Yeah
Hi.
Funny how in the thumbnail you showed a Ukrainian drone as imposing and the Russian soldier as scared, while its the Russian drones doing all the bombing.
Your bias is showing.
Your Map of India Pakistan displays Line Of Control incorrectly, Jammu & Kashmir is disputed territory, the Line of Control extends between Pakistani administered Azad Kashmir & Gilgit Baltistan with the Indian Administered Jammu Kashmir region
Please make a video about Armenia Azerbaijan Nagorno Karabakh conflict. We need full video on this.
1700s: Quality is most important
1800s: Mobility is the most important
1900s: Quantity is the most important
2000s: Idk, just trow some robots and see what happens
Honestly the 2000s is a combo of all the previous. Quantity for swarms, quality to actually control effectively, mobility as they can move faster then soldiers
Who is good or evil has sadly nothing to do with who wins the war.
@@MrBuckman420
2020s onwards: A large quantity of highly mobile, quality autonomous war-robots
1900's was resources, like for example for Japan, Germany needing resources
The only reason the Allies won the war was US production capacity.@@lazyguy3081

@paleoph6168 who made you upset💀
From little fpv drones zipping into buildings and through the trees to massive 8 rotor drones capable of destroying multiple tanks in middle of the night using HEAT warheads on them or acting as a mothership to smaller drones. To recon and grenade dropping, maritime harassment and raids with underwater or surface naval drones, they have become vital at every level of warfare.
They can be so cheap that firing a stinger missile at a smaller drone would be way too expensive.
Whats even better, or worse, is that all of these attacks are basically risk free due to the low cost and unmanned nature of these drones. Whether they came back or not doesn’t matter because the target they attack are usually far more valuable, and that shows in loitering munition since they can do reconnaissance and they finish the job with a boom to something/someone.
There are also at least 2 FPV drone-to-drone combat footages with Russian one coming up victorious
Yep. I am constantly amazed at what the Ukrainian Armed Forces are doing with their drones.
Some of the footage is just brutal. The occupiers justifiably live in perpetual fear of them.
Slava Ukraine.
@@Snailman3516 It's not just the price of the drone vs I.e. a Stinger, that you have to weigh against each other.
You also have to consider the value of the damage that the drone could cause, if it's not shot down immediately.
From the numbers I heard, when I was a soldier, along with a quick search just now.
I don't think it's unreasonable that training and equipping just one NATO soldier, ready for deployment, costs about the same as one Stinger.
So let's just for the heck of it, say that a Ukrainean or Russian soldier costs half, because of the shortened training time, and getting donated or outdated equipment.
That's just low ranking soldiers. Many vehicles, non-personal equipment or even civilian lives and infrastructure are worth more.
Then there's the moral and logistic aspect to any losses.
Now the math looks a lot different. Not as black and white as you usually hear, from your average talking head. At least I don't think so.
My biggest fear, or horror if you will. Is that, if you destroy a tank it won't come back to attack you. A drone? The enemy will just send an identical drone day after day, because chances are good that the ammo you spent to destroy the drone was more expensive than the ammo you threw at it.
It gets worse. The average fighter plane is so insanely expensive because it's a weapon system built around what is effectively a hospital bed. Everything is built around the pilot and the cockpit, which is why you have modern fighters costing millions upon millions of dollars to build and maintain. Drones are barely a fraction of the cost; sure, the average drone controller doesn't have the lightning-fast reflexes of the fighter pilot, but they don't need to. You lose a drone, just sent in the next dozen. You pilot a plane, you could get killed if it's shot down, so the military loses an expensive-to-train pilot as well.
If that's your worst fear, try to imagine if someone tapes a bomb to the cheap Chinese drone, that costs 100$ and you can target basically anyone, anywhere. You will not be safe in your flat, on 33 floor, and they could drop the bombs or weapons while you are trying to find some good movie on Netflix, maybe they will tell you which one your should play or 💥
Now imagine unmanned submarines, with solar panels attached to it, that US is already using it in Middle East.
Imagine piloting unmanned car into crowd, imagine using robots to shoot everything that moves, and even if you sacrifice your life to stop one, a nation who is able to create 9 Billions of drones can risk loosing one drone per human, and still it would be one Billion of drones marching the victory.
It is said that in the WW3 weapons will be advanced but in the WW4 stones and wooden sticks will be predominant weapons 😅
@@vforvendetta5555but what happens if they run out supplies and money needs to build them?
@@shadiafifi54big planes will always gave their place. It’s like saying bots will take out the shipping industry😂
3:48 my brother fought in Artsakh and according to him the worst part of the entire war were the drones. He says they could hear the drones flying above them all the time and usually all they could do was to seek for cover cuz of the absence of weapons that could take the drones down
So your brother wouldn't fight he would just hide.... also its called Nagorno-Karabakh not the made up name "Artsakh"
Wow your brother fought for a imaginary place!
"absence of weapons that could take the drones down"
armenian invaders had those weapons but as video suggested they were not capable of using them effective. Even Azerbaijani forces baited armenian ADS's by sending un-piloted old planes to their way and when armenians activated their systems and shoot them down, revealing their positions. Azerbaijani forces instantly knocked them out of combat with Harops or TB2s.
Let's play a game called "spot the nationalists". (Not you, OP; the comments below.)
Please stop. This is a scholarly history channel, not the place for venting ideology.
@@palindrome.

Let's play a game called "spot the westard"
I like how the part explaining a large plane being a mothership for drones is basically the entire concept for the Arsenal Bird in AC7
"...they lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines. "
These drones don’t kill people, people kill people, someone always push the trigger.
The small drones usage reminds me of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 from 2007.
Lancet sends its regards
Obviously, Luxembourg is more powerful as they are hiding their tripods
People said the same things about submarine warfare, at the beginning of WW2 Germany had free reign of the Atlantic. By the end of the war German Submarines could not leave port with out getting attacked. Technology will counter drones, until they are no longer viable, and the next thing will come along.
I don't know, we're nearly 2 years into the war and Ukrainian drones are still regularly spotting for artillery, destroying ammo depots, spotting for infantry, destroying bunkers, destroying troop transports, destroying tanks, and dropping grenades directly onto soldiers.
"Ukrinfiorm TV" just uploaded a montage about 10 minutes ago of Ukrainian drones reeking all manner of havoc.
The Russians are also, unfortunately, using drones now.
They remain pretty viable and it appears they'll remain so.
Mm. Wide range EMP pulses maybe. Otherwise AI run drones would become like mines.
In my opinion the era after the "drone era" will be an era where every single country will try to reset each others' technologies with EMP's (as the comment right above me stated) and other similar tech. Turkey even sabotaged a French battleship (?) in the 2020 Eastern Mediterreanen Crisis.
so submarines are "no longer viable"...? Or are they a key component of virtually every naval force in the world, from North Korea to the US?
No weapon system can win a war by itself. Of course the U-Boots couldn't defeat the combined navies and air forces of the Allies, they needed the support of the Luftwaffe which they didn't really have. And they kept on being a threat until the very last days of the war.
@@igorbednarski8048Good point also, lol...
Yes. Submarines remain quite "viable".
IIRC, the Iraqis who surrendered to the drone during Desert Storm did so because they quickly figured out that drone was the spotter for the two USN battleships lobbing 16" shells at them.
@@extantfellow46 Agreed.
I wish you mentioned the Iranian Shahed Drones.
Curious if there will be a part 2 talking about kamikaze drones like U.S switch blades and russian lancet. I would love to know more history behind those kind of drones
Coyote block 2, LOCUST, Perdix micro-drone swarm, Parrot ANAFI, Blue sUAS, Altius-600, Phoenix Ghost.
"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots."

That almost makes them sound like nukes. It's like they'll be the end of us. We're the techno-aliens of the future - We are Borg.
That's from The Simpsons episode.
Old school Simpsons reference 🥱
What if you took a tank and gave it a little recon drone attached by a wire (So it can't just lose connection and sends data faster.) and somehow connect the drone's camera to the cannon so it can fly over a building and calculate the shot necessary to shoot at a target through the building or other obstacle without the tank actually needing line of sight.
You could do that with a helium balloon and a FPV camera.
real life 3rd person mode
A wire attachment would be a great way to tell the enemy exactly where your tank is.
Wall hack irl
@@mankeil4468 The wire thing is because wireless methods of communication are easy to intercept or jam. And a brick wall may be good against an HE round of some form but pure kenetic will have no problem. Especially at the close range of urban combat. Also in urban combat it is more than likely the side of the enemy armored vehicle will be the side facing so it will be MUCH easier to penetrate than the direct front.
Considering a drone just destroyed a Leopard, the thumbnail is kinda clickbait.
There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of kamikaze drone videos chasing down Russian conscripts compared to ONE video that the Lancet managed to hit the side of the Leopard, I doubt this video is too clickbait. The Armchair Historian isn’t in the best financial state so whatever he does is in his interest.
@@dannyzero692Nice Ukropium. There sre 1000's of Russuan UAV videos on yt only, but ukro-propaganda has to do it's job.
@@jhdsfalsjhdfjashdkhvjfldld8301Ukrocopium is hell of a drug,remember when they said they would have Crimea by this summer? Lol
@@jhdsfalsjhdfjashdkhvjfldld8301 I see that the trolls are very active yet again, both sides use drones very effectively but Ukraine has the clear advantage in numbers, tactics and training for their drones. They can keep an entire settlement (Krynki) under fire control with drones. A video of Lancet setting off the smokescreen of a Leopard 2 isn't nearly as impressive. As for effectiveness I suggest you look at the daily lists produced by Andrew Perpetua. Ukraine uses drones much more and much more effectively than Russia.
@@wol06fi89 I get it, you support ukraine, fine; but what you are saying is wrong. There is even footage of Lancets striking parked ukranian Mig 29's at their airports very far away from the fronts.
You live in a information bubble, only consuming Ukranian propaganda, why don't you widen your horizons a bit and don't verdose on ukropium. Ukraine knows how to use drones, but to claim they have a clear advantage is just wishfull thinking.
9:14, это была атака не морского дрона, а намеренная терраристическая атака, где фуру загрузили пластидом и через фирму заказали доставку, из-за этого погиб водитель, и семья, это говорит о качестве вашего контента, я уже давно замечал не особую объективность в ваших роликах, но это уже показатель вашей отрешённости в изучения материала.
Although he has great material and visuals I also noticed a lack of objectivity when it comes to newer videos. I do watch all of the channel's videos but I tens to skip the modern day topics due to western bias. This is why I would advise all of the history content creators to skip the modern day wars and topics until they become the history themselves. Only then you will be able to study those events without bias.
I loved the Advance Wars reference at 15:17!
It's sad that you didn't mention Russian drones like Geran-2, Italmas and Lancet. Especially because a lot of western mbt's sent to ukraine were knocked out by Lancet(like Leopard 2 and Challenger)
It's kinda bias not gonna lie , these Russian drone systems have tons of kill cam footage on telegram , 4chan and twitter
Educational and informative. Nice work there! Keep it up, chaps!!!!
Why no talk of Lancets? 😂😂😂
Damn educational stuff. Now he has not only a target capture system, but also a thermal imager for the night time of the day.
In my opinion, the only drone at the moment that has been able to evolve several times in its short time.
Lol seriously. He skipped mentioning THE drone of the war but didn't forget to put the image of Russian soldier being chased by a drone as a video thumbnail.
Great compilation! Thank you for your effort!
Sometime soon, someone's going to watch Star Wars Episode 1 and say "Oh, that's a great idea!"
Honestly I think it will balance out, or even that drones will go back to being obsolete. It’s like that Dr Seuss book. Some guy gets a stick so you get a slingshot etc. The longer drones are on the battlefield the more people will have the capability to counter them. Let’s use the convoy example from your video. Imagine having systems in everyone of those trucks that disrupts those drones sensors and make them fly all haywire.
I believe this has happened to Ukraine and Russia to a limited extent.
Bayraktars now need harms and SEAD and gepards and such probally aren't fun for drones.
Wouldn't surprise me
Great work lately. I've been loving the topics.
Hey, why weren't the shahids mentioned? Or Russian lancets, which are a little homing in on the target? If I'm not mistaken, it was from the lancets that the Leopard was shot down. Examples of drones from other countries ?
Shaheds are basically low cost low performance cruise missiles and thus not really a drone, Lancet is a loitering munition since they usually only attack when a different reconnaissance drone has spotted the target.
Right now drones are dominating but with time they’ll stop being meta due to new techs to counter drones, weapons don’t stay meta forever.
@@dannyzero692both shahed and lancet have proven that they are the most effective kamikaze dronesnin their category bruh
@Bababoy6969 Not even remotely close to true. The Bayraktar single handedly took down the 60 mile Russian convoy that was supposed to take Kyiv, the Reaper drone managed to dislodge ISIS from hundreds of positions, etc.

@@DonetskChildrenBidenBomba the 60 mile russian convoy wasnt even destroyed bruh it pulled back do you even follow the conflict? Not even ukranian media said they destroyed it💀
With the ever-increasing chances of global conflict in the coming years, I am more worried about drones within the battlespace than anything else. The idea that 3-5 $50 drones-bought on Amazon-can eliminate a whole infantry platoon, is terrifying. While they won’t be the focal point of warfare, they will assuredly alter it, forever.
Fortunately, we're probably not at that point. Drones like that lack capability and the most prominent use of drones continues to be in recon at that level. Not to mention, that the EW defenses on there are still plenty able to keep that from happening as well.
In any case, it's best to look at drones as the new machine gun. The battle space is forever changed and there's now nowhere to hide. Information's place in warfare is now magnified as at this point, if you can see it, you can probably kill it.
Cool animation as always, can you do the battle of Samar the next time? It’s one of my favorite naval engagements .

We've seen Lancet Kamikaze drones take out the highly prized Leopard 2A6's, it's safe to say they are the future. And those are only the Lancets.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 (2012) predicted quadcopter drones, swarm tactics, and autonomous weapons being the future of warfare.
Mfw its nearly 2025
Just my thought as well. 😮
Surely Lancet and Orlan had an impact as well.
Imagine warfare being more like a video game now, except the destruction is for real.
We don’t have to imagine, the amount of kamikaze drone footage during the war in Ukraine already made it look like a video game.
We'll see Ghost Recon Future Soldier's Warhound before we know it
This is why I'm scared of AI going rogue. Not because of a giant robot army but millions if not billions of drones patrolling the sky across the globe killing any human in site.
This is good and well researched video. I have wrote Master Work in AI for military use in 2021 and pretty much everything that was said here corelates with my research from back then. I would like to add few more things, more related to AI than drones but seeing how these two are very close together I wanted to share few more details.
-the statement that we would not see such fast takeover of drones in military's is correct but mostly because the public backslash that happened in the US. I have read an instance where Microsoft programmers quit their company after learning that they have been developing AI for the military's. Stating that 'machine should not be given right to decide to kill a human', and it is a main reason why US progress in this field has been slowed down even after several very successful tests being preformed (one of them included unmanned F-16 with an AI that was able to fly it without much issues).
-but then again this only applies to the US where public outcry happened. As for the rest, in EU there was no mutual agreement between member states regarding drones or AI research for military's. Russia was testing remote controlled drones with guns in Syria and wanted to invest in mini robot army to protect it's vast borders. India started to invest heavily into the project but they were only starting at 2020-2021. And in the end China was one that was not investing heavily in this field but being close to the US or even ahead in some areas as the same public outcry in the US did not happen in China. And giving it is 2023 in my opinion only China and the US are still heavily investing in this area, everyone else are too busy with other things, I am only not sure about India but we shall see in a year or two if they have some results to show.
-the video presented well how things are now but like hinted - this is only the beginning. What is planned next is AI and drones replacing human element entirely in vehicles of any kind. China is planning to remove human crews from tanks and submarines and replace them with either swarm like AI or remote control humans. The US is testing this as well but on warships at sea and fighter planes, their plan right now is like shown in video - one F-35 that is being piloted by human pilot followed by four F-16 piloted by AI that is controlled by pilot of F-35 and act like swarm on his command. But do take note that this is not something that will come over night, this is planned for the rest of this century. And it might change depending on the situation in the world.
-Overall my personal opinion is that drones and AI will be integrated more and more for military use in the coming decades. It is only natural if you have such tool at your disposal you will use it more and more. And I am fairly certain that bigger AI control will be enforced to prevent possible 'scenarios' of military AI either being hacked or going haywire and firing on it's own allies. So while it will take bigger role in the military it will not replace human soldier. After all, after you bomb a city to oblivion and destroy all their equipment you will need to enter the city and occupy it, and machines and drones cannot do that at all and I doubt they ever will.
Damn Obama must love this
I love your channel keep up the great stuff

Another amazing video! Keep it up with the amazing content!
all i can imagine is giant airships and air commands in the air , where people control and provide radio connection for the drones while the fighter jets protect the airships and command centers
I am a huge fan of pilots. My favorite fighters are the F-15 to the F-22, with a lot of love for the F-35. But even I gotta admit, an autonomous 6th generation fighter controlled by a human hybrid AI system backed by a hiveminded fleet of advanced UMV would be the deadliest weapon in the world. Just one unmanned strike force would be unstoppable. Even dog fighting could be done autonomously. And since there is no human pilot, the AI can make the fighter go upwards of however much G Force the material of the plane can handle.
The way Drones are being used shows that ballistic anti air platforms like the German Gepard aren't obsolete as people said they were.
Slow flying targets that are way cheaper than most missile defences. Having anti aircraft guns would be better taking out swarms too.
With the us and israel showcasing working laser based AA systems they will soon become obsolete again. Platforms like the gepard are a temp band aid style fix untill proper solutions become operational. they are not going to stay here long term
I haven't seen small drones types which work together to combine different types of weapons. Such as explosive weapons to breach windows and roofs, followed by incendiary drones. Or larger drones dropping smaller drones to extend their range. I think we'll see dumb swarms soon, with heat tracking combined with pattern matching.

Drones will not be disgeraded as a threat by militaries which are already seeking ways to counter them, the russian have used their EW very effectively and they have also equiped some tank units with a new signal jamming device.
This is why despite their previous blunders and heavy losses, its better not to underestimate the Russian they are still considerably tenacious and formidable.

Great video
I am actually in college studying drones currently and it is interesting seeing what the drone professionals view is possible with current drone technology, versus what the rest of the world views is possible with drone technology. The main advantage I think there will be with drones is the fact that they are very hard to detect without active radar, and active radar is very easy to destroy in a military setting, with manned helicopters and fighter jets a person on the ground can usually detect them if the are flying at a relatively low level, but a drone flying even at the really low level of 400ft is vey hard to spot, let alone hear, especially when you take into account the extreme noise pollution of an active war zone.
Unmanned nuclear torpedo sounds funny. All torpedoes are unmanned, aside from some funky WW2 designs. Also, Advance Wars reference. Thumbs up.
Did his mention of drone swarms make anyone else think of those Protoss ships from Starcraft?
I believe that any use of military forces whether manned or not is exactly the same thing... the diplomatic repercussions of using drones should be the exact same as manned aircraft, especially when the orders are still given and made by humans at the other end. In my opinion if a treaty of this type hasn't already been signed or proposed, there should be a treaty stipulating that use of unmanned drones is the same as using aircrafts.
Please do a video on all the resons for the Japanese empire falling (not just America)
good one, again.
Drones and AIs... that always remembers me that Black Mirror episode with drone birds... and I have cold sweats
As an AC7 player, I can confirm Eusea’s presence has reached Earth
Taking the human factor/decision our of the nuclear response question???? I’m pretty sure they made a movie on that, called Terminator 3.
The sellout ad starts at 5:00 and ends at 6:12. Just a heads up
Fingers crossed we get something closer to Girls' Frontline where autonomous units suppliment infantry/armor on the ground instead of just skies full of AI planes looking to blow up a thing or two.
Funny thing is that the T-Dolls in Girls Frontline are weaponized civilian dolls that were originally used for hospitality services and also used for sex. So technically they are weaponized sex dolls.
"Gets sponsored by War Thunder for a video about drones"
"Doesn't even bring up that there are drones in the game"
Dice: hey you know what, we should make another WW2 battlefield, but with toy airplanes as drones as part of a killstreak
I don’t think I would go so far as to say that it is impossible to imagine warfare without drone technology. But it is highly unlikely.
Also “Drone” is a misnomer. A “Drone” is is an unmanned combat vehicle that operates on a preprogrammed basis.
UAVs are controlled by a controller and a human pilot is the one who pulls the trigger
Fun fact: Turkey sends UAV's into Greek air zone on a regular basis, usually making them raise a fighter jet. It's both annoying to mess with this and is a mess for maintenance in my view.

Acknowledged, for now Epic
Amazing video as always Armchair Historian. The drones are just like the aircrafts in WW2: they became a dominant asset for the war efforts of a country.
So basically Skynet is becoming a reality
They should consider rebooting the Terminator franchise for one last go at it, with one concept being that a Genisys-like OS computer evolves into a Skynet-like AI supercomputer, which then evolves into a Legion-like global exascale AI ultra system.
intercontinental drones or drones mother-ships , swarm of submarine used for long distance seek and destroy missions for hunting freighters
following the old military adage ..."don't hit the head ..hit the crotch "
What's with the thumbnail ?
Fully Autonomous Drones make Ace Combat 7 Fans shiver in their g-suits
Good video 👍
Makes you realize how modern the past was just kept getting updated from ww1 to present.
13:13 "Carrier has arrived."
As I see it, we could see a Ace Combat 7 scenario if the instructions given to the UAV's are too vague or could be overriden by an administrator UAV that has more access. And now imagine if it had the capability to cast data to other UAV's like the ADF-11F's could.....Oh god, where are we heading to?
Arsenal Birds. Arsenal Birds run by the AI based on Mister X’s data. And we don’t want that. We don’t want that at all.
@@rookcapcoldblood2618 Yup. Until an undisclosed PMC or some other pilot offers their data gathered through AI 💀 (Which....considering how fast AI is evolving, won't take too long too occur. I mean they're already working on the Wingman drone progrmmes sooo....)
4:30 Safety is on :)
good vid
There will probably be a Geneva Convention on the use of military drones soon
So effectively future automatons are projected to be used as soldiers were and promoting human soldiers to commanders of drone squadrons.
Begun, the drone wars have
I remember ghost recon breakpoint drones were so difficult to fight that they actually reduced the number of them from the game despite the enitre setting being about that.
Why werent the lancets and shahed kamikaze drones which have prooven to be the most effecting in that category dont be biased be fair next time
bro didnt have Lancet here
Can you make a history of Finnish univorms?
As a Ukrainian who closely follows the course of the war, I can say that drones will definitely become an incredibly large part of the armies of the future, and will further increase the gap between developed and not so developed countries. The main thing in using drones is to create a real-time communication system. Ideally, even with the use of AI.
So that if an enemy tank appears on the battlefield and is spotted by a drone, the operators of anti-tank weapons would know about it at the same second and destroy it.
The main weapon of the 21st century is information, and whoever gets more of it and gets it faster will be the winner.
No one wants to realize how fundamental these small drones will be in future conflicts .
This is only the beginning
One little correction
LoC means line of control and not line of contact
give AI a big access to military stuff the risk remains a famous “Terminator in real time”, but there is good funny fact: AI with stuff military will say to the world human "hasta la vista baby" Hahaha
Wow, we’ve been using drones since the 70s? I had no idea. Mind blown
imagine you are a Taiwanese soldier and a million DJI drones swarming everywhere with red light and plays "Red Sun in the Sky", even your own DJIs start to play it...
You ever watch Slaughterbots? We're headed toward that and it's frightening how normalized it's become.
