This would be more detrimental that the cancellation of a specific weapons system like the F35... if no engineering team in the US knows how to build the next best jet fighters, when the teams in China do - you're in trouble.
@@LordRykard9376- and you know that how? You ever wonder why China and Russia have not even figured 5th generation out properly? Or Why Musk is saying such a nonsense? - maybe because he wants to get the next contract, ever thought of that? Lockheed Martin is his competition in more than one way.
Swiss/German Oerlikon has demonstrated with its Skyranger air defense system how to deal with drones, even 1000’s of them. The fact that there are new systems out there doesn’t make existing ones obsolete.
There is footage of Musk suggesting future airliners will be electric powered, supersonic and vertical take off / landing. Says it all about how much Musk actually knows about the subject.
@ Sorry no, I just stumble upon it. He is being interviewed and was asked his thoughts on the future of commercial air travel. Like much of Musk’s utterances his followers take it as gospel.
As a former USAF F-35 Crew Chief, I cringed at Elons comment. If you're not involved in this world, you better know a good amount before trying to discredit the world's most advanced stealth fighter... That's not an exaggeration, there's nothing else like it right now. I feel like Elon may have smoked a little something before hand, because he fails to mention all of the many drawbacks drones have right now that aren't likely to improve in the immediate future. We easily have decades before replacing them with drones is something the USAF would even consider..
@PatrickRockwell24 Considering there are no other Superpowers, no. But the US and its allies constantly test their equipment in war simulations and a US F-35 pilot who had most of their career in an F-16 had said there's no survivability going against 5th gen practically no matter the force size of the 4th gen. China's J-20 will rest at the bottom of the South China sea, Russia's SU-57 will never reach mass production and even if it did would stand zero chance. They're immitations, paper tigers that have no proven record. (Except the two SU-57's that got HIMARS'd on the boarder of Ukraine.)

The complex has been dead since the 90s, it's a group of around 4 companies that bought the other 70 smaller companies which made it a complex, it's just a military industrial group
@thenamedguy998 And what did the development program cost? did you factor that into the unit cost? Of course you didn't...? Did Lockheed pay for the development? Of course not.
The problem is not the technology....it's the obscene cost ! We all know that there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY !!! How much of this cost is buying airplanes vs villas and yachts?
Bunker buster with drone = no Precision heavy strike from 300miles away = no Destroy a building with 1x bomb from 50 miles away = no Intercept 100x rockets flying at mach3 = no Intercept rockets from 200 miles away = no Targeting 100 buildigs from 300 away and destroy them = no You have to be at the frontlines with your drones. You cant operate from a save distance with massive destuction. How many drones do you need to destroy a huge building? Too many. Drones are very slow and fly very low. The Answer is NOT = Drones OR F35. The Answer is = Drones AND F35. Depends on the Situation and Target.
The F-35 is a great Swiss Army knife. However because of the military branches all using the same platform it does not fit all use cases for an individual service. Sharing platforms is a mistake when the parameters required are too varied. Also the days of Cost Plus contracts, delays, and overruns are over. Aerospace companies will have to take the loss if they can't deliver on time and on budget.
Lockheed Martin CEO has conveniently misunderstood the term drone. Of course Elon Musk was not referring to DJI drones. He was referring to fighter jet drones equipped with artificial intelligence pilots which will at some point beat piloted planes
His response is perfect. He wasn't bitter over what Elon said. He actually acknowledged Elon's point. But if the enemy has a gun, you need a gun to battle them. You really don't need a laser weapon before you need a laser weapon. And yes, drone have a played a huge part in Ukraine. But what people have to realize is, that is a war where neither side has achieved air superiority. If for example Ukraine had Air superiority, you wouldn't have nearly as many guys on the Russian side sitting in Trenches shelters flying drones around. They simply wouldn't be as big of a factor as they are.
Does the F35 give the US a strategic advantage? According to experts, yes. Has its manufacturing and development been fraught with extremely wasteful spending? Probably. Knowing how much free reign military contractors have It's safe to say there's likely a lot of room for trimming the budget while still maintaining/increasing efficiency.
I think you’re proving your own point wrong. The reason why it’s such an expensive product is because it’s gives a suite of capabilities that is needed for modern applications. As long as radar detection and anti air defense keeps improving, the drone will be less and less effective by time if you do not try to advance the drone itself as well. And right now, drones are closer to loitering munitions than they are planes. It’s smarter to have a pilot who has the tools to be hidden and effective enough to launch munitions and drones without risking the hardware that made those actions happen.
Do you know who owns the IO after receiving 3 trillion dollars for R&D? Lockheed Martin. We're not only talking about free reign, we're talking about litteral scamming. It's not only probable, it's proven.
@@Noel-ro7rzthe F-35 is far from obsolete as you can see in Israel’s strikes against Iran and, in the last two days, the Syrian military assets … as usual Elon musk makes comments without knowing what he’s talking about.

Yes, sure, but Mucks is not the person who said that, so he cannot be credited with trying to advance drones, we were already there years before MUCKS got his bloomers in a bunch.
@@Noel-ro7rz Musk was saying that drones are the future. F35s are not obsolete, and drones are definitely the future. The future needs both. So I partly agree with Musk.
What all these people forget is that all these technologiy take a tremendous amount of resources to make. Resources can be quickly depleted trough use or disruption...
@@rickyray4111 and it's normal. The country is not even at war. So no need to ready the whole thousand jets for no reason. They can fully operate the whole air force at it's peak if the major war happen.
The maintenance requirements aren't great, contributes to a high operating cost, but the purchase price on the F-35 has dropped dramatically to the point that it's cheaper than many 4th-gen fighters. They've really leveraged the economies of scale on it.
I don't think it's Chinese jet can outrun a missile. And again those Jets do not fly 24 hours a day they are on the ground and awful lot. I'm kind of missing some of the points that he's making.
PPL in the comments calling Elon stupid, meanwhile the CEO is like: yeah he is right, and wrong lol I honestly think ppl just hate because they don't like someone even if he said 2+2 is 4 lol
I find this man’s explanation of the F35 to be a generic justification for airplanes, without addressing the F35. Musk is right, jet’s are yesterday’s tools.
I think acquiring anti jamming capabilities first is more important than spending money on drones that could easily be jammed or remotely controlled by an adversary.
Imagine going to buy a new fleet vehicle at the dealer and when you have selected the one you like with the option to buy more you are told that further development will be required for 15 years and if you back out of the deal each one will cost you more as well as recurring maintenance as they get older will get more expensive. You are told it's more difficult to produce the same parts as they get older and even if you take the deal only half the vehicles are usable at any one time. All this but bonuses and dividends will still be paid out to the managers and investors...
this guy sounds about 400x more knowledgeable and strategic in his thinking than elon who by now talks like a spoiled 12 year old who has been told he is a genius all his life by his ambitious parents
I can't believe that clowns ravings even warrant a response but here we are lol. Dude literally said stealth fighters are useless because you can see them with your eyes lol

Biggest mistake long term that Trump will make is allowing this guy get a foot in the door.
Yeah have drones to escort Air Force One.
I think Musk should personally pulot AF1 over a S-400 system to see how well his air "assets" work when confronted with a somewhat capable SAM system...
Not yet. Wait until 21 JAN. 😁😁😁
He didn't even perfected his cybertruck and now he's criticizing someone's art work 😂
Drones need CONSTANT satellite connectivity...like Starlink. :)
Now you know the angle!
@@uruthrakNot sure what you guys mean but this is scary he lined starlink up perfectly for these drones in NJ and him and Trump are best friends sound like they want the new world order to begin

And then the enemy shoots his stupid satellites down, perfect.
@@artonio5887 Easier said than done.
Losing the knowledge-base and ability to engineer next-gen aircraft would the an unforeseen consequence of moving away from advanced fighter jet development programs. This would be more detrimental that the cancellation of a specific weapons system like the F35... if no engineering team in the US knows how to build the next best jet fighters, when the teams in China do - you're in trouble.
I bet Elon meant the US should buy those fancy swarming drones from China. What could go wrong?!
You can build next generation aircraft without buying hundreds of billions in costs. Think before you type.
And yet reducing the taxes of corporations would make it harder to fund these efforts.
@@LordRykard9376- and you know that how?
You ever wonder why China and Russia have not even figured 5th generation out properly? Or
Why Musk is saying such a nonsense? - maybe because he wants to get the next contract, ever thought of that?
Lockheed Martin is his competition in more than one way.
@@snieves4- 100%
Swiss/German Oerlikon has demonstrated with its Skyranger air defense system how to deal with drones, even 1000’s of them.
The fact that there are new systems out there doesn’t make existing ones obsolete.
drones are cheap and can be deployed along with missiles/rockets, they can overwhelm AA very easily
There is footage of Musk suggesting future airliners will be electric powered, supersonic and vertical take off / landing. Says it all about how much Musk actually knows about the subject.
Yeah that waa him on joe rogan. When i heard that a few years back i realized dude is an idiot
People also thought catching a rocket in mid-air with chopsticks was impossible.
@ Catching a rocket is not defying physics, what’s more was it actually Musk’s idea?
got a link?
@ Sorry no, I just stumble upon it. He is being interviewed and was asked his thoughts on the future of commercial air travel. Like much of Musk’s utterances his followers take it as gospel.
Elon knows nothing about everything.

As a former USAF F-35 Crew Chief, I cringed at Elons comment. If you're not involved in this world, you better know a good amount before trying to discredit the world's most advanced stealth fighter... That's not an exaggeration, there's nothing else like it right now. I feel like Elon may have smoked a little something before hand, because he fails to mention all of the many drawbacks drones have right now that aren't likely to improve in the immediate future. We easily have decades before replacing them with drones is something the USAF would even consider..
To be fair, Elon's always smoking something these days. It would probably be easier to point out when he isn't talking out of his ass.
Someone tell musk electronic warfare exists
Oh yeah the Russian army has been one of the most devout EW followers
People really out here defending the CEO of Lockheed Martin
It's crazy. these guys scammed the american tax payer for 3 trillion.
Over the CEO of Twitter? About military defense.... Yeah, totally.
F-35 is a monster system and huge leap in capabilities for our Air Force and those of our allies.
@PatrickRockwell24 Considering there are no other Superpowers, no. But the US and its allies constantly test their equipment in war simulations and a US F-35 pilot who had most of their career in an F-16 had said there's no survivability going against 5th gen practically no matter the force size of the 4th gen.
China's J-20 will rest at the bottom of the South China sea, Russia's SU-57 will never reach mass production and even if it did would stand zero chance. They're immitations, paper tigers that have no proven record. (Except the two SU-57's that got HIMARS'd on the boarder of Ukraine.)
@@ArthurFisher-f1k This makes it even funnier that the US surrendered to the Taliban who have no air force at all.

A CEO of a car company lecturing Lockheed Martin on what to do with war machines, really ?
This is Lockheed Martin we're talking about, for heaven sake.
so basically, Musk saw all the pretty Christmas lights and decided that all the lights in the house or on the streets should be replaced with those decoration lights
Absolutely spot on. Thanks Elon but your statement was shortsighted.
Lets wait a bit before assessing that.
Did you also checked you computer after 1:18?
Elon Musk thinking he is an expert on warfare is pure comedy.
Just look at Ukraine to understand that warfare is changing. Ukraine are using drones effectively

They love his rocket designs and have been stealing intellectual property in the American aerospace industry for decades since the Cold War. It is very difficult to hold scrutiny for Musk.

There is no such thing as air superiority anymore. You will never be able to close an airspace from drones
i love how they didn’t mention that the cost of the F-35 is one of the biggest con. Remember, developement began in 1995. each costing 100-400mill.
False. With the economy of scale, F-35s cost ~80 million per unit
@thenamedguy998 And what did the development program cost? did you factor that into the unit cost?
Of course you didn't...? Did Lockheed pay for the development? Of course not.
"Israel" and "precision strike" doesn't belong in the same sentence.
No ,it is. They targeted civilians.
They do.
The problem is not the technology....it's the obscene cost ! We all know that there is NO ACCOUNTABILITY !!! How much of this cost is buying airplanes vs villas and yachts?
A single manned fighter being able to simultaneously control 8 other aircraft like a Gundam dragoon system? Neat.
Leaks coming out about Trump working together with shareholders involved with Qarden Token
Bot comment. Be gone.
The man with 50,000 Teslas in storage and the Cybertruck.......what a trumper!
Bunker buster with drone = no
Precision heavy strike from 300miles away = no
Destroy a building with 1x bomb from 50 miles away = no
Intercept 100x rockets flying at mach3 = no
Intercept rockets from 200 miles away = no
Targeting 100 buildigs from 300 away and destroy them = no
You have to be at the frontlines with your drones. You cant operate from a save distance with massive destuction.
How many drones do you need to destroy a huge building? Too many.
Drones are very slow and fly very low.
The Answer is NOT = Drones OR F35.
The Answer is = Drones AND F35.
Depends on the Situation and Target.
You are right.
Elon may be good at building rockets but he should stay away from the fighter aircraft business, at least as of now.
Currently this is the case. there is nothing saying you can't make drones capable of these things.
What Elon forgets is that missiles are essentially "drones" already.
You don't need defense if you stop making enemies.
very cute wishful thinking.
that type of fantasy utopia doesn't exist.
The F-35 is a great Swiss Army knife. However because of the military branches all using the same platform it does not fit all use cases for an individual service. Sharing platforms is a mistake when the parameters required are too varied.
Also the days of Cost Plus contracts, delays, and overruns are over. Aerospace companies will have to take the loss if they can't deliver on time and on budget.
Well, Lockheed claimed they could do it - and then took 3 trillion dollars and 20 years to deliver 80% of what they promised.
@ Another victory for govt waste.
With Elon and Trump now working with Qarden Token is going to absolutely blow up
Yeah... most likely in your face. I'll invest in popcorn.
Wait .... "Israel", "precision strike" and "40k civil casualties" doesn't compute...
Right
The future is EMP defense to stop drones and small AI drones!
Emp will likely knock out the f35 and every other piece of electronic equipment in the radius too
F35 has emi sheilding on all wires
Also laser air defense systems (the US already has these)
Lockheed Martin CEO has conveniently misunderstood the term drone. Of course Elon Musk was not referring to DJI drones. He was referring to fighter jet drones equipped with artificial intelligence pilots which will at some point beat piloted planes
His response is perfect. He wasn't bitter over what Elon said. He actually acknowledged Elon's point. But if the enemy has a gun, you need a gun to battle them. You really don't need a laser weapon before you need a laser weapon. And yes, drone have a played a huge part in Ukraine. But what people have to realize is, that is a war where neither side has achieved air superiority. If for example Ukraine had Air superiority, you wouldn't have nearly as many guys on the Russian side sitting in Trenches shelters flying drones around. They simply wouldn't be as big of a factor as they are.
Does the F35 give the US a strategic advantage? According to experts, yes. Has its manufacturing and development been fraught with extremely wasteful spending? Probably. Knowing how much free reign military contractors have It's safe to say there's likely a lot of room for trimming the budget while still maintaining/increasing efficiency.
Sure, but I wouldn't leave that to Elon.
I think you’re proving your own point wrong. The reason why it’s such an expensive product is because it’s gives a suite of capabilities that is needed for modern applications. As long as radar detection and anti air defense keeps improving, the drone will be less and less effective by time if you do not try to advance the drone itself as well. And right now, drones are closer to loitering munitions than they are planes. It’s smarter to have a pilot who has the tools to be hidden and effective enough to launch munitions and drones without risking the hardware that made those actions happen.
Do you know who owns the IO after receiving 3 trillion dollars for R&D? Lockheed Martin. We're not only talking about free reign, we're talking about litteral scamming. It's not only probable, it's proven.
Lockheed wastes trillions on toilet paper.
Welcome to the Government kid😅😂
No
As a former Lockheed employee, I can tell you the toilet paper in the bathrooms is the best I’ve ever used.
I agree with the Lockheed Martin CEO. And I also agree with Elon Musk. Drones are part of the future, as well as F35s.
Then you don’t agree with Elon because he’s saying the F35 is obsolete
@@Noel-ro7rzthe F-35 is far from obsolete as you can see in Israel’s strikes against Iran and, in the last two days, the Syrian military assets … as usual Elon musk makes comments without knowing what he’s talking about. And everyone in the defense industry understands the importance of drone (and anti-drone) technology- they don’t need Elons advice…
Yes, sure, but Mucks is not the person who said that, so he cannot be credited with trying to advance drones, we were already there years before MUCKS got his bloomers in a bunch.
@@Noel-ro7rz Musk was saying that drones are the future. F35s are not obsolete, and drones are definitely the future. The future needs both. So I partly agree with Musk.
A 10 yr old would agree drones are part of the future as well as F35s.
What all these people forget is that all these technologiy take a tremendous amount of resources to make. Resources can be quickly depleted trough use or disruption...
The F35 only operational 47 percent and for every 1 hours it requires 3 hours of maintenance if you look at the data.
So what that is normal thing. You should look at older jet fighters
@@fridaynight3181The plane is about 20 years old and still has major issues. Its the pentagon wars all over.
@@rickyray4111 and it's normal. The country is not even at war. So no need to ready the whole thousand jets for no reason. They can fully operate the whole air force at it's peak if the major war happen.
They cost too much and require a ridiculous amount of maintenance with a supply chain that’s spread across the planet.
The maintenance requirements aren't great, contributes to a high operating cost, but the purchase price on the F-35 has dropped dramatically to the point that it's cheaper than many 4th-gen fighters. They've really leveraged the economies of scale on it.
And yet, F35 availability, once the maintenance depots get built, will be far greater than legacy fighters.
Bro, you've just showed that you don't know jacksh*t, just like Elon.
@@asquare9316 They claim that. I don't believe that for one bit.

@HH-yc7oz Dude the CEO said he is right, but pointed out the mistakes, I am not d-ridding anyone, you ppl are just blinded by hate lol
F35 is very expensive to operate
Why we need adversaries instead of peace
I find this man’s explanation of the F35 to be a generic justification for airplanes, without addressing the F35. Musk is right, jet’s are yesterday’s tools.
Jets and drones cannot preform the same roles (yet and for a long while) the awareness and decision making of a human is hard to replace. Dumb take
I think acquiring anti jamming capabilities first is more important than spending money on drones that could easily be jammed or remotely controlled by an adversary.
Imagine going to buy a new fleet vehicle at the dealer and when you have selected the one you like with the option to buy more you are told that further development will be required for 15 years and if you back out of the deal each one will cost you more as well as recurring maintenance as they get older will get more expensive. You are told it's more difficult to produce the same parts as they get older and even if you take the deal only half the vehicles are usable at any one time. All this but bonuses and dividends will still be paid out to the managers and investors...
Criticism from the man who is unable to deliver the tesla roadster after how many years....?

Won’t be all drums or all F35s we need lots of options depending on what we did at the time
Can a current drone carry and precisely drop a GBU 57?
Ah yes the person that created the truck with parts glued onto it is criticizing a 5th generation fighter jet
How many times has her truck been recalled?
How many revisions has the F-35 undergone to become fully operational and delivering on what was promised? 3 trillion dollars - taxpayer money, BTW.
The correct way forward is to use new technologies to enhance our capabilities, not to outright replace our existing equipment.

Drones don’t carry thousand of pounds of ordnance for thousands of miles, yet.
Well they do. Problem is, they are called Cruise missiles, which don't pump up the stock price as much as drones
Drones will be more destructive than nukes in terms of cost and availability to destruction
I can't believe that clowns ravings even warrant a response but here we are lol. Dude literally said stealth fighters are useless because you can see them with your eyes lol
How about focusing more on talks to build and fix stuff like bridges, roads, and infrastructure.
But, What did Elon Say, that the CEO responded on? maybe i missed that in the videoclip... Weird.
Nah, your IQ is just low.
Qarden Token has two of the largest Tesla shareholders already; most likely something is coming
Elon is the single largest shareholder of Telsa.... so reasumme your usual position, they are about to turn the camera's on.
Hopefully our future defenses will be able to function if it’s cold out.
imagine if a network of 10 drones somehow evolve to take down a fighter jet
You can tell what unmanned drones cannot do by considering what decisions a SpaceX rocket cannot make on its own.
Elon forgot what a train is and made the hyper loop, a much less efficient mode of transportation. He's supposed to make government more efficient? Give me a break.
