Radar guided drones are here: https://x.com/GrandpaRoy2/status/1947391537442394548?

A few more years of this and they might invent anti-air missiles that work.
Wowee, pretty scary

>Radar guided drones are here
So we're ever so slowly just coming back full circle.
Whats the next "breakthrough" ? a rocket motor ?

>>64013615 (OP)
A few of those survived the bump.
They also don't look radar guided.

>>64013643
Acoustic seekers

>>64013719
It can be radar-guided from the ground, or from a heavy drone somewhere else>>64013719

my solution is for the fixed wing drones to carry escort FPV drones on their wings like one would missiles, they should be small, light and optimized to just take out other drones

>>64013948
Escort HARM launching drones and escort flare/countermeasure drones.

>>64014143
Sorry, Ukranians arent jewish.

About to reach the fighter-vs-fighter stage.

>>64014177
soon...

>>64014196
we're gonna see some miniature red baron triplanes...

>>64014317
apparently the fokker dr.I was extremely maneuverable, so making a drone version wouldn't be such a bad idea

>>64014143
too bad nobody told them to not use meat assaults anymore

>>64014370
>>64014143
>>64013636
>>64013643
us air force cyber operations hard at work here

Drone tail gunners when?

>>64013643
high performance prop driven fixed wing interceptor drones firing machine guns
Think pic related but at like 1/5 size

>>64013643
So if drones are just going to become loitering missiles, then surely loitering AA will be the defense.

>>64014946
drones become the offense and the defense
>anti-drone drones

>>64014973
So a kamikaze drone that emits an EMP to take out entire drone swarms.

Controversial Opinion: Drones equipped with small nukes.

>>64014926
Stealth transport drones that drop a mini-tank drone for anti-personnel deep strike capabilities.

Just send a few of those tracked lite-robots behind enemy lines armed with an M60s to shoot at anything that moves.

>>64014980
individual kamikaze drones are probably good enough, but being able to hit more than one if they're in formation would be useful.

i don't think drone swarms will be like a swarm of locusts for this reason: they'll just be everywhere, but still dispersed and with spacing.

If billions of dollars can be spent figuring out how directed sound works, letting the world have the horrors of pinpoint ear obliteration, just like now. Then an coned electromagnetics should also be feasible. There is no reason an EMP needs to have an AOE, it should be targetable like a directed radio signal to knock out whatever is in its path instead of simply being a pulse.

What about drones that drop self burying mines?

[spoiler]the mines are also drones[/spoiler]

One day, my dream of a drone with a rotary fed chainsaw attached to it will be reality. I am /k/stradamus you have been warned.

When can we expect the first drone with a cope cage on it?

>>64015542
I could see a recon drone with a cope cage on the bottom of it to make it less susceptible to small and rifle arms

>>64013615 (OP)
Won't bring back that platoon of ziggers that fragged their officers and surrendered though.

>>64013615 (OP)
>Russian copied Ukrainian tactic from year ago
>Radar guided drones are here!
They were here for year

>>64014143
> makes sure to tell russia
Yeah anon, Russians are so fucking retarded that when they see enemy flying explosive fpv drones and drop grenade from drones they are too stupid to guess unless someone tells them

>>64013615 (OP)
Why do they have the Breaking Bad Mexico filter on?

>>64015726
Maybe someone on their drone-line misses the cozy days of sodium street lamps

>>64014926
The Mustang was dogshit at anything but flying in a straight line tho and even that only worked as long as the laminar flow wings didn’t get fucked over by a bug.
