These drone wolf packs are designed for urban combat and help Chinese soldiers clear areas without risking themselves. I think I read something about a Torment Nexus in there too…
Shotguns are cheap and it’s easy to reload shells. So many versatile DIY loads for all uses. Oh my bad wrong sublemmy. Whoops.
I did not expect to be living in the Zoids universe, but here we are.
Yay, new technology for turning humans into body parts.
I’m sure we, as a species, will use this technology responsibly…
Yeah… I don’t like this.
I don’t like the Boston dynamics dog, and I definitely don’t like this one.
Can’t wait to be chased by one of these puppies on my way to steal some insulin.
Why would you choose to need insulin? If you were more moral you wouldn’t need a crutch like that. It’s all God’s plan. If you got free medicine, what motivation would you have to work?
(Did I miss any empty dismissals?)
We’ve now achieved Black Mirror. When do we get Terminator?
Mom, I need to wash my car and the carwash is 50 yards away. Should I walk or drive?
Why would we need terminator?
Our leaders are obsessed with going AI companies whatever they want. Skynet will face zero opposition and historic funding.
Why is no one making any anti-drone, drones… A drone designed ro sneak up on other drones and emp, or electrocute it… Or just grab it and chain it somewhere… Shoot a nail through it’s foot or something.
Ukraine is doing that. They have anti-drone drones called Sting
No emp because when it comes to drone warfare cost effectiveness is imperative. No use using a multi thousand dollar drone to down one that is a fraction of that cost.
Russia is pretty much doing the same as well. I just watched a video this past week of a drone of theirs skewering a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone with metal rods until the recon drone caught fire and crashed. The Ukraine war is definitely the cutting edge for drone combat.
It’s called the Metal Gear Mk. II and it’s actually remote controlled using a ps3 controller
FPV drones are anti-everything that moves drones.
no one making any anti-drone, drones
Everyone is making these now
Drones aren’t very evasive. Most just fly a set pattern. So yes, you could easily down one with another drone, if you are able to notice it, catch up to it, hit it, and successfully down it. But to effectively do that, you need significantly more anti-drones than drones.
More effective is probably lasers or masers from a ground station. It’s a lot easier to hit a drone when your weapon moves at the speed of light. But that still means you need to notice and target it. And with a ground station, you can only counter stuff in the local area.
I think drones are effective when they are small and cheap, or when they’re essentially guided bombs.
Big stuff like this is like asking for a reminder on why humans are the apex predators on this planet.
Tell you what, I’m going to start bringing an ultra powerful magnet anywhere I go when these things are live, I’ll be damned if I’m going to be killed by someone’s fucking robot security dog, I’ll brick every one I can.
soldiers clear areas
Probably meaning: no humans alive afterwards 🥶
I mean they look cool, but this doesn’t really seem useful? I mean in police operations they might see some use or extremely short and very well supplied missions.
