It’s already being done and a ton of companies are offering it as a service.

Main thing is the development cycle. Large games can take 5+ years. So to see something at this level of ai for a large scale game maybe 5 years. But you will already be seeing them in small and indie games. Additionally the transformer and chat gtp have already been out a wild(we are on version 4) so it probably won’t take 5+ years.

I literally stated they would have to fight their way through the mountainous of Azerbaijan while their supply routes would pass through the unstable caucus regions. So yes I have considered that, and it’s also an awful option.

Good look transporting Russians through Dagestan with supplies to then fight with Azerbaijan dug into the mountains.

And their Armenia bases are small and not fully staffed, they couldn’t handle a defense alone and don’t have the ability to feed or support a large force.

Your right about Turkey tho, that is also a big thing preventing Russia from ever acting

I do agree Russia is trying to force them to join, but outside of the nuclear shield and mass infantry they can’t really do much else.

Even if Azerbaijan isn’t Ukraine that doesn’t ignore logistics. Azerbaijan had roughly 126,000 military personnel, 300k reserves and 3M available conscripts, they have been prepping and training for war, and have mountainous geography.

For Russia to win they would need to either fight their way through Georgia to get to Armenia, convoy them through the Black Sea avoiding Ukrainian drones and using up their limited naval infrastructures, or would have to attack and fight their way through the mountainous terrain of Azerbaijan itself, with their supply lines going through their own internal caucus region which is full of hotspots.

And they have to do this at scale. The military personal to get their and hold off a full Azerbaijan assault would number in the 10s to 100s of thousands as Armenia has a population of 1/3 Azerbaijans and thus doesn’t have a similiar size military. Men who would need fed, clothed, supplied, trained, transported, ect… and all the people supporting them need it to.

If Armenia got fully annexed by Russia, Russia could probably either through enough meat at Azerbaijan to get it doneX or threaten with WMDs. But outside of that Russia is really weak right now.

They can hardly operating right next to their border…

And yet no mass protests, and most Russians seem more sorry they are loosing then about what they are doing
