New BRITISH Drone Will Change Battlefield FOREVER!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2024
- Drones are becoming more a part of the modern battlefield and the wars of the 21st century are being increasingly fought with the development of new tech rather than on the front line. This is why the RAF’s Jackal drone is poised to be a game-changer when it comes to military weaponry. This UAV has proven itself to do a significant task that other drones can’t. This might be the difference between winning and losing a battle. Let’s take a close look at what that task was and what makes the Jackal so special.

It needs a self destruct capability in case it falls into enemy hands.
the designers would have surely thought about that
It's okay, the Turks already have everything they need about it and you'll soon see it sold to all of Turkey's 'friends'!
Yep we need the person operating to be able to dispose???..built in explosive that wrecks the evidence
Or the Chinese copy it and put it on Temu…
Havent sen Rusia or China doing this???...seen Russia using drones to drop Grenades on unsuspecting Ukrainian soldiers??
How would a £100K drone, firing £100K missiles, change the battlefield more than a £500 drone with a £100 hollow charge attached to it?
It could be armed with AT rounds that can penetrate and disable vehicles far more effectively than a small explosive charge as well as larger static or mobile targets. It also has semi autonomous abilities so it wouldn't need an operator for certain applications.
You said exactly the point. Its faster, more accurate, better stealth and most importantly It can carry better weapons, to take tanks out and bigger targets etc, it obviously depends on the objective but this drone gives them another option.

War is about have the most, not necessarily the best.
Nobody doubts the performance of the modern technology but it's expensive stuff that takes a lot of time to make.
It takes little more than a bike workshop and some kitchen chemicals to make a hollow charge.Any amateur with some basic electronics skills can assemble a FPV drone.
@@paulc176Can we please stop all this backward nonsense we read from you uneducated people today, anyone would think you're American, reading you, It's embarrassing, well unless of course you'd care to explain for us just how we can detect any of Russia's missiles, or any of their own stealth multirole aircraft, like the SU-57?
You know, that Russian rubbish, we all hear from the clueless Americans? I mean we see and read so many Americans endlessly claiming the F-22 & F-35 are so much better than the Russian SU-57 rubbish, (that relies on washing machine, chip technology), with the RCS of a Jumbo jet? LOL.
Regardless that they could not possibly know what the RCS is of any military aircraft, as they're always kept secret, but when you ask any of them, what they've ever seen the F-22, actually do, (that would allow them to hold that opinion), you'll find that none of them can answer that, (as they've never seen the F-22 ever do anything), well, other than flying over a beach on a UA-cam Video. So, all they actually prove is, their own opinions, are all based on absolutely nothing at all, right?. So, really, what is it all about?
And even worse, just like we read from you, they never even ask themselves the obvious questions, questions like, how can the F-22 or F-35's (for that matter) detect, track, and target enemy stealth aircraft from BVR, (beyond visual range)? The truth is, you'll come to find, they have no idea, whatsoever, LOL!
Yet, if they had just asked themselves that one question, then they might start to understand that today's reality, is nothing at all like they think! And seemingly none of them even understand, that stealth alone, defeats high-frequency (short wave), radar, by absorption and deflection, but it does not defeat low-frequency (long wave radar).
So regardless of the aircraft's RCS (radar cross-section) they all comically believe means so much, when they're being detected, tracked and targetted by long wave radar, they're far from stealthy, and they just light up, and stand out, like a beacon in the night.
To detect, track, and target enemy stealth aircraft from BVR, can be done with long-wave radar, (but it must also be enhanced), to remove all background clutter for targeting purposes.
Only what we find is, that neither the APG-77 radar in the F-22, or the APG-81 radar in the F-35, have no kind of long wave radar, (hence, they can't detect enemy stealth aircraft from BVR)! - This is an obvious fact, the US Air force will be fully aware of. Only it seems the reality is, when the F-35 radars were being designed 13 years ago, there weren't any other stealth aircraft to think about as a potential threat!
So, you must surely ask, just what do the F-22 & F-35, actually have available to them, to detect enemy stealth aircraft from BVR? They have AWACS, (that can transfer all targetting data to the F-22 & F-35's in real time). Only, that's not possible today. And this is why actually understanding your enemies real abilities, becomes extremely important, critical in fact.
Because, on the other hand this (Russian rubbish, they all claim), does have a new 5th generation radar, (with enhanced long-wave radar), their new Byelka (2band) radar used in SU-57. They can detect, track, and target enemy stealth jets from BVR very easily today.
Russia have designed, and they've developed, the first L-Band fighter radar we've ever seen. They've embedded L-band AESA radars into the leading edges of the wings. The L-band AESA radar "data" gets processed in real time (through extremely powerful Russian computers), being significantly enhanced, removing all background clutter, seeing them perfectly able to detect, track, and engage enemy stealth aircraft from BVR.
This new Russian technology, along with its very impressive range parameters, and it's jamming ability (over very large areas) make this aircraft deadly to all other aircraft types.
But according to all the Americans, it's just Russian rubbish, right?. Idiocy on full display.
They can also detect, track, and target enemy stealth fighters, long before they even enter Russian airspace, (from much greater distances today), with "real-time" data from all those massive Russian ground (long wave stations), that are all protected with the networked S-400 defensive system.
Russia's new (2band) radar, covers all frequencies across all channels, used for tracking, targeting, and also for jamming (over large areas). It's part of Sh121 multifunctional integrated radio electronic system (MIRES) on board the SU-57.
We should also understand, that Russia tested this new radar suit in the SU-35's, so they also have the option of fitting this radar into the SU-35's. Seeing the SU-35 at no disadvantage against either the F-22/35. As although the SU-35 can be detected, tracked, targeted and shot down from BVR by the US stealth fighters, the SU-35 equipped with this new radar is just as able to detect, track, target and shoot down the US stealth fighters from BVR.
Seeing the all-important, huge Russian advantage, in BVR missile range, plus the excellent manoeuvring, neither the F-22/F-35 have, as more than critical, (if you're going to avoid simply being blown out of the sky).
The truth you all seem oblivious too, is this new Russian 5th generation radar design, has very clear, and very real potentials, to provide genuine shared multifunction apertures, with applications including...
Search, track, and destroy, missile mid-course guidance, against low signature aircraft, identification of friend or foe with secondary surveillance radar.
Passive angle tracking and geolocation of JTIDS-MIDS-Link-16 emitters at long ranges.
Passive angle tracking and geolocation of L-band AEWC - AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges.
Passive angle tracking and geolocation of hostile (i.e. Western) IFF and SSR transponders at long ranges.
High-powered active jamming of JTIDS-MIDS-Link-16 emitters.
High-powered active jamming of satellite navigation receivers over large areas.
High-powered active jamming of L-band AEWC-AWACS and surface based search radars at long ranges.
High-powered active jamming of guided munition command data links over large areas. [Effectively, and completely, neutralizing the USA's use of AWACS for their detection].
The Tikhomirov NIIP L-band AESA radar, is an extremely important strategic development, and it's a technology which once fully matured and deployed in useful numbers, will render narrowband stealth designs like the F-22 & F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, and many, UAVs, as highly vulnerable to all flanker variants equipped with such radars.
But, but, but-- It's just Russian crap?, indeed it is! LMAO!
A Russian SU-57, flying well behind the front lines in Russian airspace, detected a Ukrainian SU-27, deep in Ukrainian airspace (heading toward Kiev), about 300 km's away, the SU-57 tracked, then fired a Russian (very long range) Vympel R-37 (NATO "Axehead") hypersonic air-to-air BVR missile at the Ukrainian SU-27, from a range of well over 250 km's, blowing it out of the sky, and smashing the previous BVR missile kill range world record, to utter smithereens!
The USA has had the F-22 in service for 19 years, and it finally made its first air-to-air kill in 2023, when it shot down a Chinese weather balloon. LMFAO.
Exactly my first thought, the West loves their gadgets, but if a single shot costs more than a whole kamikaze drone it's simply not worth it.
It's like comparing American and Chinese tanks, yes they might be better armored and armed but if you can get 3-4 of those other ones for the price of 1 of them... Just get the bigger number.
Every fight, battle and war come down to attrition, who is losing more material faster than they can replenish compared to the other side. If your stuff is more advanced/better, you might make the other side lose more, but if your stuff is cheap and easy to produce you might replenish faster.
The difference in technology needs to be massive in order to be relevant... For example stones are easy to come by in great numbers, yet their ability to diminish the enemy's numbers is so low that math decides against them, but a gun from 1940 gets the job done just as fine as one from 2020.
If your Anti-Tank rockets cost more than the enemies tanks you lose a little in the battle of attrition every time you destroy an enemy tank.
If only we could make advancements in living In peace at the same speed
No profit in that😞
I suppose there will be a day when we can politely ask the Russians to go home or the North Korean dictator to get treatment for his mental health requirements but until then we stick to the status quo.
We do but the tech is locked away from us
tell that to the terrorists.
Hahahaha what a silly ... Oh dear, the very idea! Next you'll be saying we should try to make sure nobody starves or gets sick needlessly!
What a notion!
I believe swarms of small drones are the future. They will behave like one entity with help of AI, but within that swarm different drones have different functions;'like command, scanning the environment, blocking enemy communication, firing weapons etc.
small is beautiful.
My thoughts?...this looks insanely close to an early prototype of the HK-VTOL from the Terminator movie series. I'm really starting to think that those movies were either a prophecy or someone time traveled back far enough to warn us about it through movies.
Yrrrr name is Jaaaahn Khonner ... Lead us, O Leader, and we shall faaallloh.
@@mikerodent3164 I mean sprinkle a bit-o-AI in and make about a million more...and I can't spot the difference lol
The thing is, James Cameron did an insane amount of obsessive research on what future tech warfare might look like. It is scary how accurate that research is proving to be!
@@gregsoddworld agreed. Cameron is a time Traveler. I mean the rest of the world is just fabricating crap on tv to choke down as fact. What's to say we don't? This settles it James Cameron is from the future. 🧐
there honestly is a point where weapons designers look at sci-fi productions, look over at each other and say in union "wouldn't that be fun?"
I'll look forward to buying this one in Argos
Hi, could always design and build your own!
Loved making RC plane.
You could make it 2 part and hover take off and then transition to linear flight and separate.
(That is what the rocket is doing though and I bet that costs more than a whole bunch of Iranian drones!)
Take care M.
Haha I love those little pens tho
I wonder how much each unit will cost (seriously)
Thanks for the metric conversion.
Crazy weapons designs but looks like it would also be great platform for civilian use like medevac and firefighting etc. It's stability looked really impressive in this demo.
I'm not sure I'd want to be Medi-vacced on the end of a drone...
@@allaboutkalergi5012 Seems like it could get a lot of places that you couldn't get a heli. I live in Alaska and we have lots of places like that that people get wrecked in all the time and a lot of them die because there is no other way to get to them. Maybe not ideal, but if it gets the job done...
Nowhere did the demo ever say anything about Medi-Vac capabilities. @@allaboutkalergi5012
Der Westen hat schon immer kriegsentscheidende Waffen gebaut die dann Null-Nummern waren. Auch diese Drohne ist mit elektromagnetischer Bekämpfung zu neutralisieren !
Amazon? (Deliveries OR Jungle medevac) :)
The fact this drone can move at 99mph whilst loaded with two guided missiles is insane. Imagine moving a bunch of these towards an armoured column. No need to push troops forward or worry about mines or even need a line of sight. This is some serious kit.
Im guessing traditional armor is going obsolete.
The future battle winners will have effective drone defence, capture and repurpose capability - financially asymmetric warfare e.g. a $20000 drone can take out a tank, a fighter or hold down the advance of a whole column will not last long in my view. The next step will be hooking these drones into automated AI-based decision support systems so you will, in theory, be able to achieve a military outcome without committing troops or treasure. All of a sudden the super-power system will be broken and small state/religious/ideological actors will have as much military capability as the larger countries or confederations. I’m not sure people really see where this will be in 10 years.
In what world is 99mph fast for a flying craft??? Even an old Cessna can do 170. Most 7 inch quads can go faster, and they're shaped like BRICKS.
@@MaxSMoke777 I think it’s 99mph, with the payload using current motor technology that’s meant here, don’t mean to speak for another - happy to be put right. The speed considerations become important when entering and exiting the point of surveillance / engagement and one would expect to have the drone assets deployed near enough to that point for the speed delta to not matter. Once in theatre the important thing is agility and accuracy not straight-line velocity. So fast in, engage with overwhelming agility and faster out?
@@MaxSMoke777 are those 7 inch quads capable of carrying 2 guided missiles at the same time thought?
The need for this machine shows what a dangerous world we live in. I worry about the future.
Well done John Parker. Absolutely amazing.
Thank you for giving units in metric system as well!
finally!
Only to appease the French. They generally throw a hissy fit when only imperial measurements are used.
very impressive with cost, design and maneuverability!
Great use of technology. And a good example of, "necessity is the mother of invention".
That explains my immediate concern about flying stability once ASM missiles. Obviously the Thale missile’s low recoil solves that problem.
Also, I was wondering about air-to-air capability so that shows the Thale missiles’s versatility.
Now, what about anti-shipping capability?
The key will be whether the drones can counter any electronic disruption. If they can do that then a lot of naval assets are going to be in trouble when 100 of these are sent in against a Carrier fleet.
Yeah, that's one big issue. U can have all this technology but other side has a weaponed emp or electrical disruption device n they are useless. I'm not too knowledgeable on what we have n don't have but a naval carrier or fleet with some sort or weaponized emp or electrical self defense system would be very smart
not really. Anything that flies can be easily shot down. Ships have good radars and autocannons for that.
the threat from sea drones is different: The waves create a lot of radar noise in a circular area around the ship. When the drones are far away, they could be visible. But once wihtin this "blind" area they are almost impossible to spot and the autocannons cannot aim at them correctly.
Still, helicopters could help. But Russia doesn't seem to have enough choppers and they would be exposed to Ukrainian S300
I think it needs more development like more recoil absorbtion, anti-EW, Electronic Warfare capabilities, more flight duration, swarm-capabilities and more AI-capabilities for easier use at the command level.
Thank you very much for translating to metrics!
It will be exiting to see what comes out of this drone war. Every country seems to put a lot of resources into drone development.
anti drone drones that shoot down bigger drones carrying expensive missiles using mini missiles from micro drones :)
@@magnoman1231High-powered microwave devices exist for that, which are mounted on vehicles, have huge area of effect and can neutralise thousands of drones in one go. Also, relatively basic jammers.
No need for primitive World War 1-style dogfights.
Interesting isn't it - the 'advance' of warfare.
WW1 was the first TANK war. Horses become obsolete. News by dispatch rider / intervals of weeks
WW2 was the first major AIR WAR: News by filmed-cine-newsreel / intervals of days
VIETNAM the first major HELICOPTER WAR: News by Time & Newsweek / periodic TV reports
GULF WAR 1 the first TELEVISION WAR: CableNewsNetwork cameras filmed incoming allied attacks on Bagdhad. Nightly TV news
UKRAINE WAR the first DRONE & CELLPHONE war: Drones wreck major warships/ soldiers themselves filming / streaming from battlezones..
WW3/4 ? The MASSED DRONES WAR - whole fleets of craft slicing each other up while also live-streaming the battles
Oh dear god .... we're turning it into a video game...
If they could create slightly more beefier version, then it could be used for Medevac situations, just to pull people off the front line a mile back to waiting medics.
I've never understood the exposure of technology to be used in war before the actual use.
It's called "marketing".
silly mind
War is what drives it. The need to out war your enemy has always driven tech.
Because this thing will never be used in a war. Terrible design.
It forces others to use their resources on silly things as well instead of just taking care of their people.
Thanks, Military World.
That a proper bit of kit 👏 well done to the people who design it
It's looking like ground offensives will be futile, from Tanks, Landing craft etc until you have control of the "Drone space"
I think a lot of people will assume this, until we start to get armoured columns with laser defence vehicles mixed in to provide a point defence against drones and munitions.
Only peace can change our lives for better!
Well of you go and be as peaceful as you wish. Maybe an enemy will go round you rather than over you, maybe you will have a huge effect (In your own mind) More likely you'll be as dead and just as quickly as the bloke who's decided his world is worth fighting for over the alternatives.
People lay peaceably abed at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf - Possibly from the pen of Orwell.
Wars can also change lives for the better would be a good enough counterpoint.
I don't see bedwetting as an option if someone wants to change their lives.
Yes, in Europe we thought we had peace. Then Putin came with his crazy 'Russia without borders' stuff. Now we need to be able to defend. Sorry.
Nice coop between the UK and Turkiye! 🎉
I see Skynet will be well armed when it takes over.
There is a British military satellite system called Skynet.
@@user-nw8ee8yx9m Well, we really are screwed then aren't we?
Time to start digging the bunker I guess.
I personally welcome our robot overlords, because we have proved we don't deserve this life.
How easy is it to detect it and shoot it down with AK? Some advantages of civilian drones: they are extremely cheap in comparison to this one (I am sure they are), they are much smaller (harder to detect and hit), more maneuverable, there are thousands of them, their production from widely available electronic components can be deployed anywhere
If you can hit this past 1000 feet then bravo.
Ceiling is 13,000 feet
67mph
Good luck
@@Jafmanz hihg enough for not being visible to a human and low enough (and slow enough) as to avoid air defence radars, who may just filter it out as a bird.
Compared to ... what is it -- $90M or something for an F35B ? This thing can be mass-produced for $8000 and you can have 10,000 of them for every one 5th-Gen fighter
@@mikehvirdis It's a pretty affordable price tag for top-notch military equipment, IMHO. And if this fellow can kill a few tanks and aircraft and avoid yourself losses, it's a pretty good investment
@@mikehvirdis The cost is not only for the unit.... operators are required, logistics are required....
the cost is much greater than you imagine...
Not to take away from the cost disparity of course...

Great, simple, Greek pronunciation lesson. Sadly, it's an AI channel, where other than the AI commenting bots, few real people will read it. It's still commendable to remain hopeful and try to bring knowledge in some way or other to your fellows. Have a good one mate.
LOL...I was just about to add this to the post so well done sir for already picking this up!
It is the perfect alternative to helicopters. It is really amazing.
Good. Thank You.
How much will it cost with the fly more combo,including carry bag?? And with the the fly more combo how many missiles do you get?? I need to buy one for my sons 8th birthday.
You will probably also want the shoot more combo 🙂
@@fr3238 do you get loads of rockets with that one,,sounds great ,,my son wants to practice on his school
One of many to come.
It has impressive capabilities, its size makes it slow to setup and deploy. If the wings folded at the shoulder and quad motor mounts in a bi direcrional fashion, it could easily be transported by pickup truck or small vehicle. Which Ukraine has shown us are used often for small team offensives and recon
There could also be a future in logistics for this or a maybe a cheaper derivative of it. Supplying the needs of forward positions for example.
Another thing is - being smallish AND modular, these things can be built (assembled from kits) in-theatre - which means the materiel-supply for these can simply be truckloads of crated kits. Mass produced elsewhere / could even be parachute-air dropped a dozen at a time to a field unit that needs them. 30mins to assemble / batteries PRE-charged at the factory -- ready to fly & fire 30mins after airdrop. Pretty damn flexible compared to what's gone before.
AND - if you think about it - a modified conventional bomber / transporter - even the likes of a chinook -- could *air-launch* these from the back hatch - so a whole assault could be planned / transporter full of drones flown near to region / launch teams launch maybe 50 such and then piss off / control team on the ground / or in the air - takes over control and flies the swarm on to it's target.
And finally - post - mission -- on the latter bit of battery capacity a swarm of these to fly to a clear ground zone / land and park awaiting a "collector Chinook" -- which descends / pops the hatch and the swarm *self load* by flying into the back of the chopper loading bay. 3 mins to pick up all 50 / up and away while they are reacharged, and inspected/ tested for faults / repaired on-board ready for next deploy. Next major conflict is going to be dominated by drone swarm assaults I think. So adaptable / at short notice.
One step closer to Terminator 🙄
A real gripper of a story, here..
A must see for the whole family
Great video...👍
What it doesn’t talk about is it’s low power glide capability which means it can loiter autominously for some time. Also it can act in coordination with other units giving it a wide area network capability. For the price of one f35 you could produce many of these. Combined with AWACS or an f35 this would create one hell of a defensive air capability.
I see a LOT of future improvements for that thing. Helluva prototype though.
Military World is an interesting channel. I prefer military summary channel. Would prefer 500 low tech to one of these missiles drones. More affective would be a swarm AI integrated kamakazi drone.
There is money for new weapons, but not for the homeless.
Maybe Russia can give money if you care so much .
Always has been . Shame humans can’t live in peace😢
If the money for weapon’s was spent on homeless, homeless would be dead when we loose the war. Let the homeless work by joining the forces or getting a job. I have been in fights with homeless when I pointed out to them that the store they were standing in front of begging had a sign up indicating job openings.
Yes its true, and very important at these present time of war we have got
Thanks For Sharing. Waow Incredible > Toronto, Canada
Fitted with the equivalent of shoulder fired antiaircraft missiles and able to loiter over a city or battlefield a variant of these these could provide high ground close air patrol. Because they are launching from height they are able to hit targets at longer range and with hand off from radars, etc they can hit faster. These are powerful tools.
yep , loiter over a city , you see the true target , the farmers
What software did you use to make this amazing video?
The jackal looks like a very sleek prototype/1st generation model.
I can see many variations evolving from this design.
Awesome!
No.
It's good for silly movie, to impress the kids, but not for real war. I think so. Disposable fpv mutch better than this flying seal, witch you can hit by regular small arms.
However, you can send it to Ukraine and see what happens. So, what you waiting for? When Putler come to you?
Nicely put together video of this drone capability......pronunciation of the missile system "THALES" is confusing at least at first, if you are referring to the French defence systems manufacturer.
I mean if you gotta be bad you gotta look cool doing it ! Beautiful design . :O)
I cant help thinking that if they were armed with various tech / armourment and connected to a smart network, you could launch 20 of these and they could detect and act in unison.
Jackle, give me sight beyond sight
I am sure other nations are also involved in developing new drones technology. Fierce competition these days
It flys fast and can hover? Cool!
I think the Jackle is an amazing game changer
Awesome 😎
A food or parcel delivery network could use this drone (with some modifications). For normal deliveries it could take a payload and take it to the destination. For extra fast delivery, the payload could be placed into the missile.
That’s so cool drone !
I like how they've got it chained to the floor..... so it doesnt escape !
For sure, a new wonder weapon...
Looks like cross between a Bird Of Prey and an Ekranoplan. I hate to admire the aesthetics of war machines, but this thing is a work of art.
❤world peace now!!
Nice big target :)
-- *_Whoa!_*
What's retail for this, and what quantity of order is needed to depress the price point?
That thing being towed on a Bradly or utv would be perfect for mid/ long range defense!
Innovative engineering, marvelous, affordable offensive/defensive multirole capabilities for any country !
This good news. Longer flight time capacity would increase its usefulness.
Can it be heard by ground troops from far away?
Reminds me of the Shadow fighter in Gerry Andersons' UFO show ....
It's a plan for multiple use but I think more expensive than the kamikaze drones. Remote control munitions is the advantage
Holy smoke !
how do they handle EMPs?
Need to add the abilty to transport up to 300Lbs so an injured solder can be extracted and returned to a field hosp/base very quickly w/o risking more lives and w/o a full sized helo extraction. Better yet, can extract 2 soldiers 600-700lbs. That way one soldier can poss provide aid in flight to the second one.
Basically remote life flight.
U.F.O. lunar fighter, maybe a Gerry Anderson idea 😊
The two new British Carriers were designed for future changes to drone aircraft using the carriers to take off from.
I cant find them anywhere on amazon
Baby Shark VTOL 250 Fixed wing & SAS Technology's SARISA Drone (Fires Hydra & Thales 70mm rockets) both have similar VTOL & Missile/Rocket capabilities. So please check out these drones.
This technology of the jackel should be garded as top priority
Cool
Interesting, and funny that, although I'm in the Uk, I'd never heard of this drone until now!
Needs the ability to operate in packs controlled by a lead helicopter, lead drone, or loitering aircraft similar to the F-35's drone wingman concept.
question, could it take down the Kerch bridge? 4 precise, short-range missile explosions on the same spot on a bearing pillar?
Not even close.
so you want to starve
Are they for use on the battlefields of occupied London, Bradford, Leicester, Rochdale..etc??
Oh and your occupied mother?
looks huge.... hope it can fly very high altitude as its half the size of a airplane but 1/4 the speed
Cheap and cheerful weapon systems is what the UK armed forces need a lot more of.
Never mind all the sales chatter, what we all really want to know is...
When will it be available on Amazon?
Put a forward-facing camera on it so the operator can see what's what on the battlefield.
THE weapon described would be with its range and versatility and future potential an, ideal weapon for flying, landing concealing and leaving ready to seize any opportunity to take down an unsuspecting Russian aircraft in surprise attack with no risk or demand on friendly troops. I would be interested to know how control and targeting is maintained especially on a weapon like star streak
40minutes flight time is a significant problem. It’s is 5m wing span makes it easily spotted.
Great to see such uav developed but not sure the battery technology is there yet.
Yes... very low distance and very visible...
Not from 8km away, which is the range of the LMM missile.
@@daydays12 8km when you are riding in a vehicle and the drone is low vis, pull the other one.
Without a doubt, it is a competent supplement to the existing arsenal.
Cost per unit? Is the company publicly listed? What is their tick mark?
To extend flight air time, could a dynamo be added to recharge the battery, as it flies?
No.
A dynamo needs energy to turn, therefore cancelling itself out.
That is straight up coming out from a movie.
Good to see an old idea being taken up after all these years. In the 1980's when a well known British firm successfully demonstrated this very capability it was dismissed by company senior management with the very words "It will never catch on", and the project was duly scrubbed. I guess when the suits stand looking at this kit they know as much about it as I do about racing camels! Of course they were guided to that decision by the bean counters. Any way, well done the engineers and all involved, and lets get it productionised asap.
could you imagine how this could be adapted for Crowd Control with pepper spraying or even better search and rescue carry need support even life rafts?
I think the perfect drone would be a drone that can change battaries and rearm itself autonomously and get back to do missions nonstop and with minimum operators risk . the operators would have to set a platform with new battaries and missiles on the ground and leave . and there coud be multiple crews for rearming so that it would be unpredictable.
It’s light. Handle’s adjustable for easy carrying, good for righties and lefties. Breaks down into four parts, undetectable by x-ray, ideal for quick, discreet interventions. A word on firepower. Titanium recharger, three thousand round clip with bursts of three to three hundred, and with the Replay button - another Zorg invention - it’s even easier.
Solar receptors on wings and top will increase the loitering time with about 10%
