In April 2001, an RQ-4 drone flew from the U.S.A. and landed at the RAAF base at Edinborough, South Australia - all by itself (ie. entirely autonomous, if I remember correctly).
Cheers for the info mate, I live in Adelaide south straya
Couldn't agree more! It's an exciting and thrilling adventure.
sitting at the threshold in Kandahar watching these things take off and land was amazing. The first time i saw them the pilots were talking to tower and i thought it was a normal aircraft. Astonishing.
There’s nothing “amazing” or “astonishing” about a remote controlled airplane 😐.
@@lostinthedesert-hp4bw The costs for a poor man in Eritrea are astonishing when he considers the number of rolls or meters of sewing thread that he could buy for one drone. It's impressive.
@@jacekmandaryna7629 If I had a zinknod for every time a kankrip sloffed about fangweizeles I’d have enough tupits to buy 15 miglion wuisacros!
Just amazing.
10:02. Loving that twin-cylinder 'turboprop' engine.
Many thanks!👍👍
There’s no way this capability would cost 200M+ if designed with the technology available today. Just look at what Anduril can do with their drones. The old US defense contractors have been fleecing the US taxpayer for decades.
Huge Bird...amazing footage.
Yeah, sun glasses and a cool smile are a must for every soldier there... . Only the best stuff. You couldn't bring the numbers on the table China does for example. And why (USA is a great country with many great people! I have been there, even on the old WTC and Manhattan was a blast to me in 1992!)? You make the best Fast Food in the whole world. I don't mean the Mc D. - stuff but the really good stuff. American Pizza and so on. You have the most beautiful girls and women on planet earth. You are great. Why do you always stick your nose in other countries "things"? I know that common people won't do this. i loved many of movies created in the USA. I still do. I love many series. Breaking Bad. Legendary. But also movies from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and sometimes evene newer stuff. And so many great series. North and South with Patrick Swayze, David Carradine and so many others was, is and will always be one of my all-time-favourites. So many great actors, actresses, himan beings. Just great in so many ways. As a kid I even loved your military models of aircraft mainly and would build them. Although "war machines" every boy, nearly every boy, loves american old style toys from the 80s, for example. And so many wonderful legendary music. From swing to Rock 'n' Roll, 60s music, the psychedelic stuff of the later 60s and early 70s, Hard Rock and Metal, really great rap music although I am no real fan of rap. But Grandmaster Flash, Beastie Boys, 2 Live Crew when I was 12 or 13, Guns and Roses, - I couldn't count everything I love about the USA. And that's for real.
But why do your politicians and military just relax? They don't have to solve anything in the world. It wouldn't work and you saw it many times. Please. Set signs for peace. And don't let some super-richt "elites" fool you. And what are you doing with Germany? There wouldn't be many Germans in 50 years if it goes on like this. Why is your military still here? Why? We have no "Nazi-problem". We have other problems. Financial Problems, problems with immigrants who won't behave like gentle people. And too many for such a small country like Germany. Germans are peaceful for over 70 years. No one here who is (emotionally) intelligent is a right-winger, a racist or anything like that. But we got many extremists. And who tells our politicians what to do? Why? Why don't you just let good hearted people live their lives free? Please, people. Love, Peace & Harmony. Pleace politicians. Stop those wars. Make peace. The whole human world would profit. No one would have to suffer.
No one can put money in his grave. No one can buy health, or love, or be loved. And life is too short for all the sh..t that's going on. "When will we ever learn?" Love. And I believe in more than this "human" world. I won't hate any once more in my life. I won't. And nobody has to. You, the country of opportunities, formed a new lifestyle, a free lifestyle, and you were the first ones in historic epoche. So please remember. Don't let evil rule over yourselves. You could still be idols with your power and might. You could change the world for the better, for everyone, without war. I know it never would happen and I don't matter but I would love to spend an evening talking and listening, to have a conversation with an in my opinion very intelligent caring person like today's Elon Musk, for example. Or just with loving, gentle, good, true souls not matter who you are. Best wishes.
The Griffen MQM target drone appears to me to have a 2 cylinder internal combustion engine and not a turboprop engine in the description.
The fact that is is a UA-cam video makes me think this must be old technology.
I was thinking the same thing, how could locked panels to control switches not be classified, and same for major maintenance features?
☠BLACK BARON☠ 4:46 The Tech Signs on top of the V-Wings works.
Very nice!
Those downlocks look more expensive than my car.
Less video, more content maybe. Not sure how Globalhawk went from $10m flyaway to $230m... seems rather absurd. A 787 costs this much. Its an old design. WTF?
updated electronics
No a 787 is more by a decent amount and if you use google try and see there’s a difference between 2018 prices and 2024 prices inmate 1135809 ruined the economy
I always get a kick out of the Drone Pilots who dress up in flight suits!
😅
no kidding. i'd wear sweats and my house shoes.
It gives the same feeling when you see those pictures of cyber criminals with their balaclava on or wearing the guy fox mask.
Some of these clowns even get awarded “combat” medals and can claim “PTSD.” Imagine trying to explain that to a Marine who fought in the battle of Fallujah, Iraq.
Need beanies with propellers on top
Watched it fly around my location a while back and it looked like parts were falling off in flight. 😮
Just a beautiful bird
The landing gear locks 0:53 seem over-engineered compared to those log-on-a-rope chocks! You'd think they'd also have high-tech chocks or also use axe-hewn trestles or something. I don't know, the two extremes just struck me...
Yeah, landing gear pins are a fairly simple technology. I'm betting those things are just an extremely expensive revenue enhancement for the manufacturer. All you need for chocks is something wedge-shaped that's heavy enough not to blow away.
What is the significance of the various colored belts? Similar as the shirts on a carrier? Have any of them been shot down?
These drones are getting bigger. This is almost a regular Airplane size lol ;)
Those actuators were $500000 to produce.
Probably closer to $420069
Probably $17.95 at Ace Hardware®️™️
Looks like the Alien from the movie Aliens
Takes off like a U2, sounds like a 737. And Edward hijacks it for a pizza run! You can have an extra piece of pie for supper if you get the reference.....PS one on display at USAF museum.
I'd do the voice over for one thousand dollars....the subtitles alone inhibit actually watching the video bruh. Just 1k dollars and mic me up!
Love
VAMOS PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Space drones/drones in space!
What was it Super duper extreme mission? 😅
chouette on reinvente l'avion!
What drone at 0:07?
"Powered by a pusher turboprop" - my arse, that's a two cylinder piston engine.
Would not mind a penny for every C-130 hercules I have deiced in the early hours even sprayed ourselves to keep warm in the past
the future of private jet ,
buy a drone , get it redone at your convenience leave it at an airport , hire a drone pilot when you want to go somewhere

For 230 million $, you would think it could protect itself.
$230 million Drone. Must say the US MIC definitely has the best, most advanced, and most effective laundry service to extract tax payer dollar$ in the world
10-20 million $ is the actual cost

0:16 What is he doing?
Looks like he is holding an infrared thermometer, so he may be checking the temperature of brakes or wheels or something else.
Autonomous in five years ?
They were autonomous in 2001.
Why do the remote operators need to wear nomex fireproof flight suits?
Lipo battery explosion from remote control.👍🏼
Because they still have to go to the tavern after work and make up a bunch of lies about how much “combat” they were in 😐.
Semoga komentar saya dari warga Indonesia di dengar rakyat AS lebih baik As jangan pernah urusan dengan perang jadilah AS yang dulu fokus ekonomi dan industri supaya tidak kalah dengan China lihatlah produk China di Indonesia sangatlah banyak itu harus di jadikan pljaran untuk menyaingi China dengan cara apapun..
A lot of Chinese products in U.S retail. Many big stores depend on these products. Some stores sell almost exclusively Chinese products. Hardware stores like Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target. All big Name brand stores. Most Chinese products are of high quality and good value. Our countries are mutually dependent on this economic relationship. The relationship between U.S. and China have become tense. I hope we remain good friends and partners. I admire Chinese people.
Does it fly to Russian new borders?
لا تقل انها mq9فقد دفنت في رمال اليمن😂😂😂😂

Comme cela, il sera plus facile à abattre !
Snow crew. Hard at. Work. Getting all that. Snow. Off the. Runway. A. Tedious. Job.
Yeah. We're going to show everyone what we're going to spy on. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh brother 🥺

$230M???!! Ok.... ok... I hope it is worth it.
IRAN 2019😂
Me imagino para espiar a los rusos y los iraníes
$230 million dollars huh? I can think of many more things to spend that much money on and get way better results.
This is not the same one that Iran burned 😂😂😂
are you just teasing the chinese with this? lol
Are these real pilots who have been injured ands can no longer physically fly or drone "pilots"
Drone hunting drones ?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Not smart to be walking a missile round around without its lollipop.

About Mq9 in Yemen 😅
Yes it can spy, but where? Just above very very few defenceless nations.
Металолом ....
не позорься
That thing costs too much
Say that to the technology crammed into it
There is no way that drone cost so much money...methinks someone is on the grift.
Firstly, the globalhawk is retired so none are in production and only operated, it’s full of advanced technology for surveillance, it’s exported to certain allied nations so the money was already paid back, the F35 was designed to be exported so it’ll be cheaper comparatively
Apakah anda fobia teknologi komersil 🇨🇳
RC model aeroplanes:) what the cost if they are done for army? real cost is 500eur...for army 5000? :) good buissnis
မႂ်သုင်ၶႃႈ🎉🎉👍👍👍👍
Why are we wasting money on stuff like this when we have satellites ?
That's be friends with Political and that People didn't interesting really the Tax from People that decadent People. The most didn't know about 10 carrier how much Money but the best laying to People like normal 🎉
Not sure what the guy replying to you has been smoking but basically unless your satellites are in geo stationary or it over tour target you will need to wait for it/them to make a pass over that area, also there could be cloud cover etc.. that a steerable vehicle can counter manoeuvre around, you may also want to look at the target at a specific time of day or with sensors that the satellite that's available doesn't operate. It's adding capability, options.
Mi mi 8:19 @@pitmarkovic4545
Satellites can do any recon a drone can.
@@uberklodenyou sound so certain but are dead wrong
This $230 million US Military Drone is just another day's work at the office for all of the honest, hard-working and patriotic Americans from the Military Industrial Complex. But the credits must go to those brave and honourable congressmen/women who fought their hearts out to make sure the contract is signed, sealed and delivered. America's National Security always come first.
Oh wait! Almost forgot to mention that all team members get a share of the $230 million once the costs of production are deducted.
The real-world estimate for this drone is $50 million Max.
FOREVER WARS = FOREVER BONUSES for the patriotic senators and contractors.
При боевом применении совершено бесполезен,очень легко сбивается,там где есть ПВО ,просто дорогая игрушка Пентагона,одни понты и больше нечего
cuma gadang2 alutsita meski gitu selalu ikut campur negara lain padahan alutsistanya ga terbukti malah keok

caída bomba estados unidos
Iran made this drone dive into the Gulf waters 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
And then the Houthis shoot it down
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
230 million - I call bullshit.
This is something like the Bismarck. Too big, too expensive when either a determined enemy or a lucky shot will bring it down. Better to focus on a hornets nest of smaller, more agile Armada of lethal drones to deal with the numbers the Chinese can put up.
Crammed full of technology
The same as the 9/11 ………………………israeli drone
How can one drone almost cost as much as three F35's? If was shot down that is a big chunk of dollars down the drain.
Spare no expense so it seems when 34 trillion in debt. Remember it states this is for one drone. I'm for the military but there has to be limits to costs.
How much is a trillion dollars???? It is one million times one million. We have national debt of OVER $100,000 for every man, woman AND CHILD in the USA. Government spending is out of hand. Much of the military equipment is stuff we just don't need (except for funneling campaign donations to members of Congress).

No it said in the video 😅 🤦 globalhawk
It looks like some flying whale, In a good way.
As kaya tapi kekayaan itu bukan masuk ke negara sendiri tapi untuk modal negara lain berperang itu tindakan bodoh
Ah...pour tout détruire...vous en avez du fric...👎

$230 million droned assembled using Home Depot hardware. What a waste of American tax payer's money ....
People who fly drones should not be called pilots. To pilot you need to be in or on the vehicle. Should be called operators or directors
☝️ en espérant que les russes ne pissent pas dessus comme avec le rippers 😊 sinon il est très globuleux 🦃 !!
and iran shoots it down
