Jesus, even my prosumer drone doesn't have silly safety guards for the props.
So badass.

I’m very curious where these will take warfare.
I think these types of asymmetric capabilities are hugely important while we ramp up our other industries and reconsider defence contracts.
Ukraine is strong proof of how valuable drones can be in the field, countering highly expensive gear very well. Ukraines attacks within Russia with drones are a good example of just how hard it is to defend against this, and similarly Israel’s use in Iran to incapacitate air defenses.
I'm honestly surprised we haven't seen a mass drone attack in the US yet from a terrorist group.
It's just so fucking easy from a technology and cost perspective.
I really do not want to live in the world after something like that happens.
I can just see the Patriot Act like mass erosion of civil rights.
Like has already happened?
No, this time with mandatory AI-managed drone surveillance of everyone.
Imagine how obsolete these drones will be in 2033. It will be a waste of money at that point.
This isn't the first time critically needed equipment ends up arriving far too late to be useful because of the insane delays caused by the procurement bureaucracy.
Government procurement needs to trim some bureaucracy. By trying so hard to minimize waste we end up guaranteeing waste.
We could design and build our own for less and faster.
And we should build our own! Way easier than submarines or fighter jets!
