Something tells me the U.S is about to get away from F-35’s and go all in with drones

Drone war is crazy and will be interesting to watch for the next 20 years. I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen more terrorist attacks using them here in the states. Seems like any time there's a large crowd of 100 people or more that they could be easy targets.

terrifying


speaking of, what would a swarm of those flying like a flock of birds do to an F16 if they could get in their airspace?

I imagine one of the limitations of those drone swarms would be the altitude they can reach?

A container ship full of nothing but these docked at an American port and then unleashing dystopian nightmare upon the coast wrecking power plants and sewage treatment facilities would make a fantastic scifi story….. or horrific reality

Gen 6 fighters (which we already have prototypes) are a mix of manned craft and drones.

No different than WWI, humanity will unfortunately create another slaughter with drones.

Notice he said ‘manned F35’.

Darpa is already working to convert our jets to AI driven unmanned. The program is called AIR.

Main reason why the government is trying to ban DJI drones. They consider it a threat and we are lucky we haven't seen a terrorist attack with one yet.

I love flying DJI but I understand why the govt is so concerned. Just look at what Ukraine has done with them

Those things aren’t strong enough to carry large payload weaponry or deliver it on target fast enough, yet.
The technology to power them as long as you would need to isn’t there yet either. Lithium ion isn’t gonna cut it.

I get it, but two things: Range and payload delivery.

That is wild to see. A sky filled with permanent flak.

To echo the earlier poster, what would happen to an f-35 flying through that?

If I were the pilot, I would fly around them.

Have you seen the videos from the Russia/Ukraine shite? The future (at least with wars fought on the ground) is definitely drone warfare.

And it’s fricking terrifying.

Someone posted a few months ago that radio jamming electronics can render operator guided drones useless.
