"X" in aircraft designations (Example @11:17 the 'x-47b') usually refer to "Experimental". (i.e. Hasn't yet received it's official designation of "F", "B", "C", "MQ", etc) I love drones, they're scary, but I love them. I worked with quite a few different drones when I was in the Air Force.
@TimmyPruitt166 it varies, but that is an average from known projects. Most x planes are technology demonstrators. So their main focus isn't even to make a full aircraft but to unveil and prove a piece of tech that different companies make is ready to be used. Another section of x planes are those that are used strictly for research. These planes are made to see how different system integrate, how different designs deal with air flow and turbulence, how different engines work strapped to a variety of different aircraft designs, or just to push our understanding of aeronautics and avionics. Then you get to those who are actually meant to be test beds for new fighters, bombers, multi-role, and recon aircraft. Now are things like advanced 3d modeling and simulations helping cut down these numbers, yes. Do you still need full-size test planes? Yes. The reason is that there can still be things that go wrong, just not in ways that can be seen in the simulation.
What I heard once was Turkey makes the Toyota Camry of drones. They know how to make a not very advanced drone but they're reliable and pretty cheap so smaller countries can afford them.
Turkish Bayraktar are very capable for the money. Keyword "for the money". Bayraktar engines are now designed & built in Ukraine. Speed & range is slow & low compared to the big players. Problem is slow drones get shot down easily, as Russia is now doing to Bayraktar. Bayraktar is currently relegated to reconaisance in Ukraine, they are now quite readily targeted by if they get too close.
Turkish Bayraktar is very capable for the money, it's much slower & lower range than NATO & Isreali competition but they are cheaper. Russia now shoots down most Turkish Bayraktar TB2 which are now only used in Ukraine for stand off surveillance
It's not that they aren't advanced. They are better (and more expensive) than Russian or Iranian drones, but worse (and less expensive) than US and Israeli drones. This can give them an advantage, as you don't always need the best drone to do a job--you just need a good enough drone, and the lower price than the top shelf means that you can buy more of them. Turkey's drones sit right in that "good enough" spot for virtually anything that most militaries will be doing, so they are pretty popular.
Turkey has been solid in the drone market ever since the start of the war in Ukraine. They were, initially, the Ukrainian's primary supplier of drones. Since their drones were doing so well compared to the Russian ones, Turkey got a lot of good press and feedback from their use. With orders from around the world and data from Ukraine, they have been able to develop their drones quite significantly in the last 2 years.
The predator is extremely expensive, big and easy to spot. Why keep using predators and lose them when you can do the same thing with much cheaper and replacable drones?@@TimmyPruitt166
Turkish drones has been in active use in syria, libya, azerbaijan and in kyrgyzstan before ukraine. Ukraine was a good stage for them that got a lot of attention.
Just subscribed after lurking for a while. Solid content. Also, you're hilarious. You intonation/accent along with your commentary is totally entertaining
Turkey is in a complex position where they have political tensions ramping up both with Russia and NATO, meaning they want to become more capable of independently developing and maintaining their military. Given drones can be relatively cheap yet quite effective, a relatively lesser economic power developing a strong production base for them seems like a pretty reasonable strategy to making themselves more militarily capable. Whether or not they actually intend to use the drones in an aggressive manner toward non-extremist forces is somewhat up for debate. They are certainly a power that has historically had a lot of friction with others in the region, and especially the Balkan states. Given the geopolitical situation over there right now, they could easily face a future war either with the Balkans or the Middle East, whether or not they are actually responsible for it breaking out, though, and for a country in their position, it is probably just sound policy to ensure they are capable of addressing the issues in question if they need to. That said: their relative push for independence in that regard *is* a slight cause for concern in and of itself, given it could easily mean they desire the ability to act without the approval of international bodies such as the UN when it comes to perceived security threats. This is something which could lead to other powers being drawn in simply as a result of the hornet's nest having been kicked. Of course, they *are* actively facing Kurdish extremists in the Eastern parts of their home territory which have been periodically committing acts of violence for many years, now (which is a complicated mess that I won't get into the background of, here), and one could also just chock the development of drones up to a desire to not see their military facing unnecessary casualties in order to suppress them (which would essentially be them mimicking the US).
Watching any kind of aviation video always gives me ideas for "future air systems". Could you imagine an "AQ-60 Bot Hog" and unmanned version of the A-10 Warthog?
NASA use Global Hawks as well. They fly them over hurricanes at high altitude and keep them there, criss crossing the storm or circling it for 36 hours before swapping out with a new one. Gives them extensive real time data directly over the storm. The Global Hawk is a beast. There are some great drones out there but the US seems to have a bullet point in their design guidance that reads: "all designs must look badass as hell." All of them have amazing lines and are sexy looking things. The reaper gets the most press. The rest are not talked about much. The newer Gen jet powered drones are incredible. Especially those with theor own drones. Networking all of these together creates a swarm over the battlefield giving real-time video and SIGINT which is a massive advantage. They can target and track targets and direct other planes or drones in to attack. Handing off to other swarm members as needed. That refueling drone especially is a game changer. Carry the tanker with the carrier, long range and refuel the ships planes. A squadron of 4 can basically get 1.5x effective range off that.
The British drone is also supposed to fly autonomous missions using A.I. As soon as I heard that I was like, "Have these idiots not seen The Terminator"!!!!
The Aussie Loyal Wingman has a primary mission to accompany their F18 and F35 allowing them to, in effect, have several fighters worth of missiles on call with only the one pilot. Then they share radar data and the enemy is toast.
It's not as easy as that. It's pretty easy to have a Blackbox system backup that is checked against. Also signals piggybacking on the drone control frequency are not hard to notice allowing an autonomous system to return to home disallowing all command inputs. They do think of these things a lot.
@@mycroft16 For sure! But if folks can hack Microsoft and other big name tech companies, its possible someone could hack a drone of war! I hope it never, ever happens but the what if!
There's a couple interesting project for drones, one is the eurodrone but it's going sloooooooow because it's leonardo/dassault/airbus, the other is the leonardo skydweller that even if mostly for civilian use, has an autonomy of... forever. It's solar powered, you put it up and it will go (pretty slowly tho... 25-50 kn @14k meters)
Geopolitics around turkey are very complex but my understanding is several things drive Turkish military technology. 1. They are a member of NATO meaning they are required to maintain a level of advancement 2. They are under “threat” by nations on multiple sides that they consider hostile. Specifically Russia, Greece, Israel, and Syria. Not 100% on those 3. Though a member of NATO the relations with the US are not as good as some other nations, contributing to the desire for them to manufacture their own weapons systems rather than rely on purchasing mostly US, British or French weapons
Probably because there's still highly classified, but I'm surprised the video didn't even mention the RQ-170 or RQ-180!?! You should look those up and you'll see the absolute tip of the spear when it comes to some newer ISR drone technology! 😉
I enjoy your videos. I would ask if possible to set the video audio on the same level as you speak. I hear you perfectly but the volume is always to low on the video and I miss the details. i usually go to the original to hear the details. Thanks so much.
americans have been working on stealth for so many decades now that they just continue that tactic on drones and continue pumping out the most futuristic lookin shot
6:37 The AI they are talking about on the Loyal Wingman drone, just allows it to figure out how to do assigned tasks the most efficient way possible. It is not a general AI.
I'd be interested to see your reaction to the youtube short film SCP Overlord. If you're unfamiliar with SCP, it's a fictional organization that works independently of any world government to secure and contain supernatural artifacts, entities, etc. The short film is essentially a spec ops group going after one of these entities and I like a lot of the authenticity of the portrayal of the specific spec ops group, even if sometimes they don't do things properly, likely for cinematic affect. The point is, it would be a unique video that I think your commando background and commentary would make better.
you keep forgetting to turn up the vids audio while recording. If it wasn't for the closed captions I hafta turn my volume up way too much and when you talk ...whew... my ears. Them back to the vids almost inaudible sound.
There's really no telling what the drones of the US can really do. Unlike Russia and other countries the US tends to underestimate the capabilities of their platforms
There isn't a huge technology gap between the best and the cheap drones anymore. Stealth technology is widely known now and it's not that hard to obtain em absorbing paint or to design drones with as little radar surface area as possible. You just make the drones that fit into your own country's doctrine.
It would be fun to meet you, I’m an old fart that never had a chance to serve, but from a military minded family. My great or ?, great great grandfather was a Royal Marine!
X-62 vista is a AI piloted F-16. Other US drones that use AI are Stingray, Valkyrie, Perdix micro drone swarms, QuarterHorse, Fury, Coyote 2 interceptor drone, Roadrunner, Roadrunner-M, Fire Scout, Ghost 4, RQ-180, Longshot is a air launched UCAV armed with air to air missiles.
well, the founder of company from turkey that make all those drones you saw in video the founder went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology ONE OF THE BEST ENGINEERING SCHOOLS IN THE WORLD. also, NK showed two new drones it has which has and they are copies of USA Reaper and global Hawk drones.
I'm sure the inventor of the rifle is still triggered in his grave just as much as you when soldiers from other countries were using his invention to kill people without paying any respects! The audacity!
I seen a video where they used AI and piloted a f16 drone. Capable of doing more than piloted version. More meaning higher g maneuvers that a pilot can't physically do. Imagine a squadron of f16 loyal wingmen for the newer jets.
This list isn't really accurate. The top 2 are, but they are missing the Heron, which is somewhat more advanced than the Predator (one of the Heron designers named Abraham Kerem left the IDF and moved to the US, where he ran the program to build the Predator as an American version of the Heron); it's larger, has a longer range, and is more expensive though. These are used by a ton of nations, and were actually purchased by Turkey to be re-engineered into their entire Bayraktar line. The UK's indigenously-created drone is called the Watchkeeper WK450 and it is pretty good. It's a joint project by Thales and Elbit to create a UK variant of the Elbit Hermes 9000 drone. This is typically unarmed, so it wouldn't be on the list of this video, but they are crammed full of highly advanced sensors, radar, and electronic warfare systems. The UK variant is smaller, with about half the payload, but it is much cheaper to operate than the original system.
@@tetefather No, Turkey still uses Herons for their air force, despite their Bayraktar market. They bought the Heron in 2009, and then released their functional equivalent, the TB2, in 2014, based on their study of the Heron. Turkish drones are lower quality than Israeli or American ones, but this isn't really a disadvantage. They specialize in the mid-market, where they don't produce the best, but they produce very good drones that are significantly less expensive than the best. You don't typically need the best drone for a task, so their cheap and "good enough" niche is actually very smart. If a nation can buy two top tier drones, or three very good drones, for the same price, it often makes sense to buy the three.
Yeah, the German tigers and panthers were much higher quality than their cheap Russian counterparts but we all know how that situation ended. Besides, Israel will no longer have a drone industry if they continue to genocide their way through the middle east anyways.@@thesarcasticliberal
This comment might get buried, but two of my friends and I saw a drone (maybe?) flying in Minneapolis late at night that looked almost entirely cloaked/reflective with the night-sky; we could only see an outline. It looked extremely similar to the x-47 and was completely silent as we watched it for about 15 seconds. Most wild thing I've ever witnessed with my own eyes. There's more tech advancements out there that we surely do not know about! Thanks for the videos man I truly love them!
ruclips.net/video/0yr-LaMhvro/видео.htmlsi=xERF-VVdLsKOAB2R Above is a video of the 2003 Air Campaign of Coalition Forces on the city of Baghdad. It was the beginning of "The Gulf War" in Iraq. Maybe this would make a good video reaction? Just a suggestion from your newest subscriber. Enjoying your videos.
I'm a former F-15C pilot in the USAF. I don't think drones will replace pilots, rather they will assist them. I see it evolving to where a single pilot has his aircraft, an AI wingman, and a flurry of other drones deployable by either plane that are mission specific.
You're making a huge mistake if you're thinking Boeing has UFO's. Why? Simple. The 737 Max. That aircraft they have that notoriously has a lot of problems with it because they tweaked a bunch of stuff on it and they can't get it to work. So instead of cutting losses and making a more suitable replacement, they keep trying to tweak it and pay out lawsuits for accidents all involving the 737 Max. Final Destination was Final Destination because it was death changing all sorts of probability to get the person to die. Death would have to do absolutely nothing if the characters boarded a Boeing 737 Max. Turkey's also a bit infamous in some ways of "playing both sides." They usually aren't the main players in global aggressions, so I think they've found a niche and are literally capitalizing on it. The US and USSR/Russia gave the world guns, jets, tanks, and missiles, Turkey's basically set up shop and has gone, "You, Brazil. You need some high tech drones to push you into the modern battlefield? No? Have you seen what's been going on in Ukraine? We've got stuff that can do that and more. Thank you for your purchase. You, Italy. You want a series of drones that also can make your mama's bolognese while on route? We'll make that for you. Come on, it'll be great. It'll be better than the expensive American one and we can totally make it happen. Just ask the British. We made them one that brews tea and bakes biscuits on its way back." Okay, nothing quite that informal, but you get the gist. They're essentially the "China" of military drones, except like a step up. The stereotype of "Chinese knockoff" would kind of be the idea, but Turkey's just going development crazy and it doesn't matter who's buying them. NATO, BRICS, the enthusiast who wants to watch their entire farmland all at once....They're just becoming a world wide "Walmart" for military drones. Good for them, but there is the issue that they're painting themselves as a concern for the other powers that be. A lot of potential power is a power that will be monitored. Last bit, you need to realize that the War in Ukraine has kind of pigeon-holed the concept of drones in modern warfare. We all now think of drones being either a controlled flying explosive or an eye in the sky. The Stingray is one of those applications outside of those two stereotypes that we're not thinking of. You think about it, you can either airdrop supplies in from high altitude and have it get close to your troops, or send in a small swarm of cargo drones to deliver the cargo exactly where the boots on the ground want it. The major problem I'm seeing with the take over of drones in the sky is that any kind of war from here on out would literally be nations throwing money at each other. I'm not saying that's some how worse than throwing human lives at each other, but just the thought that war may come down to literally "Pay to Win" tactics.............Eh....kind of weird.
Turkey is had to get into the the drone and fighter making business because they have passed off the other NATO nations by buying Russian weapon systems. They had a bunch of sells to them canceled because of that, including the F-35 sale.
You don't believe that bullshit trumped up reason for buying air defense systems from Russia, did you? NATO and the US have always hindered Turkey's self-reliance anyway they can with more embargos enforced than they did to North Korea... Also Greece is also a NATO member and they bought countless s300 air defense systems from Russia but I don't see any embargos enforced on them? It's just a stupid double standard where the west never sees Turkey as one of their own so Turkey had to develop its own defense industry.. USA practically ripped them off big time. Turkey paid a lot of money for the f35s and was developing a big chunk of the components.
Both Turkey and Russia have asperations of old empires. Putin, when asked if he was trying to rebuild the soviet union said no, he is trying to rebuild the Byzantine empire. I would not be surprised if Turkey and Russia try to divide the black sea states amounst themselves. Turkey has a good chance of taking it all after Russia destroys itself going after the west coast of the black sea.
We're not living in the age of empires anymore lol.. and this isn't a hearts of iron game. You don't just go on a conquering rampage like Germany did back in ww2. Nobody wants a war and even if they did, there aren't enough men who'd be willing to die for their country.
I wouldn't say far in the future lol. The US has already devoted to being unmanned in the air by 2030 and is producing drones and handing out contracts left and right to do so. Also the reason Turkey has so many high tech military items are because of the 1947 Office of Defense Cooperation Turkey establishment. Meaning the US shares tech with them so they can develop them as well. Essentially all their military tech is from the US or based on US tech given to them for development. We have 13 countries that are corporates by the US so odds are if a 1st world state develops tech its probably from the US lol. (China and Russia included, they steal/buy US tech regularly, illegally of course) hence why most of their tech looks like our older tech.

Number 9,8,2 of usa are autonomos too. Meaning is not piloted by a human on the ground. The future is drones that fly themselfs.
X-62 vista is a AI piloted F-16. Other US drones that use AI are Stingray, Valkyrie, Perdix micro drone swarms, QuarterHorse, Fury, Coyote 2 interceptor drone, Roadrunner, Roadrunner-M, Fire Scout, Ghost 4, RQ-180, Longshot is a air launched UCAV armed with air to air missiles.
Quarter horse does not use AI it's a manned hypersonic aircraft coming from Hermeus
The b after the number is the variant
Every video he will mention UFOs
And every video he will name a different company he thinks has those UFOs
Pretty soon, we'll be developing SkyNet. xD
well, the founder of company from turkey that make all those drones you saw in video the founder went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology ONE OF THE BEST ENGINEERING SCHOOLS IN THE WORLD.
also, NK showed two new drones it has which has and they are copies of USA Reaper and global Hawk drones.
I'm sure the inventor of the rifle is still triggered in his grave just as much as you when soldiers from other countries were using his invention to kill people without paying any respects! The audacity!
😊 I feel special. I'm in the 10%. 😅
Im doing Machine Learning and AI is just a set of programs that does what you tell it to do
Am I first for once? Love the military reaction content, keep it coming! 🙌🏻
the F35 will come with 2 wingmen drones
i think they are #8
I seen a video where they used AI and piloted a f16 drone. Capable of doing more than piloted version. More meaning higher g maneuvers that a pilot can't physically do.
Imagine a squadron of f16 loyal wingmen for the newer jets.
I believe US has a fleet of X-62 vista AI piloted F-16s now.
I literally laughed out loud when you asked what the Brit Air Force are up to with drones. Sorry. But you're gonna have the US ones they sell.
No, they have the Watchkeeper WK450. It's very good for surveillance, although it isn't typically armed.
You don't have to train a pilot and with the constraints of a human body
This list isn't really accurate. The top 2 are, but they are missing the Heron, which is somewhat more advanced than the Predator (one of the Heron designers named Abraham Kerem left the IDF and moved to the US, where he ran the program to build the Predator as an American version of the Heron); it's larger, has a longer range, and is more expensive though. These are used by a ton of nations, and were actually purchased by Turkey to be re-engineered into their entire Bayraktar line.
The UK's indigenously-created drone is called the Watchkeeper WK450 and it is pretty good. It's a joint project by Thales and Elbit to create a UK variant of the Elbit Hermes 9000 drone. This is typically unarmed, so it wouldn't be on the list of this video, but they are crammed full of highly advanced sensors, radar, and electronic warfare systems. The UK variant is smaller, with about half the payload, but it is much cheaper to operate than the original system.
Half of the herons purchased by Turkey didn't work and Israel never sent any engineers to repair them. Complete waste of money for crappy drones.
@@tetefather No, Turkey still uses Herons for their air force, despite their Bayraktar market. They bought the Heron in 2009, and then released their functional equivalent, the TB2, in 2014, based on their study of the Heron.
Turkish drones are lower quality than Israeli or American ones, but this isn't really a disadvantage. They specialize in the mid-market, where they don't produce the best, but they produce very good drones that are significantly less expensive than the best. You don't typically need the best drone for a task, so their cheap and "good enough" niche is actually very smart. If a nation can buy two top tier drones, or three very good drones, for the same price, it often makes sense to buy the three.
Yeah, the German tigers and panthers were much higher quality than their cheap Russian counterparts but we all know how that situation ended. Besides, Israel will no longer have a drone industry if they continue to genocide their way through the middle east anyways.@@thesarcasticliberal
Nerds nerds get to fly drones my friend
Boeing gave Turkey some of them UFO's 👽 lolol
This comment might get buried, but two of my friends and I saw a drone (maybe?) flying in Minneapolis late at night that looked almost entirely cloaked/reflective with the night-sky; we could only see an outline. It looked extremely similar to the x-47 and was completely silent as we watched it for about 15 seconds. Most wild thing I've ever witnessed with my own eyes. There's more tech advancements out there that we surely do not know about! Thanks for the videos man I truly love them!
Kızılelma nerde la
Nerede olacak test aşamasında. Videoda sadece envantere giren üretilenleri kpymuşlar.
I love your vids! Keep it up my guy. Hopefully people get a brain and subscribe lol

Above is a video of the 2003 Air Campaign of Coalition Forces on the city of Baghdad. It was the beginning of "The Gulf War" in Iraq.
Maybe this would make a good video reaction?
Just a suggestion from your newest subscriber. Enjoying your videos.
Now im paranoid abt whats going on in turkey also! They are part of NATO but theyre suspect for sure
Done
I'm a former F-15C pilot in the USAF. I don't think drones will replace pilots, rather they will assist them. I see it evolving to where a single pilot has his aircraft, an AI wingman, and a flurry of other drones deployable by either plane that are mission specific.
You're making a huge mistake if you're thinking Boeing has UFO's. Why? Simple. The 737 Max. That aircraft they have that notoriously has a lot of problems with it because they tweaked a bunch of stuff on it and they can't get it to work. So instead of cutting losses and making a more suitable replacement, they keep trying to tweak it and pay out lawsuits for accidents all involving the 737 Max. Final Destination was Final Destination because it was death changing all sorts of probability to get the person to die. Death would have to do absolutely nothing if the characters boarded a Boeing 737 Max.
Turkey's also a bit infamous in some ways of "playing both sides." They usually aren't the main players in global aggressions, so I think they've found a niche and are literally capitalizing on it. The US and USSR/Russia gave the world guns, jets, tanks, and missiles, Turkey's basically set up shop and has gone, "You, Brazil. You need some high tech drones to push you into the modern battlefield? No? Have you seen what's been going on in Ukraine? We've got stuff that can do that and more. Thank you for your purchase. You, Italy. You want a series of drones that also can make your mama's bolognese while on route? We'll make that for you. Come on, it'll be great. It'll be better than the expensive American one and we can totally make it happen. Just ask the British. We made them one that brews tea and bakes biscuits on its way back." Okay, nothing quite that informal, but you get the gist. They're essentially the "China" of military drones, except like a step up. The stereotype of "Chinese knockoff" would kind of be the idea, but Turkey's just going development crazy and it doesn't matter who's buying them. NATO, BRICS, the enthusiast who wants to watch their entire farmland all at once....They're just becoming a world wide "Walmart" for military drones. Good for them, but there is the issue that they're painting themselves as a concern for the other powers that be. A lot of potential power is a power that will be monitored.
Last bit, you need to realize that the War in Ukraine has kind of pigeon-holed the concept of drones in modern warfare. We all now think of drones being either a controlled flying explosive or an eye in the sky. The Stingray is one of those applications outside of those two stereotypes that we're not thinking of. You think about it, you can either airdrop supplies in from high altitude and have it get close to your troops, or send in a small swarm of cargo drones to deliver the cargo exactly where the boots on the ground want it. The major problem I'm seeing with the take over of drones in the sky is that any kind of war from here on out would literally be nations throwing money at each other. I'm not saying that's some how worse than throwing human lives at each other, but just the thought that war may come down to literally "Pay to Win" tactics.............Eh....kind of weird.
Turkey is had to get into the the drone and fighter making business because they have passed off the other NATO nations by buying Russian weapon systems. They had a bunch of sells to them canceled because of that, including the F-35 sale.
You don't believe that bullshit trumped up reason for buying air defense systems from Russia, did you? NATO and the US have always hindered Turkey's self-reliance anyway they can with more embargos enforced than they did to North Korea... Also Greece is also a NATO member and they bought countless s300 air defense systems from Russia but I don't see any embargos enforced on them? It's just a stupid double standard where the west never sees Turkey as one of their own so Turkey had to develop its own defense industry.. USA practically ripped them off big time. Turkey paid a lot of money for the f35s and was developing a big chunk of the components.
Both Turkey and Russia have asperations of old empires. Putin, when asked if he was trying to rebuild the soviet union said no, he is trying to rebuild the Byzantine empire. I would not be surprised if Turkey and Russia try to divide the black sea states amounst themselves. Turkey has a good chance of taking it all after Russia destroys itself going after the west coast of the black sea.
We're not living in the age of empires anymore lol.. and this isn't a hearts of iron game. You don't just go on a conquering rampage like Germany did back in ww2. Nobody wants a war and even if they did, there aren't enough men who'd be willing to die for their country.
@@tetefather Tell that to Putin.
Original video is biased one
I wouldn't say far in the future lol. The US has already devoted to being unmanned in the air by 2030 and is producing drones and handing out contracts left and right to do so. Also the reason Turkey has so many high tech military items are because of the 1947 Office of Defense Cooperation Turkey establishment. Meaning the US shares tech with them so they can develop them as well. Essentially all their military tech is from the US or based on US tech given to them for development. We have 13 countries that are corporates by the US so odds are if a 1st world state develops tech its probably from the US lol. (China and Russia included, they steal/buy US tech regularly, illegally of course) hence why most of their tech looks like our older tech.
from the US you mean Chinesee, Indians, Europeans, Mexicans, Jews and even Arabs lol
