Combat drone to compete against piloted plane:
The US Air Force will pit an advanced autonomous aircraft against a piloted plane in a challenge set for July 2021.
The project could eventually lead to unpiloted fighter aircraft that use artificial intelligence (AI).
Lt Gen Jack Shanahan, head of the Pentagon's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, called the test a "bold, bold idea".
Air Force Magazine also described the development of autonomous fighter jets as a "big Moonshot" for the military.
[...] When announced in 2018, the project envisioned the development of an unpiloted fighter jet.
Asked by Air Force Magazine whether this was still the objective, Lt Gen Shanahan said he did not know but added that AI-enabled systems could be used in other ways.
"Maybe I shouldn't be thinking about a 65ft-wingspan, maybe it is a small autonomous swarming capability," he explained.
Such swarms of drone aircraft could be deployed under a pilot's control or operate autonomously. A US military project called Skyborg will explore how the pilot of a fighter jet could control other drone aircraft - which would act as airborne sidekicks.

War isn't meant to be terrible, unless you mean for the other side.
It's meant to break *their* ability and will to fight.

It's all fun and games until the Red Army starts liberating your concentration camps.

The Red Army almost broke the ability and will of its own soldiers to fight.
That's why the commanders led their grunts from the rear with rifles aimed at their backs. For encouragement.

What is wrong with Nazis that makes war so appealing to them?

This is the International Jew version of events. You know, the people who wrote/approved your school books and decide what you see on TV?
Remember kids, Kevin James and the Jews who control hollywood say you're a literal "Nazi" (Jew slur for NSDAP meaning "bumkin, yokel, hillbilly etc. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/the-origin-of-the-term-nazi.html)" [warhistoryonline.com] if you don't purposely breed your race out of existence: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10314450/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_3 [imdb.com]
Hitler tried repeatedly to avoid war (watch Last Appeal to Reason doc on TPB) Yes, going to war on multiple fronts was based on strategy, but as the best option they had available to possibly defend themselves against certain invasion, not out of hubris, as the history is written.
The blame for WW2 is on the Goy slave states(allies) who forced the war to put a independent (weeding out bankster scum and treasonous subversives who had already declared war on Germany and sabotaged her in WW1. See Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told on TPB) and thriving Germany back in her place and kill as many Aryans as possible.

Which in this case, happens to agree with the real world version of events. Nazi Germany did get its ass kicked so hard that it'll be in the history books long after everyone involved dies.
Sounds like your "race" isn't worth shit.
He annexed Austria, western Czechoslovakia, and then invaded Poland with the flimsiest of pretexts (faking attacks on a radio station), partitioning Poland with Russia. He then invaded a couple dozen more countries from France through the Balkans. Actions speak louder than your sorry excuses.
Not even wrong.

Good to know. I'll keep using it.
