Russia painted their warships to look like houses to fool Ukraine’s computer vision targeting.
No, painting a Russian warship to look like a waterfront apartment building does not fool the AI-guided drones Ukraine is actually using.
I hope you’re sitting down… Russia has disguised two Baltic Fleet corvettes with painted windows, walls, and building features, following earlier attempts at zebra-striped trucks and darkened ship hulls; to be fair, the underlying science of fooling machine vision with adversarial patterns is real. It just doesn’t work here.
I break down why modern battlefield AI, built on tracking, multiple sensor angles, and constant retraining on exactly this kind of camouflage, is a much harder target to fool than the viral adversarial-AI demos people see online.
