AI can make high-consequence training and mission rehearsals far less dangerous and less expensive than traditional force-on-force or live-fire training. It can also cut the time needed to develop new training scenarios.

Raytheon has already inserted artificial intelligence into current training programs, including the U.S. Army Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Germany.

Photos posted on Twitter on Sep. 5 also appear to show as two Kremlin’s new Armata tanks with the caption ‘target’.

The T-14 Armata is a next-generation Russian main battle tank based on the Armata Universal Combat Platform—the first series-produced next-generation tank. The Russian Army initially planned to acquire 2,300 T-14s between 2015 and 2020, but currently, the acquisition program has been suspended.
