The Twenty Minute VC (20VC): Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
20VC: The Future of War: Are We Ready & What Needs to Be Done | China, Russia and Trump: What Happens Now | Raising $828M to Build the Defence Champion of Europe | Torsten Reil, Co-Founder @ Helsing

The new wave was electric software and autonomy.

Why is that such a challenge? We're going to be faced with a large number of autonomous systems from our adversaries. That's going to be the focus that they're going to take. And by the way, it's quite likely that they won't have the same ethical red lines that we as democratic societies should have.

So they have, from a functionality point of view, I think they'll have the ability to take shortcuts that we don't want to take. We have to earn the luxury basically to be able to really care about ethics. And that means that we have to have technology leadership overall.

Yeah, I think so. I mean, they're quite clear for everyone to see. Iran is producing a large number of drones already. They've been using and working on the Shahid, for example, for a long time. They've licensed that design to Russia. Russia is now manufacturing it itself. Software is getting better over time.

Russia has the Lancet, which is a capable strike drone, quite different from the Shahid, which I think they've developed themselves. And the software for all of these is getting better as well.

We're going to be faced either through Russia alone or through partners like Iran with adversaries that are committing to precise mass, large number of autonomous systems that we're going to have to counter one way or the other. And you can counter them, But you can't counter them with the current systems that we have.

You can't just have exquisite systems like tanks or artillery guns that are not particularly well connected, that take a while to take a shot. You need to work basically at the speed of software. You need to interconnect all of these systems. But crucially, you need to have precise mass on your own side as well.
