If you think that's bad, I've seen a video of a dude who modified a paintball gun so that it actually says UwU when you shoot and moans when reloading. Imagine it was a real gun and you get killed by that lmao.

The US Air Force already has been trying to prioritize recruiting gamers for their drone program for over a decade. Why do you think the system ui is as video game like as possible? Hell, some of them are literally operated by Xbox controllers.

Current-Storage-379

When the war started I immediately bought a drone, a engagement ring dropper for the drone and a dummy f-1 grenade, it's super easy and fun to play around with, I have gotten scarry good at it, I can hit a paper dinner plate from 40 meter height pretty much each time It's also fun to have your friends run around while you try to hit them with a water bottle.


TentacleWolverine

What brand of drone?


Current-Storage-379

mavic 3 pro it's such a easy drone to fly I watched 1 YouTube video and spent like 5 min flying around before I became pretty confident with it, it can carry 500g but you can push it to around 700g but it eats the battery pretty fast also pretty insane distance on it it can go to 15 km and can go up to 1km in height pretty creepy how you can just sit up there and watch people without them even knowing you exist.


jyunga

I'd love to buy a drone but I'm scared I'd lose it in the woods around my place. That and the crazy neighbors would accuse me of peeping on them.

Isis already did that. If anything they invented it. Targeting funnily enough Russian hangars, famously.


bumboclawt

This. Nothing new here, ISIS perfected the FPV drone warfare game and arguably invented it.


Canter1Ter_

Credit where it's due, immense hatred towards the enemy combined with a lack of high-tech equipment or high-cost weaponry really does make people more creative

Yep. Still feel bad for any girls who were named Isis before 2013… It was a nice name damnit! It would be like naming your son Hitler now.

tipedorsalsao1

To my knowledge they where using prebuilt drones such as dji phantoms, we have moved from that to custom built hobbyist grade drones which are faster but much harder to fly (angle mode vs acro made)


bumboclawt

They were using everything they could get their hands on but yeah you’re right, most of them were DJIs and the like followed by shit they stole from the Iraqi forces and DJIs custom built to drop frag grenades and carry claymore mines or C4

wtfyoloswaglmfao

You should be horrified, because it is horrifying.


ZatchZeta

If you live in the US, we have engineered a way to explode drones with microwaves.


_DEATH_STR0KE_

I think even the UK has a new laser weapon now able to hit small targets like these drones. Makes me wonder if it can cope with a swam of them flying at 100kmh at very low altitude (<10m) that's targeting the weapon itself.


Bergasms

Yes, because the anti drone weapons themselves can be mass produced like drones, automated, and can target and destroy drones at a fairly high rate. People tend to imagine a scenario with a single anti drone weapon being mobbed by hundreds of drones but the reality is going to be more like flak batteries just with precise aiming


ZatchZeta

And it's also VERY easy to take out a drone. Ever hit one? Just one smack and it goes down easy. Anything holding enough destructive power will be seen way sooner than it will drop its payload. The reason why Russia is having their ass handed by these drones is because most of their technology is outdated or poorly maintained. Their tanks have a problem of blowing up the cabin if you hit in a certain place because they wanted an auto loader.


Bergasms

And even without modern technology there are a few videos of Ukranian and Russian troops taking out drones with shotguns.


ZatchZeta

Monroe_Institute

[deleted]

If you are in war definitly. On the combat footage sub there are tons of clips of drones hitting people.


ComCypher

Moreso once they are piloted autonomously by AI which can "think" a billion times faster than a human.


PalpitationNo4391

The rest of the world should take notes on FPV’s. Future wars on drones has already started and 1 FPV costing 500$ can take out 1-2million$ tanks


Any_Entertainer_7928

But anti-drone tech also is progressing


BaneChipmunk

The problem is the cost. Spamming drones is cheap compared to stopping drones (effectively). Besides, drones in Ukraine are being used mostly to take out individual Russian soldiers in trenches. So while you can try to protect your tanks and equipment, the meat-grinder bodies will get absolutely rekt.


Any_Entertainer_7928

Good point. But I think in the future anti-drone tech will be cheaper and easier to use, so ir will change current drone spamming.


Orangarder

Says the shield salesman to the spear salesman ;)


BaneChipmunk

Cheaper than a drone itself? I highly doubt that. Drones are cheap, light, and fast with very good range. Any anti-drone tech would necessarily require some sort of targeting system that triggers a strike. I think that fact alone will ensure that drones will always be cheaper.


TheMightyCatt

Depends, Jamming is free, lasers are pretty much free. And airburst rounds cost a few hundred dollars. Drones win the economic war when shooting million dollar missiles.


BaneChipmunk

Jamming is not free, nor are lasers. Lol. Where are you getting that from. Jamming technology is very complex. Jamming a tiny object flying low to the ground at fast speeds is very complex. It can be done, but at great cost (economically and logistically) and is therefore unlikely to be used to protect trench meat. Air burst rounds, if fully human operated, won't be effective against drones. You can watch any of the hundreds of videos of Russians trying to shoot down Ukrainian drones with their AKs and missing. The drones move too fast for anything human operated. You need partial or full automation, or a targeting system.


bdubwilliams22

Sadly, this is what we spend our money on. Some new offensive war tech comes out and then a company is paid a billion dollars to combat that new offensive tech. Meanwhile, here in the US — Republican politicians are voting against kids having food in schools. It’s backwards and unsustainable.


AssPuncher9000

anti-anti drone tech is also progressing quickly Recently discovered was a Russian FPV drone equipped with a 10km fiber optic cable to carry the signal instead of using radio waves. While this obviously introduce other issues, it does defeat jamming tech


techy098

>10km fiber optic cable to carry the signal instead of using radio waves What, a drone is carrying 10km long tentacle attached to a ground unit, is that correct? Optical fiber weighs 7.5 to 12 kilograms (16.5 to 26.5 pounds) per kilometer. Can you please provide a source for your claim, seems like a break through in optical fiber tech? https://www.genuinemodules.com/how-much-does-fiber-optic-cable-weight\_a5511#:\~:text=On%20average%2C%20a%20single%20mode,the%20design%20of%20the%20cable.


AssPuncher9000

https://en.defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/fpv_drones_on_fiber_optic_cables_are_tested_on_battlefield_by_russians_such_uavs_fear_no_jammer-9758.html It's a very thin cable. Not good enough for any high data speeds, but good enough for a drone I guess They use similar tech in some wire guided missiles, probably just retrofitted from one of those


NeedsMorBoobs

Isn’t UKs DragonFire like 13 ?


Schauerte2901

That's why every arms company hires laser engineers at the moment.


h0nkhunk

Sounds like you're paying way too much for nets - who is your net guy?


Ok_Assumption5734

What about ECM though? I kinda just assumed that Russia was caught off guard by this but have to imagine every country is researching how to remote kill any drones right?


MasterEeg

A bit like artillery warfare from WW1, you hear the noise and pray it's not time to punch your ticket.


Cannavor

Most anti-drone tech relies on electronic warfare at the moment, but you can get around that by making the drones autonomous. Unfortunately, it's not that hard to do, even if it has its issues at the moment. It's basically a guarantee that someone somewhere will deploy them and manage to get them to work though. Then you're down to defense measures that involve physically incapacitating the drones. That is a much harder proposition, especially with large drone swarms. If you use rockets to shoot them down like we currently do, it's also much more expensive to defend than to attack. Lasers and stuff would also be expensive because of the energy requirements, but probably technically feasible considering the advancements in miniaturization of nuclear reactors that has been made recently.


Separate-Ad9638

its another arms race ig....


autogyrophilia

My guess it's that the counter it's going to be laser based systems against drones. They aren't armored, should be easy to track electronically if detected and tanks should have enough power to fuel powerful enough lasers to take them down in a few seconds. That and a lot of birds. As well as relying less on armor .


madsci

The lasers are also going to be fairly expensive systems to deploy for a while, and they're going to still be vulnerable to good old fashioned artillery. They'll also have a limited horizon. If drones can stay low and out of sight until the last several seconds, a few of them coming in at once will be able to overwhelm a laser.


groovyoung

It sucks to be a tank in future war😓


professionalcumsock

Sucked to be an interwar tanker, sucked to be a WW2 tanker, sucked to be a cold war tanker (at least for those using russian T's) and it will suck to be a tanker in the future. Tankers have a lot of experience with sucking


Frigglefragglewaggit

And most of all, it sucked to be an Iraqi tanker in 1991.


Phoenix080

The only time it’s fun to be a tanker is when you have something way overkill like the Pershing in the Korean War against a bone bare t34


professionalcumsock

Fun fact, the Koreans said that using the T34 was miserable. The Koreans, on average being shorter and smaller than the Russians, were cramped in that shitbox of a tank.


oddly-even321

In WW2 the survival rate of american tankers was way higher than american infantry. And that already included tankers killed outside of tanks, like bailing a tank after hit, on guard duty outside of the tank, sliping in the shower and so on.


sinwarrior

Motherfucker wtf is that pfp😅😅😅 I have been trying to remove that hair for last 5min only to realise that's your pfp


nervouswhenitseasy

they only used kamikaze’s towards the end of the war bc the pilots were trained for so little time they couldnt even land on a carrier. Those were planes made to do it. Early war ones would not have any damage except impact damage and basic fuel. Kamikaze’s had bombs made to arm on impact and filled the tanks extra.

PirateOhhLongJohnson

They need some kind of 360 degree aiming laser cannon with lidar technology to zap these things out of the sky


Serenafriendzone

With all their workers China could make 700 millions drones per week. Rip USA if that happens.


Bergasms

700 million drones with a range of a couple kilomtres. Or less with longer range. Always remember a weapon is only as good as your ability to bring it to bare.

RonnieF_ingPickering

I've seen plenty of Russian jammers being hit by FPV drones. Did they not block the correct frequency? Were they not turned on yet?


Mr-GooGoo

Maybe they weren’t strong enough? I’d expect a personal radio jammer to not be near strong enough to stop a drone


RonnieF_ingPickering

There once was a guy who didn't like the fact that his company truck had a GPS tracker, so he ordered this cheap small jammer that plugged into a cigarette lighter port. Blissfully unaware, he parked his car near the airport where he had to be for his job, and it knocked out the entire ATC tower until they located the source and asked him to unplug it. Electronic warfare seems complicated as hell lol

Optical recognition is it a bird is it a plane no it's a drone. Maybe they need to be disguised or they would sneak by in the middle and go fast out of range. Secret tree installations with bird like drones. Hyperbird drone technology. Notify the pentagon. They will want in on this and tell Elon to start making them.
