War is changing. According to CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Russian soldiers survive an average of 20 to 30 minutes on the battlefield:
“Our intelligence is consistent with some of the open-source reporting you may have seen in Ukraine: the average life expectancy of a Russian recruit right now, arriving on the battlefield in Ukraine, is estimated to be between 20 and 30 minutes,” the Central Intelligence Agency chief said at the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit on Wednesday.
“That’s because AI-powered drones have have gotten to be such specialized, low-cost killing machines,” he added.
According to the article, Russia is losing 7,000 troops per week, and Ukraine’s President claims that more than 80% of “enemy targets” are being destroyed by drones.
