The EOD Kids initially didn't have a lot of 'drones' per se... they did al LOT of field improv stuff (usually the best way to do it IMO)... the -few- EOD Robots they had were insanely heavy, cumbersome and sl-o-o-o-ow. They needed a lot of support, were pretty fragile and the result? <br /><br />A couple of the guys went to the Souk and bought a bunch of 1/32 Scale chineaseum remote control toy cars... usually the monster truck variety with big, fat tires that could handle the shitty terrain. They'd just up n'slap n' strap a block of C-4 or equivalent on it, and run it to the I.E.D. and >kablammo< no more issue. <br /><br />The brass of course shit themselves over it... "Could be jammed!" "Not proven!" "Unsafe!" and a whole litany of why they COULDN'T do it... <br /><br />Needless to say they DID b/c the shit DID work. Within a few months/year? maybe if memory serves me, the Dycorpcacikbrgeneraldynamics INC models started showing up... at $15-50 K a shot. and most of them were down for maintenance or parts more than half the time. Whereas the Chineaseum Models were all of $50 bux a throw, and they EOD guys had gotten with some commo dudes who had worked on tweaking the remotes to keep them from being hacked.<br /><br />Well stated on the weakenesses of the bigger killdozer drones Aesop.

To ignore this fact puts us in the same position Poland was in when they met the advancing Nazi tanks while on horseback. I do think it would be easy to misunderstand drones and assume that they are super expensive and super susceptible to enemy fire and that is why they will fail and be useless in battle. Yes there are some drones like that. Now imagine a cheap tiny drone that can do only one thing and that is to search out and kill a single enemy soldier. Then imagine that China or Russia sends millions of these into battle. Or a small single purpose drone that simply hunts down and explodes ships, any ship it finds. And that the drone is used all over the world on day one minute one of WW 3 while the Russian or Chinese ships are all in port. Apply that same logic to drones designed to take down aircraft or land vehicles etc. In reality the problem of accurately understanding the possibilities drones bring to battle are only limited by your imagination and if you lack imagination you will correspondingly lack understanding of the potential threat.

Sort of like a modern day "siege of Vicksburg".<br /><br />That is what I think might happen if things get serious (I am no one special however, I am just thinking what might happen).<br /><br />Also, seriously, would a bunch of people on our side - even though individually they may own a respectable collection of firearms and ammo along with personal field and survival gear - really leave the security and comfort of their own homes and families and jobs to show up somewhere to actually fight - knowing the consequences of losing is being killed or in prison in a SuperMax facility for the rest of their life - without knowing for sure how many others will actually be there that show up. And even if they do show up ready and determined upon arrival suddenly somehow combine together into small effective fighting units to be able to take on an organized well funded attempt to put down an area wide 2nd Amendment rebellion.<br /><br />I don't mean to disparage anything anyone else says, I am just mentioning some things I think might need to be considered and asking some questions I have personally... And I am more than a bit depressed about all of this stuff going on...Wendy (KekistanTrans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02876812618540831676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-28083955394587871492019-12-23T19:53:08.560-08:002019-12-23T19:53:08.560-08:00Your best yet!

The military is finding that they take MORE people to run than an equivalent manned system. <br /><br />Stopping those unmanned land vehicles is even easier than you realize - the military's obsession with safety means that most of them have at least one 9and often several) big red 'emergency stop' button(s) that shut the whole system down. Hit it and the machine is a brick until the button is released and the system rebooted. <br /><br />It is interesting to look at what the Brits are doing with their nuclear sub fleet and missile base - due to security concerns all dependents live on base and rarely leave; unlike in the US, they are defensible.Jonathan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476185257203343474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-68783658525309392382019-12-23T19:10:07.235-08:002019-12-23T19:10:07.235-08:00Well said.

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...
