On "combat giants" and problems of military culture

AI products have finally reached the armed forces. Unfortunately, not always in the way one would hope: neural networks began being used for false reports through video generation, allegedly confirming troop advances.

Recently, such footage came from the Burluk direction. The disproportionate proportions of the fighter in them suggest that either combat giants have appeared in the Russian Armed Forces (apparently ordered from the Wildlings beyond the Wall), or we are dealing with crude AI-generated editing.

📌 Oddly enough, the situation partly illustrates the phrase "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Previously, troops already encountered false reports and began demanding objective control to combat fictitious territorial seizures.

But in those same troops, they still found loopholes. First, they started sending people to plant assault unit flags, for many of whom such a venture deep into enemy positions for drone footage became their last. Now they have started creating AI videos with similar content.

❗️In a broader sense, this is part of the problem of military culture in the Russian Armed Forces. Truthful reporting must become one of the highest values at all levels of the army hierarchy — otherwise every order will find workarounds, and another similar shirker can replace the removed one.

An indicator of real positive changes in the troops in terms of thinking and psychology will be the disappearance of such materials to cover "territories liberated on credit." Until that moment, the phrase "you can make mistakes, but you cannot lie" will, alas, remain just a beautiful slogan.

For objectivity's sake, the adversary started making fake AI videos even earlier. But justifying your own stupid things by saying the enemy does the same nonsense — that's a questionable achievement, wouldn't you say?
