  • The Ukrainian military claims to have shot down a Russian Ka-52 ‘Alligator’ helicopter in Kharkiv region. Ukraine has previously claimed to have used the Piorun to take out Russian Su-24 & Su-25 aircraft, as well as a Mi-24 helicopter. Poland delivered the Piorun MANPADS to Ukraine just weeks before Russia’s February 24 invasion.

    Without Poland's help, Ukraine would now be Russian. Recall - Poland is: The main hub for the transport of weapons to Ukraine (Rzeszów airport and ground infrastructure), the supply of Polish weapons (over 300 heavy vehicles - including 240 tanks), the supply of automatic weapons (MSBS Grot), anti-aircraft launchers (Piorun), hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition (155mm, 7.62mm, 5.56mm, 120mm, etc.), fuel transports, hundreds of thousands of tons of food, medicine, and most of all - providing shelter to over 2-3 million Ukrainian children and women. Without Poland, this war would have been lost long ago.

    The massive advantage the Piorun has, is it's capability of targeting very low flying targets (10m).

    There is one more thing - Piorun uses simple AI which can differentiate between original target and flares shot targeted plane.

    • @Beneficiis
      @Beneficiis 2 роки тому +6

      No. AI on any current weapon is just a marketing term. There is no AI. Just algorithm.
      For Piorun, basically it records the signature of target during targeting and cuts off tracking of other heat signatures that don't match the profile recorded when missile was launched. This is possible since it converts all signals to digital form, unlike stinger/igla ect. When you have something in digital form, it is possible to process data and feed back processed version to missile itself. It also makes the missile itself programmable. It opens up interesting possibilities for future as well. If this would be scaled up to larger missiles and include some sort of data link - then you could get lock on after launch capabilities, which could be combined with networked sensors and predictive algorithms to fire at approaching targets outside effective range of the missile and it's own seeker. Though piorun's seeker can already see like 12km, so twice it's range... so on current MANPADS it would've been useless and expensive to try such solutions. But if scaled up version would appear with longer range then it might be more worthwhile.

      a) Piorun uses an AI data but then there would be network needed to output images of target to the backend data to say yes if it's target no if it's a flare

      It's definitely not AI.
      Just simple code made out of logic loops that get data from sensor. And yeah, it does have CPU & memory to run that... obviously. Running that one process entire time if launcher is turned on or rocket is in flight.
      It looks at thermal signature, takes snapshot before it's fired, then constantly filters out "new" signatures from it's targeting data, going only after one it "saw" during launch.
      There is no machine learning involved. Probably couple thousand lines of code only that tell it how to filter out "noise" which includes strong thermal signatures such as flares.
      Larger modern heat seeking missile used on jets also have that. It's not flawless, but it works more often than not.

    I think German policies towards Russia were defendable until 2008. There is however certainly no way to justify Germany's positions and actions since 2014, with the most glaring example being signing North Stream 2 in 2015 against outspoken opposition from most if not all eastern partners. And it is true that Germany is pretty selective in application of their historic responsibilities. There is a lot of relativity strangely well aligned with economic interests there.
    In 1990 I believed we would be able to closely integrate all of Europe including Russia (that has its economic base and most of the population in Europe) and dissolve Nato within 20 years. I was wrong. In hindsight there was never really any interest in Russian elites (defined by power, there certainly was in their intellectual elites, but a good part of them just left) to modernize and liberate Russia. They recognized pretty much the moment the Sowjet Union collapsed that it was a chance to make it a pure oligarchy after having had to do all the ideological window dressing for so long. A good outcome was never really an option.

    What I do know is that when Stinger's started showing up the numbers of aircraft brought down per day started going up to where they were more than those brought down in the first week not long afterward. Whether this was Stinger or some other reason, again, who knows.
    I also know that when Javelin started appearing the numbers of tanks cooked/day seemed to go way up. Hopefully eventually they will go back down, because there won't be many to kill.
    I don't really care which one is better, as long as they are all bringing down those damned Russians, preferably in a flaming mass.

Leaving production capacity issues aside, Poland is simply too close to a frontline. One hit by a cheap rocket from Russia and the whole factory is out. US is deep rear, it is a huge asset to whole NATO and it better be nurtured.

    Why does this channel do a video when all it has it stock photos? Posting previous pictures or listing the number of downed this or that is, really, old new just re-hashed.

    I note that every nation that is either directly or tangentially involved in this war is taking the opportunity to shamelessly advertise to supposed advantages of the weapon systems which they manufacture. Even if you are engaged in a war of principle and self defense,. why not make some money along the way?
