Here how it's supposed to work.... "I'll show you the model in action, complete with variable inputs, generation of data, code, timelines of code development, records of compute server deployment (if they were required), records of bugs in the code that had to be fixed, etc. I'll also explain to you, from a 50,000 ft perspective, how the model works, how each variable input affects the results, and how the model closely reflects that of currently available research." Then you collect actual data, like temperature and CO2 , for a period of time. and "Then you can decide for yourself whether I know WTF I'm doing", where ":you" is me. war news in another post.

Ukraine Situation Report: Possible Tu-141 Strike Deep In Russia Shows Repurposed Warhead Story by Howard Altman • Yesterday 6:48 PM Ukrainian officials have promised not to use weapons supplied by the west to attack inside Russian borders. But they’ve never made any such assertions about their own weapons, one of which apparently exploded Monday near the city of Kaluga some 200 miles northeast of the border and 100 miles southwest of Moscow. Ukraine Situation Report: Possible Tu-141 Strike Deep In Russia Shows Repurposed Warhead© via Twitter “It was established that at five in the morning in a forest near the city, a drone exploded in the air at a height of 50 meters,” Vladislav Shapsha, governor of Kaluga Oblast, reported Monday on his Telegram channel. “There is no damage to civil and social facilities. There were no casualties. Representatives of law enforcement agencies are working on the spot.” The drone was a Tu-141, a converted Soviet-era jet surveillance drone on its way to attack an unnamed nearby military facility, the Russian media outlet Mash claimed on its Telegram channel. “A Ukrainian UAV crashed today in Kaluga simply because it caught on a tree branch,” according to Mash. “According to our information, it was a Soviet-era Tu-141 Strizh UAV. To one of the military facilities in the region, [it] carried high-explosive fragmentation ammunition OFAB-100-120. After the explosion of this bomb, a five-meter funnel is formed, and the fragments scatter within a radius of one hundred meters.” While we could not independently confirm the Mash assessment about the Tu-141, the Russian Defense Ministry and Ukrainian officials say Ukraine has used those drones as a strike weapon before. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) - and a Ukrainian official cited by The New York Times - claimed the drones were used in December attacks on the Engels and Dyagilevo air bases that reportedly damaged some Russian aircraft and injured personnel. We were the first to report on these improvised weapons last March, when one of them landed in Croatia in a bizarre incident. Ukraine converted the cruise missile-like drones into strike weapons by adding a warhead. You can read more about that here. The Tu-141 that exploded near Kaluga apparently offered the first glimpse of what one of those warheads looks like. It appears to be a OFAB-100-120 100kg high-explosive bomb — a relatively common air-to-ground munition. Meanwhile, the Shaykovka Air Base in the oblast, about 140 miles north of the Ukrainian border and about 170 miles southwest of Moscow, was the scene of an Oct. 7 Ukrainian suicide drone attack, according to Russian media and Ukrainian intelligence officials. As with today’s attack, Shapsha, the oblast governor, said there was no damage at the time. The base is home to Russian Tu-22M Backfire bombers from the 52nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment. While none of these strikes inside Russia appear to have yet caused major damage, Ukraine will no doubt continue to try to find ways to strike deep across the border. Before we head into the latest news from Ukraine, The War Zone readers can get caught up with our previous rolling coverage here. The Latest When asked if the embattled city of Bakhmut, in Donetsk Oblast, would fall and whether that would affect the course of the war, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby on Monday declined to prognosticate. “The last thing I'm going to do is predict the success or failure of any particular operation,” Kirby told reporters, including from The War Zone, during a Monday afternoon briefing. “There is intense fighting at that moment, as there has been for much of the last several weeks. Ukrainians are still fighting hard for Bakhmut." The battle for Bakhmut remains intense. (AP Photo/LIBKOS, File) "You heard President Zelensky talk in pretty stirring language over the weekend about the importance of the fight there and how much more they're going to continue to battle for [it]," said Kirby. "But I'm not going to get into predicting success or failure one way or the other.” Kirby pointed to Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner mercenary group, as the forcing driving Moscow’s efforts in Bakhmut. “Mr. Prigozhin seems to be the most interested in taking Bakhmut,” Kirby said. “We think it's because of selfish personal gain, not only to improve his elevated status within the Kremlin hierarchy, but also because there are gypsum mines there and he might have some economic gains to be made by taking that route and he's not afraid to throw convict after convict into the fight.” Here are some key takeaways from the latest Institute for the Study of War Assessment. msn.com
