Ok I can confirm this is actual combat footage of a Russian "Terminator" vehicle near Kremennaya.
What you're looking at is twin 30 mm autocannons firing about 800 rounds per minute.

That goes for all weapons.
Most of the required parts are already produced by existing production lines anyhow, all it'd take is some final assembly.

It all comes down to testing and training the users.
SpecOps guys and gals are easy to adopt new tech on.
They tend to have high iqs and know how to improvize if a new product fails in mid battle.
Regular infantry? Forget about it.

Eh... maybe. It's kind of a shit-show tbh. All major militaries are embarassingly bad.
Mostly I'm amazed how slow both sides are to adopt drone technology. Like if I were running things I'd develop a remotely operated hex copter rifle. Like imagine each infantryman commanding three guns which he can maneuver at the speed of a jeep and hide behind just about anything. And even if you destroy them he has thousands more waiting in a depot.
We have the tech to make that a reality now, but no one's taking it seriously.

@Eiregoat @Terry @Waerloga its a great idea, but it has to be built. and that means a logistical chain, factories, workers and resources that are being used for other things.

I'm not sure Russia is the posterboy for modernised weaponry...

@Eiregoat
US has advanced weapons, but they would never waste it on Ukraine.
Ukraine is literally being sacrificed in the name of advancing NATO agenda.
That said, a little birdie tells me that aircraft and propelled weapons supremacy belongs to Russia.

@Terry this is what happens when you focus on modernize your weapons instead of fighting terrorists that you helped create in the middle east

This is the thing though:
- The operators aren't actually that close to the front, so if something goes wrong all that's been lost is some materiel. All the actual experience and knowledge is retained and reused from battle to battle.
- Training is easy, it's basically a video game. Let people play with them in a simulator until they get good at it, pick the best ones to train with the real ones.
I predict this shift in tactics will be roughly equivalent to the shift from cavalry to tanks, or from battleships to aircraft carriers.
