FPV drones becoming soldier proof... 13M views · 183K reactions | smartest AI VR drone 😱 | #shorts #viralvideo #fact | By Factsx | Facebook

Have been out to spot any errors or omissions, but it feels spot on. Unfortunately. Somebody once said something similar to "you elect the leaders you deserve". We seem particularly bad at doing even that.

I really hate hearing Rosgvardia being conflated with the National Guard. US readers have an understanding of their National Guard that is universes away from what Rosgvardia is and does. Such easy linking of the two names sets a mental framework and expectations that are at odds with reality...

As has been said before, Russia is a gas station run by the (Russian) mafia masquerading as a country.

Had a USAF buddy who was on the SALT inspection teams. Not very easy, although enough bribery can alter paperwork it is harder to hide a physical weapon and move it around. Would have been/probably still is, easier to get one on the black market from another former Soviet satellite state...

Ukraine could build a bomb and fly it by drone within about 3 weeks if they wanted to. They have the fissile material from various power plants and years of use. Large? no. Efficient? No. Think WW2 level and design (plug into disc rather than a compressed orb)...

Perhaps at the senior officer level, I have my doubt any field grade or enlisted will survive long enough (and be trusted enough by Kim) to ever see NK again. But as to the concept, yes. But realistically a week or 10 days worth of combat losses by Russia is relatively unimportant (200k plus...

I would say that is the wrong spin. Corruption existed, was discovered and punished (forced out). The "cast the first stone" quote comes to mind. Corruption exists in the west and with respect to those involved in the US 'military/industrial complex' who have not inappropriately enriched or...

With a dosimeter screening everything and everyone entering

All valid, but the 'system' to develop new drones and field is currently is too slow and bureaucratic

The real takeaway of the drone wars for me is the 2-3 week iteration of hardware, software and tactics. If you don't upgrade and change yours they rapidly become useless. I find it hard to see how the current western R&D / bufgeting / contracting / semi-monopolistic large defense contractor...

To be fair, his Grandfathers and Father probably earned 90% of those and it is legal to wear them. But it sure screams inferiority complex.

So yes. Even with good use of Tx and Rx windows with the next communication window time as part of the data, there is a significant vulnerability with the chat room concept - security and difficulty to break the encryption of messages being bounced down from the satellite. Think what happened...

An an OpFor unit from the 75th, under a platoon in size, using TTP derived from the Ukrainian experience effectively neutralised a brigade at NSTC

Maybe Dillon has a ground 'drone' mount. A midsized tracked unmanned platform with a pair of M-134 each sweeping a 100 degree slightly overlapping arc forwards and the bulk of the payload being linked 7.62. Would be a whole new type of drive-by.

the ethnic history of the region is complicated. And Putin's "history" is out to lunch in a big way (as if we didn't already know that) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFw0lb4tWNFKk7pfeLDOrBpw3B8KWvWDe

Kinda seriously, yes. There are precedents with intervening in other conflicts to prevent humanitarian abuses. If a tripwire strategy in the Baltics is tactically and politically sound, why would the concept and expected result(s) not apply to a western countries troops (the French Foreign...

At what point will NATO, the UN or ANY country step in as a humanitarian intervention? My guess is nobody has the guts to ignore the US and do so. And the wests EW capabilities are far behind Russia (always have been) so even gifting a metric shit ton of EW assets to Ukrainian border towns is...

Or possibly friendly fire. Awaiting photo verification.

Typical squaddie, but some tidbits of hard won LSCO kit and TTP https://youtube.com/@bigmakbattleblog?si=qZCly_s5AFd0p3Jn
