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.
Because there were no wars with extensive trench warfare after WW2. It was always insurgents vs regular military, or insurgents vs other insurgents. Now there is regular military on both sides, and they had 1.5 years to dig fortifications and cover every flat piece of land with mines and tripwires.
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?
