Some pretty cool stuff. I guess thats why we need more money for the industrial military complex, upgrades. Can't twiddle your fingers and expect to win a war.

They who can see a drone can shoot a drone. Weapons and tactics--military secrets the most fleeting and so on. Pffffft.

What I really like is drones in travel and backpacking vids. Most excellent.

Yeah landscape drone videos are very cool. But I was mainly talking about the drone that captures an enemy drone. It's in the video.

I have special drone shot for my goose gun. I'm certain you've seen it on the shelf. Either that or #4 shot

Drones are making the battlefield a pretty scary place. Cheap drones off of Ebay have been used to drop grenades on soldiers. They are also an amazing recon tool. And they're small enough that every soldier can carry at least one.

In my line of work, broadcast engineering that is, drones are very useful for tower inspections.

They can see in the damnedest places, without requiring the lowering of RF power when using climbing crews.

Drones equipped with a cloaking device would be hard to hit.

Better drones than body bags at Dover AFB. Politicians don't like body bags especially around election time. Remember Bush I instituted a "casket ban", banning media filming caskets returning to Dover AFB. The ban was continued under Clinton and Bush II, Obama lifted it. No need for multi-million dollar aircraft or special ops to take out terrorists, send drones.

I vote we stop trying to kill each other altogether.
We put more resources into ways to kill and keep from being killed than perhaps everything else.
Yes, I’m dreaming. Keeps me sane, or something like it.

I think your hobby here comes from the military like it or not. Military research helps a lot of many industries. Or is it the other way around.

Sometimes I go for a drive without a destination, just for the fun of it. Still, I need a car for when I need a car. If someday cars were to become obsolete, and transport could be had by other less dangerous means, I would not hesitate to go that route. For now, Ford is a necessary evil.
Still enjoying this deep sleep. Do Not Disturb.
Coma join me.

Yeah it sucks when really great technology is weaponized. Humans suck.

Humans are evolution’s way of weaponizing biology.

I thought that sharks were weaponized biology. Lol

I should have gone with something along the line of invasive species.

Well weaponizing viruses is probably more effective than any drone or guns or bombs. Problem is it's not very selective.

As genetic engineering advances, it may become possible to make a virus that targets specific traits like hair or skin color. The only thing stopping us would be to blow ourselves up first.

Technology is constantly changing so there will always be a demand for the newest high tech weapons. Not only for our arsenals, but also for us to transfer to allies who also fight our wars. Major powers rarely fight each other, they arm and fund proxies in areas like the Middle East.

I await the six-pack drone. The market demands it.
