This reminds me of WWI dogfights. Slow, clumsy, inaccurate. Give it twenty more years and these things will be death machines
20?
I’d say the US has them.
We have flamethrower robo-dogs already.
I’d say the US has them.
Wouldn’t be surprised. Probably being a little too slavish to my analogy with the figure
I was thinking for now you need a ptz gun with a separate human controller from the human flight controller.

Well, Pan and Tilt, maybe not Zoom.
But potential modification: have a detachable PT turret, and just use this drone to drop the turret off. Now you’ve got the ability to do things like cut off roads by dropping one of these aimed behind along them or seal off bunkers by dropping one aimed at its door.
Lol, all guns have zoom
Short of full on AI controlled, I imagine in the near future we’ll see AI handling the target tracking and shooting once aquired and a human will authorize the targets.
Once they are completely autonomous with no man in loop, the scalability is limitless. We already see INS on stormshadows where they can fly to their target with complete loss of contact.
Scary stuff when they’re unhackable
I think that’s partially why even though they can, they still require a human to make the kill decision.
Once the drone makes the decision itself it’s a whole other game.
Handles recoil better than I would have expected…
/c/noncredibledefence is leaking
Looks like it’s more about demoralization, than actually hitting anything.
Still good, especially for distraction. I’d say make them look up and keep an eye on the drones while the rest of the battalion sneaks up to their position.
Is it just firing blindly? I can’t make out anything that doesn’t resemble something I’d see in the distance in Minecraft.

how do they control these? I imagine each drone doesn’t come with its own remote
Well if it’s anything like radiomaster controllers, you can program certain buttons to do whatever you’d like. I’m assuming pulling a trigger for a gun is possible.
I Think a lot of these drones are consumer based drones so yeah they often do come with their own hardware to control it. Though I imagine the Ukrainians are hacking the drones somewhat to rewrite things to shoot them.
I’ve also seen simple tech like the steam deck get used which is interesting.
Seems not to be the most efficient weapon. 30 rounds fired without accurate aiming…
However I do applaud the ingenuity and skill involved in the making of this.
And maybe just maybe my keyboard warrior ass is plain wrong about the feasibility.
