Van Helsing's Flying Crosses, working side by side with Vampire drones, to stop the hordes of Orcs. That sentence sounds so much more awesome than the horrifying reality to which it refers. Sigh. Stupid bloody reality.
well technically it is pretty cool on a technological level, and in the future it will probably be more interesting to learn about. That's the trouble with history. History is always more fun to learn then it is to live through when it comes to the history of war :s But there are some cool eras during peace time, and sometimes theirs horror in peace time too.

Greetings from Spain. These drones are something very interesting, "being immune to EW" only their sensors can be destroyed or blinded. Hard kill systems and sensors to detect drones are essential.
Lol Australia has them too. Defendtex D40 has been in Ukraine since near beginning, fully ai, ai drone swarm inbuilt radar with target identification and track multiple targets at once, soft kill and hard kill enemy drones and EW immune. Australia does have most advanced AI combat drone in the world MQ28 Ghost Bat too.

@Wes O'Donnel - Great reporting! One item that is getting swept under the rug a little bit in these drone discussions is that a human operator is not actually needed to engage the target. In fact, on Helsing's website it says "its ability to search for, re-identify, and engage targets, even without a signal or a continuous data connection,". So a lot of the defence firms are saying that a human has to be in the loop to make the final kill decision, but that's not always the case if the signal is lost. Don't get me wrong, I love these new tools and believe this is the future, but I'd prefer the defense firms be a little more upfront with the citizens about the use of AI in the final kill decision. Slava Ukraine.
Is it possible to upgrade cwis on to tanks or apcs. To take out drones? Idk if thats cost effective but would things like cwis work for taking out drones? If upgraded. Is it possible to install cwis on armored vehicles cheaper then using expensive missles to stop drones or enemy aircraft. Maybe upgraded automatic aa units with miniguns that can take outbdrones.

Thanks for bringing up the ethics of AI enabled robotic weapons. This subject demands extensive discussion now because we are only a few years away from AI weapons that will be capable of killing people by the dozens or hundreds at a stroke.
lol it has been here awhile, Australia has had full AI drones with drone swarm AI in Ukraine since beginning, one of USA aid packages was 300 of these Australian drones. for some reason i have only see one video of one flying in to a Russian tank hatch to blow it up.. Australia has been developing MQ28 Ghost bat for years and it is fully AI and does not even have joysticks for human control and has drone swarm capability..no one else has this in a big drone of this size yet in the world..
While 4000 drones does sound like a lot, I question the timeframe, they said 4000 starting about now. So when will they deliver the last drone? Days? Weeks? Months? Years?
OK --------- . In the future, a Drone operator will be operating a dozen drones at the same time using a 3-Dee Headset That allows him to just turn his head flying around the field in vertual-reality to over look the battle space his drones are in, pick out a target, looking at it and telling which drone to attack it from what direction as he goes looking for the next target... With at least one drone high out of jamming range but sill in contact with the other drones... using laser communications... In fact, Ai drones would be able to drop bombs with the accuracy of Komakazy drones without destroying the drones themselves... cutting the cost to the war-fighting country... With drones shuttling in and out of the Battlefield on there own without guidance and without the controller having to leave the Battle Space and losing track of the enemy...as new rearmed drones keep arriving as needed... This also gives the Drone pilots the ability to order specific ordinances for the Targets they are attacking... This ability would allow Ukraine to fight the battle from kilometers behind the front line... Allowing the minimum number of troops having to remain on the front... But even then almost invisible small remote Drone Ground Sentrie tanks would be able to replace flesh and blood troops saving lives from Russian 3-ton Glide bombs with kill radius of hundreds of meters even for concrete bunkers and concussion kills for a thousand meters that have killed thousands of Ukraine Troops... and are responsible for most of the Russian Advances over the last year since they have been introduced...
Is already here lol,, and operator does not need vr headsets like you say. fully AI can see for itself by target recognition and tracking software and operator can see what it sees from a computer terminal back in KYVIV.. Australia Corvo cardboard drones have hit targets 750km inside Russia territory before.. some of these are fully AI.. Australia MQ28 Ghost Bat said by every expert in field to be most advanced AI combat drone of it's kind is all you say but is controlled by a keyboard and PC back at a base and can control it 2000 miles away. Actually AUKUS have now demonstrated controlling fully AI drones from other side of the world. Australia has fully AI supply trucks, fully AI M113 military vehicles.

@@nedkelly9688 OK -- . A swarm pilot needs where every he is at on the planet needs a virtual free-roaming Helmit that takes all the information from all his drones across his Zone of control to make it easier to keep an over-all picture of the Battle Zone he is responsible for to quickly zoom onto Targets the AI-drones see and identify and then back out to see their Overall position in the Battle-zone in relation to all the other Targets up close individual videos can not show. Allowing the Pilot to pick the most dangerous target as well as the Strategy and timing that takes into consideration the Topography, roads and other obstacles for setting up priorities for taking out various targets in the most efficient manner. And even deciding some targets do not need to be attacked with his limited resources that may not even include the best weapons for some targets the Drones first lock onto or even retargeting droners when their target hits a mine and no longer needs hit... at least at that time... -------- : Hitting buttons switching between screens makes it almost impossible keeping a fast accurate track across his Battle Zone of a Dozen spread out Drones without losing track of sections and equipment that are easily and permanently marked in a Virtual Helmets vision simply by turning his head. looking at a target and saying "E-5 Attack from East. without jumping between screens. letting the Drones AI do the Attack as he glances around controlling the other drones... Quickly turning his head glancing back at the drone once in a while for a fraction close flash look second without "again" having to even hit a button or change a screen before returning to the over all Battle.
You know that the German Fritz-X was from ww2... riiight? Actually, Vader is father in German... I am personally a fan, but it was largely a space version of ww2.
Wes, a little volume please. When the ad comes through at double your volume it can't be my equipment. Is Precision Mass a new metric? You probably mentioned it, I just need to keep up. From Helsing 2 Dec 2024 Press Release, “NATO urgently requires technology to protect the integrity of the Eastern Flank. At Helsing, we’ve invested to develop this capability and give NATO an edge through precision mass. HX-2 is providing autonomy through software and AI - while retaining full human control and oversight. Electronic warfare had threatened to erode the ability to act, and we are giving this ability back to operators.” Scratched around but saw no more specificity to # of production sites than Europe, operations in Estonia, and Ukraine's Defense Manufacturers Alliance. Likewise no units to date. Seems a couple different consortiums are going full tilt in the space and Helsing is not necessarily the most dollared. Good for Europe. For Russia, you'd think one-eighth of Earth's inhabited land area across eleven time zones would be enough.
Comments like this remind me of just how much I appreciate my YT premium… haven’t seen an ad in over a year and my volume is always exactly where I like it
Lol EOS has been tracking space objects so small barely visible, for decades. EOS systems are in 1000's of NATO military equipment and is on multiple USA military vehicles.. look at remote weapons and might see is a EOS system. so Slinger uses the Bushmaster gun that is proven in many wars and then it uses EOS for target detection and tracking and is your answer..
I kind of doubt all of that - first, that we are capable of producing a new (and effective) weapon in large numbers at reasonable prices and deploying it to trained Ukrainian operators - let alone that it is AI based, second, IIRC it is completely against German law to develop a weapon that can make the kill decision by itself, which would be necessary if the weapon lost contact with its operator due to jamming. This all sounds a lot like marketing for a system that is far from being ready for mass deployment.
They look very cool, I was wondering if anyone would start making fighters like the tie fighters & X-Wings....when are they going to start on the big imperial star ships??? Like big flying cities like the carriers of the sea....hace a star bucks & a ???? Gattling canons whole lot of gattling canons..one thing all fighter planes have to have is....Brrrrrrr!!! Lol
Van Helsingin used these against vampires. BTW, Vampire is a light anti-drone system. But seriously, can AI drone be downed by any EW, or kinetic kill only? MHTK might be cheap, but it's still WAY more than a cheap drone. Aussie Slinger might be cheap, if it works...
Slinger is not perfect but it is the most accurate cannon available at present. Accuracy is vital with small targets such as drones. EOS has a demo video of Slinger. It's pretty easy to operate also. Cost per kill is low too. Limitation is basically range. It's not for long distances or very high altitudes. If I sound like I'm promoting it, yes. I have shares in EOS. What I've said is accurate too.
I think you'd have to deploy them where noncombattants aren't expected, like one of Russia's armored columns. I mean, is that Bedouin shepherd's son going to be driving his flock in the presence of Iranian tanks?
yeah that international interest in ai solutions made some projects universities here had for years reasonable and brought up investors for companies to highly speed up integration especially in the industrial and security // military branches. still its sad to see that the mostly nondigitalized germany deploys its shit on the battlefield first again.
Id be surprised if there were not deaths from ai drones already. In particular, UA's extreme long range ai drones based on ultralight airplanes targeting oilfields have almost certainly killed someone. Smaller ai drones zooming around likely have, too. Confirming that might be another matter.
Prediction - The defence of Taiwan will become Swarms of AI Drones vs Swarms of AI Drones. We had best step-up our mass production, because China probably already has.
German X-Wings - What a time to be alive
Yeah- future will be great...
Damn right.

MQ28 Ghost Bat has no joysticks, no human can fly it at all, only thing they can do is type commands in to it by a keyboard..
@@nedkelly9688 OK -- . A swarm pilot needs where every he is at on the planet needs a virtual free-roaming Helmit that takes all the information from all his drones across his Zone of control to make it easier to keep an over-all picture of the Battle Zone he is responsible for to quickly zoom onto Targets the AI-drones see and identify and then back out to see their Overall position in the Battle-zone in relation to all the other Targets up close individual videos can not show. Allowing the Pilot to pick the most dangerous target as well as the Strategy and timing that takes into consideration the Topography, roads and other obstacles for setting up priorities for taking out various targets in the most efficient manner. And even deciding some targets do not need to be attacked with his limited resources that may not even include the best weapons for some targets the Drones first lock onto or even retargeting droners when their target hits a mine and no longer needs hit... at least at that time...
-------- : Hitting buttons switching between screens makes it almost impossible keeping a fast accurate track across his Battle Zone of a Dozen spread out Drones without losing track of sections and equipment that are easily and permanently marked in a Virtual Helmets vision simply by turning his head. looking at a target and saying "E-5 Attack from East. without jumping between screens. letting the Drones AI do the Attack as he glances around controlling the other drones... Quickly turning his head glancing back at the drone once in a while for a fraction close flash look second without "again" having to even hit a button or change a screen before returning to the over all Battle.
It would have been very ironic if it had been a 'Z' shape drone.......
You know that the German Fritz-X was from ww2... riiight? Actually, Vader is father in German... I am personally a fan, but it was largely a space version of ww2.
You all already knew this, yes?
@@coodudeman
Of course, nothing new for me.
@@BewareOfTheKraut i would put money on the Fritz-x being at least part if not the entire inspiration for the x-wings
@@coodudeman
Wouldn‘t bet against you. Rheinmetall naming their new MBT „Panther“ rings a bell, too.
@@BewareOfTheKraut ha! I was unaware! Nice
Video starts at a 1:35 seconds as much so as it ever gets going
It starts at 0:00
I bags the Millennium Falcon...that ships ...mine!!..like the sea gul..mine, mine, mine...mine,mine..lol
Wes, a little volume please. When the ad comes through at double your volume it can't be my equipment. Is Precision Mass a new metric? You probably mentioned it, I just need to keep up. From Helsing 2 Dec 2024 Press Release, “NATO urgently requires technology to protect the integrity of the Eastern Flank. At Helsing, we’ve invested to develop this capability and give NATO an edge through precision mass. HX-2 is providing autonomy through software and AI - while retaining full human control and oversight. Electronic warfare had threatened to erode the ability to act, and we are giving this ability back to operators.” Scratched around but saw no more specificity to # of production sites than Europe, operations in Estonia, and Ukraine's Defense Manufacturers Alliance. Likewise no units to date. Seems a couple different consortiums are going full tilt in the space and Helsing is not necessarily the most dollared. Good for Europe. For Russia, you'd think one-eighth of Earth's inhabited land area across eleven time zones would be enough.
Comments like this remind me of just how much I appreciate my YT premium… haven’t seen an ad in over a year and my volume is always exactly where I like it
Another mention of the Slinger - but is it any good?
Lol EOS has been tracking space objects so small barely visible, for decades. EOS systems are in 1000's of NATO military equipment and is on multiple USA military vehicles.. look at remote weapons and might see is a EOS system. so Slinger uses the Bushmaster gun that is proven in many wars and then it uses EOS for target detection and tracking and is your answer..
I got my Tribal Dragon from when my squad from the Jaeger Battalion in Swe. We all got a diffremt type of our Patch logo in different tribal styles 😂
I kind of doubt all of that - first, that we are capable of producing a new (and effective) weapon in large numbers at reasonable prices and deploying it to trained Ukrainian operators - let alone that it is AI based, second, IIRC it is completely against German law to develop a weapon that can make the kill decision by itself, which would be necessary if the weapon lost contact with its operator due to jamming. This all sounds a lot like marketing for a system that is far from being ready for mass deployment.
War has never been an ethical activity. Ethical warfare is an oxymoron.
anyone know how these things even fly with that x wing shape 🤯
They look very cool, I was wondering if anyone would start making fighters like the tie fighters & X-Wings....when are they going to start on the big imperial star ships??? Like big flying cities like the carriers of the sea....hace a star bucks & a ???? Gattling canons whole lot of gattling canons..one thing all fighter planes have to have is....Brrrrrrr!!! Lol
Glory to Ukraine. Love your content!
Ukraine could launch them from mother drones...
Yah think?
Israel's Point Blank munition also resembles an X-Wing
Winter logistics and artillery for Russia will be a nightmare hopefully
Good content but trying to relate this to star wars after the intro ☠️
Van Helsingin used these against vampires. BTW, Vampire is a light anti-drone system. But seriously, can AI drone be downed by any EW, or kinetic kill only? MHTK might be cheap, but it's still WAY more than a cheap drone. Aussie Slinger might be cheap, if it works...
Slinger is not perfect but it is the most accurate cannon available at present. Accuracy is vital with small targets such as drones. EOS has a demo video of Slinger. It's pretty easy to operate also. Cost per kill is low too. Limitation is basically range. It's not for long distances or very high altitudes. If I sound like I'm promoting it, yes. I have shares in EOS. What I've said is accurate too.
So whoever creates the strongest most mobile EMP device wins.
It's not just mobile it's full auto 😮
Then you use artillery
@@juhajuntunen7866 what artillery, my drones aren't affected by my emp.
I have, on my shoulder Quozkalcuautly, Aztec god. It is my nerdy tattoo.
I think you'd have to deploy them where noncombattants aren't expected, like one of Russia's armored columns. I mean, is that Bedouin shepherd's son going to be driving his flock in the presence of Iranian tanks?
Germans still have insane advanced tech.
yeah that international interest in ai solutions made some projects universities here had for years reasonable and brought up investors for companies to highly speed up integration especially in the industrial and security // military branches. still its sad to see that the mostly nondigitalized germany deploys its shit on the battlefield first again.
Id be surprised if there were not deaths from ai drones already. In particular, UA's extreme long range ai drones based on ultralight airplanes targeting oilfields have almost certainly killed someone. Smaller ai drones zooming around likely have, too. Confirming that might be another matter.
At least you got the Star Wars tattoo before the Disney buyout, if you had got one after that you’d be very *_Very VERY_* suspect.
We self even didnt know that we had them.
To Brad well said
Have you ever heard of a Lancet? It uses nvidia AI.
And how is that related to this Gernan drone?
i has wings as well even 4 of em 😅
2:24 Ethical standards? It's about war we're talking here, right?
Heroyam Slava!
Russia loses SYRIA to rebels! (I think)
Wes i only have one thing to say . . . .🖖😁
Lets get you to 100k subs!
Why are we copying the Russians? X drone is more moving parts to create more complexity. X drone is more surface area to create more drag.
Hey youtube don't be racist and stop deleting my comments it's not against youtube guidelines just for saying ( good 👍 Germany 🇩🇪 )
Ai this ai that, welcome to the business buzzword that also made it into the war!!
Its just an algorithm
Prediction - The defence of Taiwan will become Swarms of AI Drones vs Swarms of AI Drones. We had best step-up our mass production, because China probably already has.
Guess together with Norwegian + German 155 shells this will cause a lot of trouble in distance up to 150 km for Russian army.
I wonder if the CIA could build me a Mellennium falcon? Fastest hunk a junk in the galaxy...lol
yaa know,, M8. I learn something new on every single video u make, terrific channel. i rekkon 50k followers by new-year lol. Thanks wes
BLESS GERMANY
Better yet, from cruise missiles or fast stealth drones, like Valkyrie.
This guy actually name drops a character from the awful sequel trilogy and the even worse animated series? Aight. Sub and thumbed.
