| [Twitter thread - follow down] RUSI had reported every Ukrainian front line platoon in the war has a quadcopter drone working for it. At 5km of front per platoon & 2,500km of front, that is 500 DJI Mavic or better drones doing photo intelligence for the AFU daily. That is 1000 times the video intel density of any previous war. For instance, I don't know of any other military in the world using artificial intelligence with organic overhead photographic intelligence assets (quadcopters) to locate artillery targets at platoon level. And they are using it to conserve precious artillery ammo. This cycle of field work and analysis can be exhausting. "For a week we'll sleep just two hours," Lego said. "We'll fly till 7 p.m., then go to the base, and then analyze 3,500 photos from the flights."" We are talking about 3500 photos a day for a very small 5 km section of the Ukrainian front. For the scale of the AFU daily photo intel effort, now multiply that by 500 platoons across the whole front. That is 1,750,000 photos of RuAF front line positions _EVERY DAY_ Photos that have first level analysis by artificial intelligence looking for square/man made objects, or day to day differences, to alert photo analysts to examine more closely. The 1.75 million photos a day are the photo intelligence grist for the Ukrainian GUR mill ..to grind out Russian battle damage assessment/casualties with. That granular level of photo intel detail is the grist for the GUR mill that grinds out well and exceedingly fine. There are a lot of other implications that fall out from this AFU photo intel at retail levels. 1st the demolition of the delusions of superiority that many Western ground force officers have over AFU. When was the last time they went to a battalion level FTX... ..and had nine quadcopter intelligence teams on their table of organization deliver 31,500 AI curated photos of the opposing force's field positions to them to support their operations? Ukraine's Army has been fighting that kind of war for the last 5 months, minimum. |

| #3 Effective FMV is sent to ground stations and analysed in real-time. This permits near instantaneous bomb damage assessment (BDA) and "dynamic re-tasking" as necessary. Not a new concept. |
