I'd love it if Ukraine had some AI hunter killer drones programmed to only attack targets looking like Putin.

Maybe one day.

Take out the root cause of the war.

Some interesting stuff in the Times today (behind a paywall):
- Mark Galeotti article on the recent Ukrainian drone attack: how it highlights the weaknesses in Russia’s defence; the lack of options for Putin to respond ( whilst unwelcome, Russia’s extensive drone attacks are just more of the same); Ukraine clearly winning the espionage war ( assassinations, sabotage etc - none of which seems to happen in Ukraine)

- How drones changed modern warfare and how they are likely to evolve - and countermeasures

- Matthew Syed article about Russia’s UK ambassador claiming that the UK is uniquely implicated in the Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia- apparently UK provided significant targeting support to Ukraine and as a consequence the UK should be prepared for significant retaliation, possibly a massive cyber attack
