I worked for a hobby store that sold Horizon Hobby merchandise from 2012 to 2017 and it was crazy how much drone tech advanced in that time. It went from practically nothing to almost what we see today in that time frame. The tech in these things nowadays is astonishing.

Yes true. At the same time, seeing military personnel bungee launching or hand launching a foam fixed wing plane (for recon or attack) is something you'd see at most RC fields! Minus the munitions of course but some RC'ers have been known to rig up a servo mechanism to drop water balloons back in the day too. 😁

Yeah War is getting smaller and smaller. The 20th century saw giant military hardware dominate the battlefield-tanks, carriers, bombers. The 21st will likely rely more heavily on small drones and other similar devices in large numbers

@@beyondfossil I first "discovered" modern drones when some neighbor used a DJI to drop firecrackers in my boss's back yard when I was staying over. I heard a bang, looked outside, and called to my boss, "Hey! Check it out! A drone!" and we watched the thing and apparently the operator saw we'd seen it and it sidled off. Pretty funny really.

I have seen so many Ukrainians film their own war crimes with drones. They fly in, drop a grenade, fly back, reload it, over and over for many hours to days attacking the same now unarmed now critically wounded men who are absolutely no longer legal targets under the rule of war. Then they'll continue to bomb their corpses for hours too. It's insane that these Ukrainian drone pilots are not being charged for war crimes. The Hague has attempted to locate 0 of them. I know Russians pretty much INVENTED war crimes, look at Katyn. But Ukrainians are FILMING theirs, should make catching the criminals easy yet nothing comes of it.

@laythefoundation2083 10 ай бұрын

Watching this made me realize 3 things 1. Wars will absolutely be prolonged doing this, tech is easier and cheaper to replace than military aged young men. 2. Ground tactics of advancing and securing an area will probably take longer, since you don't need troops in the area to clear said area 3. I could see armed conflicts ramping up over the next few decades due to the advancement of tech being able to do the job of soilders on the ground making it easier for countries to garner local support since less actual humans have to die to accomplish the same goal

There’s no actual result in war without people getting killed. Don’t be fooled. It’s not gonna be just robots attacking robots. It’s gonna be robots killing robots and people.

But how many times have they shown you another side? 1) interviews of the UNR's German occupation leaders who confessed in 1919 that it was them who chipped away and "created" the Ukraine. 2) declassified documents showing that the United States' CIA had been spending (from 1950s till these days) dozens of billions of American taxpayers' money to send arms, propaganda materials and other resources to the successors and followers of the OUN-UPA Ukrainian terrorists who slaughtered 1+ million innocent Russian, Polish and Jewish women, children and old men -- specifically due to the utter, radical national hatred. 3) CIA confirmed in August 1957 almost all citizens of the UkrSSR don't differentiate themselves from ethnic Russians. 4) Nationalistic Battalions and other Bandera glorificators stated killing Russians and Russian-speaking citizens in then-Ukraine even prior to 2014, and from 2014 onward they started using literally the same methods of torture that Fascists (and OUN-UPA members) were using during the WW2. 5) the US paid for the coup of 2013-2014. 6) Armed forces of the Ukraine have been shelling residential houses and civilian infrastructure in Donbass since 2014. 7) Merkel, Poroshenko, Hollande, Johnson and Zelensky -- all confessed that Minsk agreements were just a hoax, they didn't plan to start implement them, but instead they've been spending the money to deliver lethal weapons onto the territory of the Ukraine. 8) USAID, UNICEF, OSCE, UN and other organizations had been investing enormous amount of money during last decades into the anti-russian (i.e. russophobic) propaganda in ex-Eastern Ukraine, especially among young children. 9) Numerous American think-tanks (the Atlantic, Hudson Institute and many others) have been working on the plans to destroy Russia into multiple parts in war with each other, using multiple methods. and so on and so forth... Did the Economist or any Western-based media show you this reverse side of the medal?

The Ukraine War isn't what made it obvious that armed drones (UCAVs) are the future of warfare. Turkish MALE drones, Iranian kamikaze drones and even Chinese MALE drones were already used extensively before that and gave users an edge across multiple battlefields. Russia and Europe happened to fall behind on the tech, while the US and Israel has also had its own armed drones albeit they're less strategic now due to their high cost and thereby limited numbers and their evaporating strategic exclusivity. Yemen's Ansarullah used Iranian kamikaze drones against Saudi Arabia and the UAE which finally got them begging for a ceasefire that went into effect in April 2022, this despite the two also extensively using MALE drones themselves. Azerbaijan's use of Turkish MALE and Israeli kamikaze drones finally won them the war against Armenian separatists in late 2020. Armed drones have also been used extensively in Libya, Ethiopia, Syria and now the Sahel. The new play is armed drone boats (AUSVs).

Like how do we communicate what a pilot in a recce biplane can see to the artillery on the gound. Maybe haul a telephone cable up to the balloon or an OP, or drop a little capsule with photo film from the plane.

I tend to agree, but what’s exciting and terrifying, is that the rate of development of AI is hard to predict. It’s possible an AI could become more intelligent at an exponential rate, and then there’s no telling what the future would hold. But from what I’ve seen, you’re right, it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.

I think the future of war is going to be more mechanical and technology driven but men and women will be needed to operate it. When I think of future wars I think of is the Terminator movies where it’s man vs technology but it looks line men and women operating more advanced tech. I wonder if AI will eventually become a part of the battlefield. Soldiers wearing a lot of battery operated technology but more advanced. Trying to use more unmanned tech to save lives as well.

@DoseofTruth 10 ай бұрын

In my opinion, if humanity manages to survive for a considerable duration, I foresee a future where warfare transitions into a form of controlled competition, taking place in designated arenas that could potentially be simulated digitally and preferably located beyond our planet. This evolution would serve as a means to channel and satisfy our inherent drive for competitiveness, while reducing the destructive consequences of traditional warfare. Irrespective of technological advancements over the next century, our fundamental competitive instincts are likely to persist. Thus, for the next 100 years, it is plausible that we will continue to embrace and exercise our innate desire to compete.

AI is already very much part of the battlefield. This report omitted much, and was way off the mark in some places. Ukrainian strategy is being run by AI, and there are at least half a dozen separate use cases being fulfilled with AI in this war in the Ukrainian side that I know of. I’m quite sure Russia are using it too, although I don’t b think it will be as sophisticated as America’s, but you never know. If they’ve got their hands on some American kit they might gain some knowledge

They are effective, but basic physics still holds ... cube of the distance, i.e. you need a metric fuckton of energy to affect a significant area. There is a reason the only real way to cause significant EMP is a high altitude nuke, and there is a reason nobody uses nukes.
