NEW Rocket Drone Changes EVERYTHING 

I appreciate that!

its bullshit.

The nose on that drone seems to have come from an AGM-65 Maverick. Why’s reinvent the wheel?😉

But can existing loitering munitions return to base and refuel, if they're not expended?

@@JamieSteam No, but that doesn't seem like a practical ability that would actually ever be used in reality and in actual combat. There are reasons for why bombers and attackers get rid of any unused bombs before landing again. Every military air base has a dedicated area where they can be dropped before landing. You don't want your own bombs coming back to you and blow up you or your infrastructure in case something goes wrong during a landing.

⁠@@TrangleCIf Congress can get donations for their reelection, from the DoD companies, it’ll get built. It is the BIG donors that take us to war, and the politicians listen to them…..not the voters. A jet powered drone is a lot faster than a propeller driven one. Difficult to detect, “cheap” to make. Since when Congress cares about taxpayers money being spent? The purpose of Congress is not to make laws but to spend money, pragmatically speaking. The war in Ukraine was started by the USA/E.U. The Minsk Agreements were a LIE to delay and prepare Ukraine for war against Russia……while blaming Russia. Lots of money to be made. Still waiting for that Ukrainian Spring Offensive, bifurcating East Ukraine. Russia’s land expands all the way to the Kamchatka Peninsula, northeast of Japan. It encompasses about twice the size of continental USA…..and the globalists want every square inch of it. Ask Blackr*ck. Just that pesky Putin obstacle in the way. Take the red pill, people

Thanks!

Thanks! For sure, definitely interesting times.

Add an AGM-65 Maverick nose cone to it.

This is a great idea. The Ukraine conflict has so many parallels with WWI static trench warfare. The answer was the creeping barrage with infantry following as close as possible. Of course the tank later would be used to cross difficult terrain and overwhelm strong points. The biggest obstacle seems to be minefields in Ukraine. Carriers with thousands of small guided munitions could be used to clear a path through a minefield, create an adaptable creeping barrage, and target strong points. Of course there is no difficult terrain in the air, and the drones could also be adapted as a counterdrone shield. These carriers would ideally be simple, cheap, easy to mass produce. To overwhelm Russian defenses thousands of carriers and millions of deployable drone munitions would be required.

I have already seen footage of F-16s (maybe F-15s?) dropping hundreds of small drones from a dispenser that is mounted under the wing of the fighter jet. The video then went on to show the flight formations of the drones. The giant swarm moved from one Waypoint to the next, then went into a loiter-circle flight pattern, and back to a Waypoint.

@@Inertia888 Problem is the aircraft is currently expensive and requires a pilot who is expensive and time consuming to train. I imagine drone pilots can be trained quickly and cheaply. You need thousands of the carriers, just like the thousand bomber raids of WWII.

I think there is so much future and money in drones that at least a few companies will be working on just such a drone as you suggest, would make sense to have a reusable super fast auto return to base carrier drone. And yeah it could drop dozens or even hundred of cheap disposable drones that use AI to seek and destroy set targets like they could recognise tanks, APC' and even people. Imagine hundreds of the deadly drones, almost silent, the side of a sausage, it can seek humans out, go in through open windows or into bunkers and then get right up to a face before detonating. They could also target specific parts that are 'soft'. Then when the world sees how effective they are every country starts making them by the millions. Heck Elon and America could have them in space, so they drop out of space at hypersonic speeds above and area, then suddenly slow down and release a could of thousands behind enemy lines, it would be devastating. Eventually terrorists will get a hold of them and do something evil like set them off at a place for of civilians. There will be attempts to make anti drone tech, like those jammer vans etc, but with AI learning the drones will not need an operator and will be able to hunt by sight, even at night using night vision and thermals. If fact there could be long range silent glider drones that use sonar like a bat to see. The drones could maybe share intel and tactics with each other, like they are told to enter buildings and kill occupants inside, one drone is sacrificed to blow the window out, another a door, another another door, sending intel back the whole time until they seek and destroy and clear a building. All of these weapons will be made by robots in vast factories churning out thousands a day, the future of warfare will get a whole lot more brutal.

If armed drones aren't regulated by treaty, *very* soon, we'll get the apocalypse we avoided with nukes and no one will even see it coming. They are definitely a WMD. Wait till a surreptitious import strike of half a million AI driven attack drones. Come out at night like bats and near silently mine or plant demolitions. China for instance, could already have something like this in place. How many shipping containers sitting at Chinese owned ports, would it take? Right now, people are still using drones like a brick through a window. Wait till the tactics catch up with the tech.

They start with alphanumeric nomenclature. But the human mind remembers better by association. The A-10 official name is Thunderbolt II. But for pilots, ground crew, specially soldiers on the ground, they call it the Warthog

I suspect Lockheed has more sophisticated thruster interceptor drones today.

Did not know that, incredible.

Better expect a little less. I will say Andruil just wishes to become like those defense contractor he's criticizing now. Also, most of Andruil products look like Irani or Chinese drones, and I bet that's what they are inspired from (aka rip off). The AI selling point he's talking about isn't anything new, being done by everyone for quite a while now.

Politicians approve $ to the DoD. They “give” it to the companies, build the weapons, go to war, use them, make more. Donate the proceeds to the politicians that approved the budget. Repeat. Many, if not all of those politicians, invest $….on those DoD companies. As Smedley Butler, a 2 Medal of Honor winner said n his book, “war is a racket”.

Drives me up the wall, as well. But as far as the distinction goes, it's not RC vs Not RC. It's direct control vs fly-by-wire.

An electronic device that travels under its own power autonomously is a drone Edit: without a human inside

@@David_Mash No. Something that pilots itself is a drone.

probably takes forever to make as well. jet engine not exactly fast to make.

Hah, thanks for stopping by!

Thanks!

AGREE, all that idiotic VOICES of robots, telling us lies, crap & fantasy nonsense...!

They don't make the AI. They only report about it. Such a stupid thing to say.

@@csdigitaldesign even if they only report, they still seem responsible for dispatching lies and unverified opinions to a mostly ignorant, (so believing everything being true) public. Are you aware that 82,6% of population find most digital designers intoleant to common sense and rather stupid? Surprised?

Yeah, square earth believers slogan 😂😂

I thought about making a RU-vid channel, and I don’t have a very pleasant sounding voice so I did think about AI. Make it British sounding too 😂

Thanks for feedback! I write the scripts and double/triple check sources but the Duxion Ejet was overly optimistic.

​@@Tech_Planet Would the engines work in space?

I read somewhere that Ukranians are building 1Xuse drones of cardboard. Anything new on that and how can it compare with Roadrunner. What Roadrunner needs is a death laser to kill other drones and still come back home. !
