Tax dollars at work. No money for higher wages, healthcare or education
It’s from the UK, so none of your tax dollars at work.
The UKs tax dollars are at work then, their healthcare system always under threat and education system is getting more expensive by the year as well. Also, I doubt it will be long before the usa spends a few billion on these
Like a mini Apache gunship!
Rocket to the skyyy!
I can see 'em!
Nice to meet you, unknown violence
Why even bother with something as useless as this
A drone can do everything like this but better than any human can do and requires zero training but software which you can install on as many drones as you want
Or this which will take hundreds of hours to train up someone who you’d be able to take out with a well aimed sling shot
A drone can’t land on a ship and start clearing room to room can it?
Pretty well versed in modern warfare and tactics are you?
Why tho, because some GI Joe got bored of jacking off over the teletubbies?
The next day: Russia apparently ‘enlisting prisoners’ to the battlefield wielding flak cannons
Hmm now where is my ground Tesla Suit
Ukrainian tank crews wheezing after the electricity distributes throughout the tank exterior and eventually disperses into the ground:
Recoil?
Jetpack joyride?
Sneeze or hiccup to fire the gun.
Utterly worthless against an armed target, of course.
Try it against somebody standing stationary on the ground with a rifle while you try to line up a pistol shot in a jetpack that’s jittering around.
For 50 years we have been using helos to drop people to do so the same tasks, are those folk hanging out of the helo more or less vulnerable?
OK, the right reply this time.
Yes: soldiers fast-roping out of helicopters are indeed seriously vulnerable to fire from the ground. That’s why if they do that when they know there are people with guns on the ground, they will lay down heavy suppressing fire from the choppers or other methods of suppression. Also, it’s called “fast-roping” for a reason: you get your ass to the ground just as fast as possible, which means that if anyone is shooting at you, you try to make yourself a very difficult target to hit.
But a guy in a jetpack doesn’t have that option, he’s trying to keep the rig steady so he can line up his own shot. Without suppressing fire from other sources, the jetpack guy is boned.
That sounds like a good idea until someone is shooting back.
It cost me $150 to have a 3-minute Zoom conversation with my doctor.
But now we’ve got this I guess.
So flying AND catching hot brass in your face! Fun!
So a flying flesh target with no armor? Got it.
These were/are getting tested for boarding purposes, would the target be more or less vulnerable then the guys in the RIB approaching at half the speed, or the guy dangling out of the helicopter above the target?
There’s a big ol’ peroxide fuel tank on his back, it’s an exploding target. They should paint the tank red and put a flashing light on it.
