- This New American Suicide Drone Shocked Russia.
Warfare is evolving alongside technology. In every century, new tactics and weapons have advanced warfare into almost a technological arms race. Wars were fought by hand, then by swords, guns, tanks, aircrafts and the newest form of technological warfare is by drones. Drones have become a symbol of 21st century warfare and it’s gaining popularity among developed countries involved in conflict. They have become powerful tools of destruction because of its ability to be a localized, undetected, and miniature weaponized aircraft. They’re so appealing to militarized governments around the world because they can be remotely controlled and lessen the risk of losing life… that is to the country who operates it. The best part is your target will not see it coming and by the time they realize what’s happening, it’s too late. Warfare technology has evolved and drones are the new weapons of choice.

So you don't think they're called "Switchblade" due to the way the wings swing out & lock into position when they deploy, just like Switchblade knife?
It's kind of obvious really.
Then they don't even show a "switchblade" knife !
You're correct. That is where the name originated. Surprised he didn't explain the name kamikaze, then give us a completely wrong reason.
@@SP4NKH4RD The drone is called
Kamikaze because it is so easy to fly, the operator can even enjoy an alcoholic beverage or two while controlling it. Also, in lieu of a battery or gasoline, the Kamikaze can be made to run on a mixture of vodka, triple sec, and lime juice!
and here I thought they dropped open switchblades onto the enemys position...
Humans are such an aggressive species that we've even weaponized our toys. 🙄
When the Russians were in Afghanistan, they left around objects that looked like toys but were little bombs. That tells you what kind of minds those savages have.

@@8989arty And what has that to do with Ukraine?? Did Ukraine to that? ID.IOT?
YES, I love being human :)
i think that this is the real reason why aliens isolate our world to avoid any "aggressive behaviour contamination"... sci fi theme.
What will be even more important is having the tech to defend against drones. These drones are so cheap in comparison to what it can destroy. The game changer will be who can defend against these things in an economical yet effective way.
That's where targeted EMP technology will shine. Along with improved communication detection capability. We're headed into Star Trek territory folks.
Not gonna be easy. Visualize a swarm attack of 500-1000 of them coming over the horizon at five feet.
The two Ukrainian Neptunes that took out the Moskva did exactly that, flying five feet above sea level then popped up out of the radar clutter to attack height at the last second.
Big time game changers, those little buggers.

Thanks.
I like RC airplanes, this is cool. The hardest part of flying is the landing. With these, you don't have to worry about that part.

@Sheev Palpatine There will always be counter to that weapon, for any new weapon there will be counter
Japan & Taiwan would be the ideal countries to make and improve on such drones because they are technologically advance and are major designers & producers micro chips and optics.
China is watching
Taiwan, the country about to be invaded by China…
And south Korea.
Also Japan knows a thing or 2 about Kamikaze tactics
Republic of China (Taiwan) should have this, to fight his territories, according to it's constitution, back (Mongolian People's Republic, Tibet, Xinjiang，Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan，... ) 。
Suicide drones are the proper evolution of missiles and rockets. It'll be interesting to see the AT-4, Carl Gustav, and Javelin replaced by drones.
Don't Drones need a satellite 🛰️📡 somewhere to be lethal ? What if the satellite 🛰️📡 gets knocked out? We are putting to much emphasis and confidence in technology. It will always boil down to the Grunt in the dirt with a rifle. Like everywhere.

Not happening. All Biden is doing sending this stuff to Ukraine is tease Russia. At some point Russia will use nukes and the game is over.
So you already know the outcome of this war?
@@kens2546 Sure. It gets down to will and weapons. If Russia loses on the conventional level (because the US and Europe gives Ukraine money and weapons) and still wants to destroy them they will use nukes. If Russia wins on the conventional despite the help, then they won't use nukes. Either way, is it worth the risk to rattle saber by the US over this war? No.

@@ALVARA80ify I mean it's not the USA's war but they're helping Ukraine fight against an invasion, why should Americans be forced to die for the freedom of Ukranians? Especially since America's entry into the war would escalate shit beyond Ukraine's ability to handle and turn it into a true bloodbath - you think it's bad now, think how it would be if the Russians decided to use tactical nukes or America started to carpet bomb Russian forces with strategic bombers and their own massed artillery and had tank regiments slinging depleted uranium ammunition, how much of Ukraine's infrastructure and irreplacable arable land would still be there after such high-intensity warfare? Would Ukraine be able to continue to exist even should they win the war if so much of their nation was turned to ashes in a war between USA and Russia? Right now it's a war for resources, but it things escalate it's becomes a war of annihilation and that, the world cannot afford.
Impressive and deadly. It will be hard to dispatch foot soldiers on the ground with advanced air to ground technology like this.

Sort-of hilarious that the two knives you chose to demonstrate "switchblade" aren't actually switchblades... one (Kershaw Cryo)is spring assisted, but not actually an auto knife and the other(Spyderco Para3) is just a manual folder with a Spydie hole and well tensioned bushings.
Who?
WHO IS WALKING AWAY ? SUNSHINE GOD ( YEP SHURE )
Aren't real switchblade knives illegal? Maybe that's why they chose to demonstrate with "switchblades" which aren't real switchblades?
@@samuelweir5985 Depends on the state/country you live in. There are rather draconian laws dating back to the 60's that restrict transportation over state borders, though they are pretty unenforceable outside of shipping. There are plenty of clips of switchblades operating on the internet though, so that really shouldn't be an issue.
And yet, we understood what they were talking about. Isn't that what the example was supposed to show us?
The most self explanatory name for a drone…. Channel posits the question.. “but why is it called the switchblade Kamikaze?” 😞 - proceeds to show a knife that is not an actual switchblade.
They couldn't have even found a PHOTO of a real switchblade? LOL! I had a switchblade when I was a teenager, for fun, which I bought in Paris in 1982. Good times, good times.
@@FlatEarthMath yes , bread cheese , orangina
Haha i know its a regular pocket knife
Not a drone, it's a loitering munition.
I came to post the same.
Where is the picture of a stiletto switchblade that is spring loaded, opens with the push of a button, and has a sliding lock.
Would this video be demonitized for showing reality?
The Drone that is the symbol for this War is the Bayraktar TB2.
That’s just the one the propagandists are telling us about.
While the Bayraktar was prevelent at the start of the war, Switchblades are being delivered atm.
I understand the Bayraktar pairs well with seafood.
The wine list includes a pleasing variety of imports and domestics.
Ruusia : has more than 6500 nucler bombs.

@@jefferee2002 great for tailgating Audi Drivers
yep, some really fine editing on that one
Kamikaze refers to the self destructive ability of the drone. The U.S. military also employs drones that fire munitions and return to base for refueling and rearming.
It's nice that a global world like that of today can share technology and teach other nations how to keep up by informing all nations how it's done.
One has to ask oneself why humans are still physically operating tanks from the inside...
That way the driver doesn't get wet when it's raining ... sheesh ...
You can't really preprogram a mission with a tank like you can a drone sortie. And real time operation either requires being very close to the battlefield which kind of defeats the point, or there will be lag, which you really don't want in a tank. You can deal with time lag a lot easier with an aerial drone with much longer times to target and more time to adjust and compensate for input delay, as well as some degree of automation. Also, you would still effectively have to build a full tank just without a crew compartment. With a drone you can build cheap and tiny, with no armor. A drone tank would still need armor and would still be almost as expensive as a manned tank. Which defeats the purpose of drones. We'd also need to use autoloaders instead of crew loading, which is slower and leaves your ammo more open to being hit and detonating as Russia tank autoloaders have proven. Also drone tanks are still tanks and would still require infantry support. You'd still need humans on the battlefield with the tanks anyways, why not put some in the tank too?
So yeah, there are plenty of good reasons why drone tanks aren't a thing.
@@roblangada4516 That's a very good point. 👍 airiel view is also superior to ground view. Although I do think that a small rc tank drone for recon missions could work. The one military vehicle I think we're all missing. Moles. A mole is like an apc. Armoured personnel carrier. But with A mole. It has a screw head for drilling underground. And popping up from underneath. We sure do have the capability of it. Not sure about the navigation side of things. Or how communication would work. As signal is pretty weak underground. A lot of math would be key. But travelling underground sounds very stealthy to me. But the reality at the moment is unfeasible. But with how technology is progressing. Not that far away. We are capable of drilling and tunneling through. Just imagine doing so in a tank. That travels around underground.
Good question. But our driverless cars haven't taken off yet either. Plus, once someone takes out the satellite 🛰️📡 they would be useless. China has that capability.
Excellent Post Earl. 👍👍👍👍
And these are the relatively "basic" models showing effectiveness. The more advanced stuff still in development (and perhaps not for export?) can implement rudimentary AI and do swarming. They can hold station relative to each other and then select unique targets from a group of units to dive upon simultaneously. Thus allowing the military to deploy what amounts to a mobile flying minefield. So there's scarier stuff yet to see action.
Fully autonomous lethal weapons will show up soon enough, maybe even in this war. I’m sure the use of such systems will not be advertised.
All of this will be countered by active protection systems. I think we'll see a tremendous miniaturization of tracking, maneuvering projectiles and fusing to destroy incoming projectiles as a result of these kinds drones.
And any one using one will be destroyed by the Russian hypersonic missile before they even see it coming.
@@waswe4204 A hypersonic weapon valued in the millions verses a drone valued in the thousands. Unless that hypersonic missile has a nuclear warhead not much use against a small and widely dispersed enemy with many hundreds of small and man portable drones.
If the nukes start to fly the self proclaimed saviour of humanity is not going to achieve his goal of making humans a multi planetary species.
Send that to Ukraine! Great time to test it in an actual battlefield. Can't imagine a better time.
The Less a soldier has to Face his enemy, the more war will become acceptable..... 😢✌&💙
i wonder, have you heard about the attacks overseas that didn't use explosives but used cutting blades on a missile? i wonder if it is simply another version of the switchblade? it would make sense.. another version of the 600 type that instead of a munitions it uses a "switchblade" style of blades to cut a single target... 3 or 4 incidents were reported in the video i watched about it...but i mean IF it was a loitering munition like these, then it would only take a single person within 20-60 miles of a target... launching it from a location or vehicle.... thou when i look at other videos on the feed here... for all i know it could be from another version of the javalin... i mean those fins in back... could be replaced with blades right?. idk its just what popped into my head... it would make sense thou, the targets the video had on it were all when the targets where in vehicles and the weapon didn't blow up, killed the target from above... so like a javalin in that regard maybe... anyhow was happy to share something... peace.

This ain't your daddies war. Fascinating development in how war evolves with technology.
It looks like one of these somehow made it over 200 miles into russia
If a suicide drone made it that far in, it was likely a Phoenix Ghost drone. Even then I highly doubt it.
Oh dear, how sad, nevermind.
lol
Yes THAT is the exact reason! I have known about these drones for years. I flew their older less lethal brother the PUMA.
Feel better? Want a cookie?
Im seeing more and more the importance of ewo and how there contributions could quite literally effect the future of warfare
It's not really a drone, although it can be used as such. It is a loitering munition.
I would think a flatbed truck with set of a dozen switchblade 600 launchers mounted in the rear would be quite useful. The driver could cruise around 15 miles behind the 'front line' and move to wherever enemy tanks or artillery are active, and the passenger could launch and control one switchblade at a time until they run out of stock and return the base for a reload and refuel. Having two guys in a $50K truck carrying $70K worth of switchblades that could potentially destroy or damage a dozen 'cheap' T-72s costing $500K each would be pretty asymmetric. The training time would also be about 1 day. And logistics of driving such a loaded/prepped truck from the Polish border to the Donbas front would be relatively self-contained and simple (It's only a two day drive from Lviv to the Donetsk area).
what? do you think the military is scouring YT for armchair quarterback strategies? LOL
@@markh3055 No. Just idle speculation.
@@markh3055 Yes. We are at the point where AIs can be used to scour vast amounts of data to discover possible threats or tactics.
As this effectively allows them to pool ideas from millions of minds, rather than the few dozen in the R&D department, it would be foolish not to be "scouring YT for armchair quarterback strategies".
Check out the capabilities of the GBU-53/b, and the new Boeing/Saab hybrid GLSDB, which could use a GBU-53/b (Stormbreaker) instead of a GBU-39. These Switchblade drones are toys in comparison, and their military value is trivial in comparison. They are cheap though. You get what you pay for.
The new GLSDB system is probably going to have a lot of buyers soon. It would have been the perfect weapon for Ukraine....with some M142s or M270s
GLSDB:

Imagine having intel (something US/NATO does well) on an opponent moving armor and APCs for a push, 100 km away. You estimate which grid they will be in 7 minutes from now, and launch 24 of these from (2) M270s. No operators. No links. Send them up, they glide to the chosen grid, find the targets, prioritize them, and take them out. 7 minutes later no more enemy.
@@shooter7a the whole point is that they are cheap. Dozens or hundreds of them can be churned out for the cost of single, larger munitions. They're so simple that you can teach almost anyone to use them in about an hour. And they're easily portable. You don't need a special launch platform...the Switchblade can be launched as easily as launching a mortar round, without the need for dialing in coordinates or worrying about windage.
There's always going to be a need for big, complex munitions. While a Switchblade may be effective against an individual tank, truck, gun emplacement, etc, it's not designed to attack hardened emplacements or reinforced bunkers.
Great thing about small drones is they fly low enough to avoid Radar. New drones are able to lock in on cell phones transmission to track & destroy target
I've heard that we (the USA) already has an unmanned version of the Warthog A10...basically, a huge drone that has 11 hard mounting spots and a machine gun! And it's controlled by a person hundreds of miles away! Only the enemy gets hurt!
That would sure be cool to have drone A-10s!! lol. As good as the younger generation is with playing those games there is really no reason to have a pilot in a fighter aircraft. If the drone pilot crashes one then they can just log into another one.. Nobody gets hurt!
So people can hack our a-10s and use them against us. How cool is that?
@Ed Kummel Hope you enjoy being appearing in a video game with a points total on your head; only the enemy gets hurt, but America has so many enemies... and now Russia?!

As a pilot in Vietnam I came to the decision that the use of ground forces in fighting wars was obsolete. And that was 50 years ago! The technology that can be brought to bear on ground forces, from the air, is even MORE overwhelming than it was then. Control of the air space over ANY invading military ground force is now the most important aspect in winning such a conflict.
Uh huh, so how come you guys lost in Vietnam? It's not like the Viet Cong had helicopters or heavy bombers.

Yup, air superiority is why we won Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Oh wait, we didn't win those wars. Why we lost was the lack of support by locals... same with Ukraine. Unless the local population is in support of the change, it's a long-term losing proposition.
You come across as a typical airpower airhead.
Seems like setting up a chain link net or umbrella above potential targets could stop the drones.
Cope cage
Naw. They'd just upgrade them.
If it wasn't targeting ground troops or vehicles this would potentially be the case.
You need some kind of plasma where these things fly to absorb all the signals. OR develop something akin to the Hutchingsons effect aka "poltergeist" machine. There will always be counter measures to everything except ... for politicians who profit from war and killing people.
Possible, but depending on the blast power of the drone, that net might have to be set very high making it imparactical to operate if your on the move.
You would think that this information would be considered a matter of national security and totally confidential.
This is a complete educational tutorial for the opposition.

"Controlled by a trained soldier"
Be honest.... They put the guy who most recently played a fps to control it, considering how similar they are in both real life and video games, if I remember correctly, some older drones actually used Xbox controllers before the military started wanting special designed units with more information or controls, but a simple controller is easy, find someone young who's used to those and training shouldn't be required much...aside from teaching the difference between friend and foe since a good idf system doesn't exist yet.
What my dad told me (when I saw my first military drone early 90's) he told me the pilots were offered them but told the military no there "video games" and not "real flying" as they wanted to keep with their jets instead (probably my guess keep from forward deploying too) but as the military started looking at more drones than jets the pilots told the military to stop giving them to kids as they are not pilots and don't understand the complexity of flying like they do.
imagine if you think its a video game and ITS REALLY KILLING PEOPLE??? that is the future.
@@JeanLucCaptain future? It's been like this for a while with the predator drones
That is still ‘trained” ! Try beating a teenager in a racing game …..
Yup. Used PlayStation controllers to fly them back in the early 00s
This drone really feels like the definition of throwing money at a problem to make it go away. Better than throwing lives away, though.
Its the opposite of throwing money at a problem. These things are cheap when compared to tanks, aircraft, etc.
They are also way cheaper than shoulder launchers, like NLAW or Javelins. Those are often single use tubes, and cost around 40-250k each. So by comparison drones are cheap as chips.
New York law defines a gravity knife as a knife with the blade in the handle that can be opened with a one‐handed flick of the wrist. They differ from switchblades, which use a spring to propel the blade into an open position automatically with the push of a button. Common urban myth/perception that a gravity knife like the one you showed can be confused with the more stealthy switchblade. But like so much slang..it sticks.

According to the manufacturer, the wings switching out after launch is exactly why they call it switchblade.
Great! Let's give the enemy all the information they need, to begin to defend against them, and build their own!
Sometimes? People just don't need to know- especially when in actual use.
Switchblade is for the way the wings deploy...
i am surprised it doesnt have a red cross swiss army knife logo on it and that cork screw is a bitch.............................just kidding.
It’s a kamikaze drone. It should scream “Banzai!” as it flies into its target.
That would actually be comical , in a kind of "dark Humour" sort of way . Imagine being those Russian Soldiers manning that 9A52-4 Tornado ( MRLS or Multiple Rocket Launcher System) ,thinking "Ooooh , We are ScArY !" ,only to hear a robotic, tinny sounding voice screeching " BANZAI " as this little toy airplane looking thing hits that 9A52- 4 and turns that MLRS ( Tornado ) into KAPUT .
If not already incorporated in its design, perhaps it could have shape recognition. It could then recognize the shape of enemy vehicles and naval vessels and be totally autonomous.
Good way to have your enemy make game models to waste ammo and money.
Err, given that Ukraine (as well as many Eastern European nations) and Russia are often using basically the same vehicles that would be quite problematic.
Man, that 600 series gets great fuel economy!

My understanding is that weapons are arriving in Ukraine from the U.S. every single day for 3 weeks. Hard locating these 100 drones but hopefully we'll get to see the damage they do to Russian forces.
@@prescient8972 They sent 700 total and that’s just the first package of switchblades. That’s also not counting the other drones being sent. There will be a lot more coming. Same goes for the artillery shells.
god bless russian forces are destroying all it in storage before
Now imagine this drone getting upgraded with a modernized W-54 Davy Crockett.
That’s basically what the japanese could only dream back in 1940’s.
Switchblade 600 flies at a speed of 115 miles per gallon. That's an impressive statistic.
Is that real?
They use (inherently loud) internal combustion engines?
I would have thought that they’d use (virtually silent) battery power.
Nope, I just checked. They use electric motors & batteries.
@@teefkay2 That's correct. The uploader doesn't know the difference between MPH and MPG which is what I was pointing out sarcastically.
@@iancanuckistan2244 Seems more like a fat finger mistake. G is right next to H.
Either way, 115mpg is a super impressive speed considering it doesn't exist
@@mikimomo97 I can understand one finger slip but he did it twice on the same video. I was being sarcastic when I first commented.
The drone also has Ai to work with other drones to swarm multiple targets and priorities threat levels and effectively target the highest treat . Slava Ukrani 🇦🇺🇺🇦

@@WKLNETWORK no, not really. We have a technician that comes in to repair our machine that is into drones. Hes gone to shows where they have scores of them controlled simultaneously where they put on a synchronized aerobatic light show.
@@woodstream6137 That's not swarming. It's imply a pre-programmed choreographed routine like a fireworks display sychronized with music. True "swarm" capability would involve convergence to a single target or target area BTW, or to take out an incoming threat in a defensive posture. Much of what is being explored with "swarm" function of drones would be to use them to protect ships / bombers / even fighters from use of stuff like hyper-sonic missles. They would basically be out there and ready to converge on any aerial traveler like a kind of bird strike that can bring down a 747. But a bird strike with explosive corn in the gullet.
Who knew those shy quiet kids sitting in the basement playing video games would come in useful some day🤷♂️
WWII had some crazy tech and tactics back then, cant even imagine what they dnt show
Japan approves this message!
And that’s exactly why these weapons were kept secret for so long and should have remained that way too ! Now all are enemies will copy them.
I agree, we are throwing away are secrets and wealth on a war that is NOT our war. ukraine is not even a nato ally.
If europe nato nations want to supp.y ukraine and risk getting hit by russia, then we should say no to any nato agreement to come to their aid
This is NOT our war.
You got to be kidding. Our enemies have known about these for years.
Many countries already had such ideas and have their own variation anyway, including Russia. This can serve as a 'testing' ground in a real conflict. Now our militaries can improve their technology by observing using real combat situations.
@@KillFrenzy96 True ! But I’ll just never understand why the United States has got to show off and display and talk about every single new weapons system we’re designing or have already designed and fielded to all of our enemies ! Let all of those bastards find out about are weapons in war ! Look how long the United States struck other countries throughout the world 🌎 without ever having laid their eyes onto a single F-117 or a B-2 Stealth Bomber ! Here lately the only weapons our government won’t talk publicly about is the Raider and our new 6th generation fighter . Some things are better left unsaid until times of war ! Especially with how fast technology is moving throughout our world today .
3:32 of course, the name Switchblade has nothing to do with the way the wings unfold, but with portability, which is the main distinguishing feature between switchblade knives and other knives.
America's war tech is futuristic where as Russia's still back in year 2000.
um... okay you know the M1 Abrams is o 60 year old vehicle right? just like the T-72?
You said the switchblade drone can hover over a target. It's a winged drone with a pusher prop behind, it ISN'T capable of "hovering", it has to maintain an airspeed but it could circle above but it CAN'T hover.
You're right
It doesn't hover it loiters.
@@claudemaggard7162 As I already said: " it has to maintain an airspeed but it could circle above but it CAN'T hover ". Loitering for a fixed wing drone or model plane IS circling ABOVE so you're essentially just repeating what I said using slightly different wording, we didn't need that thank you very much.
Good grief, man. That type of knife is not why they called it a switchblade. I know that I've never heard anyone call that knife a switchblade
what I see next is a tank shell that opens up to a drone to get a view of the battlefield and target
Some people think that this may be the last generation of human pilots. There will always be hobby pilots, but no commercial or military pilots.
Can their signals be jammed? In other words can the enemy send signals to stop the operators ability to guide it to a target?
Yup. As he finished with his "... all you need..." list, I thought immediately: YOU LEFT OUT STRONG SIGNAL ENCRYPTION AND ROBUST RESISTANCE TO E-WARFARE COUNTERMEASURES. Remember when Iran captured a US drone some years ago? Apparently it was by hacking it with phantom signals and causing it to land. Hopefully the US has learned somethign from that incident. And also hopefully they are taking much care with these 600 units to make sure that they don't make it into Chinese (or Russian) hands by way of the black market.
No , just go by AT&T and get a new phone.
I would imagine, unless you know exactly the frequency and/or direction of the drone, any jamming signal you use is likely to jam your own equipment, as well. It's not like you can leave a signal jammer running 24/7, if you're also trying to carry out operations. You need the same bandwidth for your own communications and radio-operated gear. The trick is jamming them without jamming yourself. If you know the wavelength their signal is on, you can try broadcasting noise to disrupt the signal, or boost signal strength of your own to take control of the drone, hypothetically (and assuming the drone hasn't already gone into a terminal guidance phase and is still listening for a signal.) If you know the direction, you can transmit a broad range of 'noise' to disrupt signals, but you run the risk of interfering with your own operations unless you're using highly directional, high-beam equipment, but the more focused the beam, the harder it is to actually lock onto the drone and stay locked. That problem is compounded when you're talking about small drones, because you have to find them, first...
@@AllTradesGeorge Well Iran did it... they force a US drone to land back about 10+ years ago. They didn't exactly jam it, I believe they overloaded it and it went into some kind of failsafe mode thinking it was at base and landed.
@@robertlaw4073 Thanks! That is a very satisfying answer.
I like this powerful drones
Powerful? It hit an old Chinese truck and did no damage... What could it possibly do to a Russian tank or armored personal carrier... It's worthless trash not powerful weapon...
Yes almost like my DJI air 2 S :)
@@eddale5557 Battalion Tactical Group Losses: Russia had 170 BTGs before the war. Each BTG has approximately 600-800 officers & men, of whom 200 are infantrymen, 10 tanks and 40 armored fighting vehicles. 130 BTGs were deployed to Ukraine. Russia now has less than 74 BTGs left there: Net loss of 56 BTGs = 1/3 of the total Russian ground combat forces. Oryx - 4/25/22
The advance in drones is amazing and very interesting to see it evolve from a relative toy to such fearsome weapons. And, we've only touched the surface. Wait till they install shaped charge warheads on them.... if they haven't already.
"The first use of drone on a battle field was in 2012" WWI vets like yo wtf?
Shocked at this, shocking, truly shocked in its shockingness. Shockedy shockedy shock shocked. Shocking!
Watching how effective all of the different weapons Ukraine got from the US and European nations is probably the main reason China decided invading Taiwan right now might not be the best move.
And these are the what they know about. Two weeks ago no one ever knew anything about a Phoenix Ghost drone. What else is hidden, underground, just waiting for something to kill? What is DARPA cooking up in the dark recesses, the bowels of Area 51 and Groom Lake? With a dark projects budget larger than Russia's full military budget, there could be some really terrible stuff down there.
China's troops are even bigger noobs than Russian troops. As soon as China deploy its 2 million troops army, they'll all come home in body bags within a week.
LETS GO FPV PILOTS! this is our time to shine! 🤩🤩🤩
Those SwitchBlades are easily countered.
none seen in action sadly. therefor nothing to be shocked. would need a thousand in mariupol, to see some orcs go boom.

So it is obvious that if you don't say something supportive about the video you don't get any comments because your comments are prevented from others seeing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW CZcams Decenting comments are normal and part of the U.S.A heritage!!! It's called freedom!!!
0:08; "In every century new weapons and tactics have advanced warfare into ALMOST a technological army race" What? What! Ever since the 3rd. millennium B.C. warfare has ALWAYS been a technological arms race and yet you say "almost?" Tactics, leadership and numbers of combatants aside, what else has supremacy in warfare and the battlefield ever been based on? War stimulates technology. Ask the inventors and innovators of bronze, the saddle and bridle, armours, longbow, machine gun, radar or tank.

The Japanese were really on to something back in those days; a human switchblade drone! 🤦♂
The notable difference is that the handler was in the cockpit instead of being safely on the ground as it is nowadays.
The wings also come out in a manner similar to a switchblade knife’s blade.
What a blessing to Ukraine and her soldiers the new drone will become a very good protector for the Ukrainian people and their country bless Ukraine.
Excellent 👌
Stay strong Ukraine! 💪 🇺🇦💙💛🌻☀️
With respect, I don't think the US were the first to use drones for combat.
On 9th June 1982, Israel launched a squad of Mastiff RPV (remotely piloted vehicles) in order to trick the Syrian anti-aircraft missile batteries into switching on their targeting systems as they believed the drones to be an incoming squadron of Israeli fighter jets.
Once they switched on these systems, the drones relayed their location back to command and control, whom then targeted and destroyed the Syrian air defence batteries.
Israel had developed and deployed drones previously, but I believe that this may have been the first time they were used in combat to identify and locate the AA batteries to enable their targeting and destruction.
The NAZI V-1 Buzz Bomb used against England was one of the first armed drones.
@@ronaldc.wagener6403 Those Nazi weapons were missiles, not drones.
@@felixcat9318 Takes a Nazi to know a Nazi - anyway, the Japanese used drones in WWII so know our good friends and honorable humans the Israelis weren't the first to use drones. And your definition of a missile is nonsense.
You really missed the opportunity to call the US Drone donation a "Dronation".
Good one!
Put that in your pizza delivery. Yes, flying saucers not made by humans are real.
What is shocking is the epic hypocrisy of Americans regarding Russia invading Ukraine after the Americans and Ukraine invaded Iraq.
America without cause invaded Iraq for the ego needs of its President just like Russia did to Ukraine. Ukraine had zero to do with Bush evil in Iraq
Compared to the Russian suicide drones this drone is a mature hour and weak
PLEASE KEEP SENDING THE UKRAINIAN'S TROOP'S AS MANY DRONE'S AS POSSIBLE TO TAKE OUT AS MANY WAR CRIMINAL'S
PLEASE KEEP SENDING AMERICAN WEAPONS TO THE UKRAINIAN NAZI TROOPS.
Does those smaller Drones even work in bad weather conditions, like heavy rain or snowfall, fog etc ? Or they can't be used then, as the Operator can't see anything?
This drone technology will be a source of chaos for quite a while.

Missiles are expensive as hell, from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars each. However if you can take out a tank or other target that costs multiple times that, I guess it's not that bad.
this just sounds like a miniature V-1 missile with extra steps.
They better start using them in Ukraine, with more powerful weapons because the Russian army is hitting hard. We hope the Ukrainians can build a strategy to defeat the Russian's.
So you like nazies?
The drones, even by Zelensky’s own admission, have been less effective than expected. Russian electronic warfare and air defense systems seem to be affecting their utility.
Well, then Russia certainly won't mind that we are sending so many more of them... good to hear.
