraq and Afghanistan.

“The worst day in Afghanistan and Iraq is a great day in Ukraine,” he said.

    I wonder if we could use data from satellites and develop an AI program to extrapolate where possible mines might be placed based on previously found mine locations using video and geo-spatial data along with real-time verification to improve modeling.

    Or would that be too practical and not make enough money?

      Aaah, the occasional AI bro.

      The problem isn’t knowing roughly where mines could be, people are good at that and you don’t need an AI for this. The problem is knowing precisely where mines are, which is something AIs won’t help with.

        Imagine being the grad student who has to go out and collect real training data because your advisor thought it might be interesting

        This.

        Even if some AI or algorithm could tell you that a certain area was less likely to be heavily mined, then what would prevent the opposing force from using similar tools to also identify the weak points?

      It’s easy, there are mines everywhere. No need for an AI.
