Drone Wars 5: Using Dedicated Military UAVs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- Consumer drones being used on the battlefield have gotten a lot of attention recently, but military drones have years of use to learn from. We talk to a MARSOC drone operator about his experiences and observations.
Can we start using proper names like fixed wing or quad-copter. Drone is a propaganda term for UAS extended flight vehicles
Next drone wars: anti-drone and direction finding.
So called military-grade switchblade drone just failed in Ukraine against technically equipped army. It’s designed to fight guys in flip-flops, not regular army
"I got an award sitation for it we can show it, I'm retired" doesn't show video.. well played
i would say t othe guy what you are accustomed to is already very outdated. they fought almost civilians with overpriced single digit drones. even US command admitted that they are completely not ready for the modern drone war
The US better figure out how to start making drones a lot cheaper or we are going to get out numbered very quickly in the next conflict.
Ukrainians and Russians both say they often can't hear drones above. They're used in such diverse ways you just never know what to think even if you do hear them
Next drone wars topic: DIY
drone balloons are quiet and can hover for hours . As for close-in observation, perhaps someone can further develop drones made out of "dead bird" ( it already exists but are experimental ) .
Those anduril toys are pretty cool
Your observations about people not really caring, or not really thinking about the threat presented by drones during the GWOT vs today in Ukraine are spot on. I've been teaching counter UAS since 2016, when we started almost no-one cared. As soon as all the fpv footage started coming out of Ukraine it was like everyone woke up all at the same time. Glad we collectively woke up but we're >10 years late to even acknowledging the problem.
Brand has just became even cooler than he was before. Fast operator AND drone operator? cool!
Honestly, I'm starting to like this channel more than the t-rex arms main channel.
Very cool video and enjoyed hearing Brandon's experiences. I myself flew the MQ-1C for the Army for several years, I wasn't a cool door kicker but I got to engage my fair share of targets and coordinate with some of the platforms mentioned here while in Iraq. The future is definitely FPV quads and I love flying mine just for fun. The potential was recognized almost immediately a few years ago but once quads started being used on the battlefield its kind of thrown up a mini arms race. I love seeing groups like Prof-Worx trying to do the tacticool cqb avatas stuff.
Next drone wars video should be about anti drone tech etc.
Thank you trex team! We need more people like you
Not to be that guy.
i am loving this series!! thanks brandon for coming on and teaching us as well, i had no idea you went to iraq!
A fixed wing drone for civ use sounds absolutely amazing!
This video had more value than I expected. Thanks.
