So the superior Russian army destroying the ill trained Ukrainians is not the same thing? Interesting…

Once again, it depends on where the tanks are deployed and what training the crews have. We do not know if these weapons were deployed and used in the same way. Unless you know this, you can’t really say.

Each tank has their advantages, but if you’re going to have an army use a tank with little to no training or spare parts, the T-72 is definitely a no brainer.

Once again, it depends on how their are used, deployed, and how the crews are trained. The Ukraine may be using them in ways that they were not designed, or using tactics that put the tank in a bad position.

For the same reason they have sent billions of dollars there…to show their support. This isn’t the first country that the US has provided equipment for with little or no training…or without critical equipment onboard (i.e. specialized RADAR or electronics systems)

There could be many reasons. I don’t know where they are deploying them, how much training the crews have had and many others that factor into survivability. I’m not saying the Abrams is the best tank ever, just saying that there are many factors that can contribute to why they aren’t doing well in the field for the Ukraine.

There a lot of factors in to why the Abrams isn’t doing as well in Ukraine. Like the article stated, drone attacks are a new threat that no older tank was designed for. Then there is the lack of training. The US has trained a lot with these tanks and know their weaknesses and develop their tactics with this knowledge in mind.

Huh?

I think it’s a no-brainer to say that greed has changed Google from focusing on providing the person searching accurate and relevant results. Which is unfortunate since they are the best in the business as no other search engine is close to what Google has accomplished.

It makes me wonder if AI tools will level the playing field more?

England still has their speed limits in mph and all road signs are in miles and yards…

Looks pretty cool. I always thought the first stage of Spore was too easy and should’ve created a way to earn different abilities based on certain tasks, not just the number of blobs you ate.

Sounds a bit like the NFL’s Hard Knocks. It could be interesting, but like as you said, they could over-dramatize it and ruin it.

The thing that bugs me about Alexa is that I will ask a question and it will answer as it should, but then continues, “By the way, …” and tells me something completely unrelated. I understand they are trying to inform of other features and capabilities, but I don’t want to hear about them and wish I could turn this off.

Very excited for this!

Not a surprise…I’m pretty sure Oli didn’t want him there anyway.
