Drones are gay anyway. Return to autistic tradition: strapping SNEB rockets to trainer aircraft. 100hp, 12 68mm rockets, 127kn top speed and an insanely based pilot is a formula for legends.
We'd have to get some Wagner Group people for that.
Wagner is a massive PMC that makes fat stacks of cash. The Biafra babies was Göring's nephew, Carl Gustaf von Rosen, getting a few friends together to blow up Nigerians because they were blowing up too many civilans. Considerably different in scope and story. Those Wagner fellows seem semi-effective, but it's comparing big business to the dying breed of the last true adventurer warriors.
Indeed. The little quadcopter has proven its worth on the battlefield, but it has not turned the battlefield upside-down like some midwits seem to think. Once drones get large enough to carry large payloads they cease to have many of the advantages of the little kamikaze drones we've seen, they start being far more vulnerable to AA weaponry, and detection is far easier. The tiny little drones that are small enough that detection is most difficult are at the point of diminishing returns, there is little that can be done to improve the smallest ones now aside from small incremental changes around cost of production, maximum target effect, improved control systems and extended range. Meanwhile, tanks, infantry equipment, ECM, short range AA and many other forms of equipment have immense improvements that can be made, those are simply a lot slower to appear.

Straight up sci-fi shit.
Active protection systems and shit like autocannons on remote weapon systems are already being thrown around as ideas against the little quadcopter fuckers. Fact is nothing else can do what a tank can. Militaries aren't giving them up because of faggots with quadcopters. People said the TANK WAS DEAD when ATGM's became widespread. Nope. We adapted to the threat.
EW will become fucking massive. Frankly I imagine it'll become like naval warfare in a way, where there are hard kill and soft kill systems for things like drones.
There's a microwave technology in development that attacks the electrical components directly, regardless of the type of guidance or control.
Theoretically a simple radio receiver that scans for frequencies commonly used by enemy drones (there are only so many usable radio frequencies after all) and then a large directed microwave emitter could be effective.
Smart ones saw what happened to executive outcomes.
You realize there are purpose built weapons for taking out armored formations that will do the job infinitely better than a 2000 pound bomb right? You use a cbu105 for destroying lots of armor, not a 2000 pound jdam.
CBUs aren't just anti-armor weapons, they're important for airfield attacks and DEAD as well. We can follow this tangent all day, bombs are more versatile than drones in any case.
Lol I didn't say you only use a cbu105 for destroying armor formations.
We sure showed the houthis taking a year and a half to get a cease fire brokered by a third party.
Yeah sure whatever man. This has no bearing on your gay little argument.
Again, cruise missiles and ballistics made most of the actual threat. Why are you so gay and dishonest about this? Stop being retarded.
Ok Mr we use 2000 pound bombs on tanks.
You can drop 2000 pounders on ships that have had their radars HARMed, it doesn't mean anything nigga. You're grasping at all this irrelevant little nonsense to cope for how retarded you're being.
Good job pivoting to something you would actually use such heavy ordnance on.
