Eric Schmidt: US Army should swap tanks for AI drones
Briefly

Eric Schmidt argues that the U.S. Army should replace 'useless' tanks with AI-powered drones, highlighting the cost-effectiveness demonstrated in recent conflicts like Ukraine.
He stated, 'A $5,000 drone can destroy a $5 million tank,' illustrating how modern warfare increasingly favors cheaper, more adaptable technologies over traditional armored vehicles.
Schmidt's startup, White Stork, aims to develop low-cost, AI-driven drones to assist Ukraine's war effort and operates effectively in environments with GPS jamming.
The significant loss of tanks in Ukraine suggests a potential shift in military strategy, with experts questioning the future role of traditional battle tanks in warfare.
