This video explores the quickly growing usage of First person view drones in Ukraine.
How many are there, how are they used and defended against? And how might they impact
both the war in Ukraine and warfare in general?

  1. While on deployment in syria in 2017, there was a drone jamming radar there operated by civilians. It worked well, it would cause drones to drop with the loss of signal to the operator or fly back to pre determined location should it lose signal.

  2. Shouldn't this video talked more about laser air-defense systems, a $700 drone isn't cheap anymore if it cost cents to shoot down, it goes without saying that when the most expensive aircraft carriers is yet to have the system you're far away, but hypothetically if you could equip individual IFV's and so on with a relatively cheap such system it'd make drones quickly obsolete

  3. I predicted exactly that already way back in 2016, this was inevitable, all it took was a longer war between middle income countries. I think by now is clear that the endgame of such trend will see the obsolescence of most weapons of the past century and a drastic reduction in the need and usefulness of raw manpower as compared to civilian manufacture capacity and civilian electronic technology. Technology doesn't stand still, in less than 10 years it will be relatively simple to deploy faster longer ranged drones with bigger payloads that can be handed over to AI if jamming is attempted, it will be the death of the Tank and the IFV the moment that effective AP drone munitions are deployed. Only real way to hide is be beyond range, covered by cheap AA, or stealth (including hiding in buildings, trenches, or vegetation).

  4. I know that a number of the Ukranian troops that are pulled out of active duty for various reasons, injury etc, are given the opportunity to train as drone pilots. Im sure the other side is doing the same. It seems like a great way for a force, especially one thats low on manpower, to keep its soldiers "in the fight" even when they arent necessarily able to be on the frontlines anymore.

  5. People keep talking about "AI being on drones will change everything regardless of jammers". My answer is fuck no
    You are not putting a RTX card onto a drone (Aswell as power supply) to run the AI of a drone. Current AI technology like DALLE and Chat GPT are not run natively (on your system) and are rather run from a central server.

    This is not going to change, particularly with neural networks as they are not suitable for optimisation meaning you cant use a smaller chipset.

    Plus, from a production standpoint. If you try to make a new computer technology you are going to run into about a century worth of development, from APIs to the base X64 languages you are making a whole new technology from the ground up

  6. China is capable of making hundreds of these drones per one US infantry and vehicles. The US will have no chances of advancing when they fight against China. Taiwan needs to increase their military capability and even go nuclear to secure their independence. The US will think twice about sending their troops to support Taiwan.

  7. The fact that Russia outnumbered Ukraine in the Quantity of available drones (pushing it's own production) up to 7/1 , it is the reason why today Ukraine is slowly push backward on every front !

  8. Imagine a bomber like the B-21 dropping thousands of drones at a time and each one using AI to pick it's own target. An entire city could be covered without significant collateral damage.

  9. There was a Times interview with a retired US general who said he had not notes for the current Ukrainian general. He knew the battlefield. šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦

  10. well all the more reason to get Taiwan. Next EMP is a game changer with all electronics and the US and the EU have the lions share of GPS and can shut it down in sectors. Anyway all great defenses have been destroyed by cheap offenses. The world better wake up.

  11. So if we are at the stage that airplanes were in WW1, the next evolution would seem to be the development of predator drones. Time to study sparrow hawks ? What is the technology for following signals back to the drone operator to kill them ?

  12. If Russia can build 300,000 drones a month Ukraine will be overrun before June 2024. Hell they’ll make Paris celebrate Christmas on the Julian calendar next year.

  13. Binkov is going to have to redo all the "current country transported back in time" war scenarios.
    WW2 Nazi Germany won't have good anti drone jammers…
