"This changes everything."
It's a bold and completely spurious statement, and I'll try to use it more.
If I remember correctly, the RPG game "Traveller 2300" had a weapon system designed by the alien species Kafer that was somewhat similar. Pod based small SAMs codenamed "Snapfire". Small and autonomous they could be scattered around the territory denying enemy the airspace.
From a tactical point of view this seems more like a rather typical Loitering Ammunition to me, than like a drone and examples of those, like the "SWITCHBLADE" family, are not making many waves in Ukraine because regular, way cheaper commercial drones are basically doing the same thing for a fraction of the price.
I also don't see the usefulness of using this as a ground launched anti air missile because it is way bulkier and slower than MANPAD missiles.
Same goes for the ground to ground application. Modern ATGMs like the Israeli "Spike" family already have a camera feedback function that allows a soldier to directly remote control them in flight. They use a interesting system that makes the camera automatically zoom in first and then zoom out while it approaches the target to create the illusion that it flies slower than it actually does and allow the controlling human to not be frazzled by the speed at which the missile moves.
Just like the Switchblade, this seems like a technology that is sitting in between the chairs. Too expensive to compete with commercial drones in the FPV "remote controlled grenade"-role and too slow and bulky to compete with regular missiles for all the other jobs it could possibly do.
But can existing loitering munitions return to base and refuel, if they're not expended?
@@JamieSteam No, but that doesn't seem like a practical ability that would actually ever be used in reality and in actual combat.
There are reasons for why bombers and attackers get rid of any unused bombs before landing again. Every military air base has a dedicated area where they can be dropped before landing.
You don't want your own bombs coming back to you and blow up you or your infrastructure in case something goes wrong during a landing.
@@TrangleCIf Congress can get donations for their reelection, from the DoD companies, it’ll get built. It is the BIG donors that take us to war, and the politicians listen to them…..not the voters. A jet powered drone is a lot faster than a propeller driven one. Difficult to detect, “cheap” to make. Since when Congress cares about taxpayers money being spent? The purpose of Congress is not to make laws but to spend money, pragmatically speaking. The war in Ukraine was started by the USA/E.U. The Minsk Agreements were a LIE to delay and prepare Ukraine for war against Russia……while blaming Russia. Lots of money to be made. Still waiting for that Ukrainian Spring Offensive, bifurcating East Ukraine. Russia’s land expands all the way to the Kamchatka Peninsula, northeast of Japan. It encompasses about twice the size of continental USA…..and the globalists want every square inch of it. Ask Blackr*ck. Just that pesky Putin obstacle in the way. Take the red pill, people
The quality of your videos, and subject matter keeps getting better each and every new video. Thank you. It's appreciated.
I appreciate that!
its bullshit.
The nose on that drone seems to have come from an AGM-65 Maverick. Why’s reinvent the wheel?😉
Truly a thing of beauty. You guys should be very proud. Kinetic art. Congratulations.
Great video. Thanks. Keep them coming.
Dude your videos, content and channel is awesome 👏🏽👏🏽 Keep it up!
I appreciate your objectivity on the subject. So many go full fan boy and overlook the obvious shortcomings.
Thanks!
Man you do, 'drone' on. 😉
With the advent of additive manufacturing we'll see things grown rather than constructed. Cool tech coming out.
Thanks! For sure, definitely interesting times.
Add an AGM-65 Maverick nose cone to it.
I can see cluster drones as the next innovation. UAV's deploying a payload of smaller drones from safer altitude like mini aircraft carriers. A single operator could engage a dozen targets in a few minutes.
This is a great idea. The Ukraine conflict has so many parallels with WWI static trench warfare. The answer was the creeping barrage with infantry following as close as possible. Of course the tank later would be used to cross difficult terrain and overwhelm strong points. The biggest obstacle seems to be minefields in Ukraine. Carriers with thousands of small guided munitions could be used to clear a path through a minefield, create an adaptable creeping barrage, and target strong points. Of course there is no difficult terrain in the air, and the drones could also be adapted as a counterdrone shield. These carriers would ideally be simple, cheap, easy to mass produce. To overwhelm Russian defenses thousands of carriers and millions of deployable drone munitions would be required.
I have already seen footage of F-16s (maybe F-15s?) dropping hundreds of small drones from a dispenser that is mounted under the wing of the fighter jet. The video then went on to show the flight formations of the drones. The giant swarm moved from one Waypoint to the next, then went into a loiter-circle flight pattern, and back to a Waypoint.
@@Inertia888 Problem is the aircraft is currently expensive and requires a pilot who is expensive and time consuming to train. I imagine drone pilots can be trained quickly and cheaply. You need thousands of the carriers, just like the thousand bomber raids of WWII.
I think there is so much future and money in drones that at least a few companies will be working on just such a drone as you suggest, would make sense to have a reusable super fast auto return to base carrier drone. And yeah it could drop dozens or even hundred of cheap disposable drones that use AI to seek and destroy set targets like they could recognise tanks, APC' and even people. Imagine hundreds of the deadly drones, almost silent, the side of a sausage, it can seek humans out, go in through open windows or into bunkers and then get right up to a face before detonating. They could also target specific parts that are 'soft'.
Then when the world sees how effective they are every country starts making them by the millions. Heck Elon and America could have them in space, so they drop out of space at hypersonic speeds above and area, then suddenly slow down and release a could of thousands behind enemy lines, it would be devastating.
Eventually terrorists will get a hold of them and do something evil like set them off at a place for of civilians.
There will be attempts to make anti drone tech, like those jammer vans etc, but with AI learning the drones will not need an operator and will be able to hunt by sight, even at night using night vision and thermals. If fact there could be long range silent glider drones that use sonar like a bat to see.
The drones could maybe share intel and tactics with each other, like they are told to enter buildings and kill occupants inside, one drone is sacrificed to blow the window out, another a door, another another door, sending intel back the whole time until they seek and destroy and clear a building.
All of these weapons will be made by robots in vast factories churning out thousands a day, the future of warfare will get a whole lot more brutal.
If armed drones aren't regulated by treaty, *very* soon, we'll get the apocalypse we avoided with nukes and no one will even see it coming. They are definitely a WMD. Wait till a surreptitious import strike of half a million AI driven attack drones. Come out at night like bats and near silently mine or plant demolitions. China for instance, could already have something like this in place. How many shipping containers sitting at Chinese owned ports, would it take?
Right now, people are still using drones like a brick through a window. Wait till the tactics catch up with the tech.
The quad turbine drone is called: ‘The Harrier’
where do you get the graphic for your video?
Question?
That micro turbine, have you made a separate video on it?
How's the software on this roadrunner?
What about during aquatic enviornments?
Altitude, duration and payload make everything happy.😀
MKV by Lockheed looks exactly like the "alien" tech they showed the invaders ships used in Battle Los Angeles.
I suspect Lockheed has more sophisticated thruster interceptor drones today.
Did not know that, incredible.
Programs that are abruptly ended may be actually continue in secret. The theory being that a technology / project has shown potential that needs to be evaluated without adversaries being aware it.
Interesting how the drones all have animal names except for the ghost. They do similar stuff in the automotive industry with projects having names instead of numbers. The names can be animals, cities, insects, or even feelings.
They start with alphanumeric nomenclature. But the human mind remembers better by association. The A-10 official name is Thunderbolt II. But for pilots, ground crew, specially soldiers on the ground, they call it the Warthog
Anduril is an interesting company. I hope they manage to build great platforms. Push the US DOD or pentagon into breaking out of old habits.
Better expect a little less. I will say Andruil just wishes to become like those defense contractor he's criticizing now. Also, most of Andruil products look like Irani or Chinese drones, and I bet that's what they are inspired from (aka rip off). The AI selling point he's talking about isn't anything new, being done by everyone for quite a while now.
Politicians approve $ to the DoD. They “give” it to the companies, build the weapons, go to war, use them, make more. Donate the proceeds to the politicians that approved the budget. Repeat. Many, if not all of those politicians, invest $….on those DoD companies. As Smedley Butler, a 2 Medal of Honor winner said n his book, “war is a racket”.
James you have to cover the plasmoid thunderstorm generator. It has solved the fuel pollution problem.. see Martin Fliechman Memorial Project, bob greeneyer. And malcom bendall, strike foundation. Its real, and it does a lot more. Enjoy 😀
Fascinating thankyou.
So with the jet drone.....put some arms and electric rotors along with the jets. . Will give it stability.
Make Every Windmill A Flak Tower
Thing looks ready to accept a Hellfire warhead
They need to do a drone that fills a balloon when it gets at its intended height. and then deflates back into a canister once its ready to come back down. or does it just not work like that. lol
Jet Quad looks alot like the cyber truck
There is also the noise question.
They need to read design that drone Deschutes is main body which would be a missile a lawyer around to see if it did it's job if not they bring it back and load it up again
That’s why you add electric motors for the lower speed
You want to see what is going to pin down and defeat the dark forces?
Turkish high-tech ! escape the matrix baby ! :)
I have a folder about it, enjoy. ;)
The biggest threat these days are swarm drones, be it loitering munitions or simply assault micro UAVs. And countering those threats at a low cost seems to be a focal point of which the defence industry should pay attention to. Another threat is low cost artillery/rockets/projectiles seems to be something that has been hardly addressed with anything inexpensive.
FPV type drones is used in great extend by Ukraniens and lately by the Russians to when attacking armor. On the battelfield Roadrunner drones will not change anything but
lower the cost of the intercept of drones that attacks infrastructure.
👍 very good innovation👌... I think the U.S. and the Western countries must Create more advanced weapon technology for Drone,new innovations, and new weapons
And not relied on the old technology
Yeah that's what we need more weapons please😮
What makes the Shahed 136/Geran 2 drones just DRONES, and Tomahawk Cruise missiles, MISSILES? Aren't all missiles really just drones? Have we had drones all along? Different names for the same thing just makes them confusing. I suppose "Drone" is quicker to type and cheaper to print than "Missile" . "Drone" is easier and quicker to say too. "Drone" also allows people to act as though they are dealing with some "NEW" breakthrough technology.
We pray for mini emp’s to render these things useless.
How does it change anything?
it needs to come down in price, way down in price to 10k and then 1k - in places like china this happens much faster - they are just more competitive and have a better manufacturing base - unless the US can change the trends it does not look good for contractors or the military - simple as that

Roadrunner?
Meep meep.
Hi~
Well, I just thought about it, and it looks to me like this basic configuration may be the way to go - but I'd like to see smaller variants at 10% of the cost that can swarm from an air dropped box. The idea is to carry that small version to location using a speedy cargo drone and shove them out the back as needed across a 100 mile zones or so in 15 minutes. Collecting the surviving drones after an operation would be optimistic. Alternatively arm the large drone with cannon like a good cowboy to take out multiple targets and skedattle.
It's not a rocket - it's a turbojet
Just how loud are these things?? If you can hear them from miles away, which is a problem for many drones, then your drone is more likely to get spotted and shot down by something.
The future of Skynet is NOW.
Waiting for the latest invention from Darpa, an anti-drone that utilizes the ability to intercept kamikaze drones with kinetic collisions, drones that have blades like the Agm 114 hell fire R9X Ninja, so that kamikaze drones can be paralyzed in the air.
They're not learning. They keep making weapons extremely expensive!
Parrot leaves the consumer market, then this emerges..🤔
Pizza delivery... no tipping.
We live in anime sci-fi times.
Where do we order 3.
Where is the 6 meter loop? 60 arrays at 62mm
notice we dont get to see it land.
Drones must be cheap - throw away prices.
A jet engine is not cheap - no matter what the size
Electric drones are the answer
unless you are the government where money means nothing...
probably takes forever to make as well. jet engine not exactly fast to make.
this is something the US oppositions could easily build, typical usual type of surface to air missile BUT "radio controlled" from the ground by pilot using a VR headset or a virtual cockpit setup like a PC gaming setup. with the missile carrying on board fixed camera with reticle on the center point to dictate where the flight goes(kamikaze drone style) that has night vision and infra red switchable view for night launching. and the missile is just typical missile that can go supersonic. i dont think the US's B2 stealth bomber would be able to survive from those. you dont need radar detection and tracking for those. just spot the bogey stealth bomber in the sky, launch it, and use visual cue to guide it to target.
When you are ready to pull off the US flag and instead you realize is a jet powered variant of the russian Geran 🤣
Are we just going to call everything a drone? A guided missile is now a "rocket drone?" My car is "manned wheeled road drone". My mountain bike is "leg powered trail drone." Skateboard? Well that's a "trip to the chiropractor drone" (i've never been good on a skateboard). And yes, I get it: RC technology is the key while all of those other things are not, in fact, RC.
Drives me up the wall, as well. But as far as the distinction goes, it's not RC vs Not RC. It's direct control vs fly-by-wire.
An electronic device that travels under its own power autonomously is a drone
Edit: without a human inside
@@David_Mash No. Something that pilots itself is a drone.
*Any drone that require long runway is doomed. VTOL drone is the future for modern future warfare.*
So what is she doing? After hitting his target, he was walking back home?😆
Why is Anduril not in Ukraine if the technique works?
To think the creator of the Oculus Rift went on to found this company and create this technology
why call it a rocket drone if its powered by a turbo jet?
It seems that the price is key Ukraine is showing this Ten thousand dollar plus drones won’t find much of a market when a drone at a twentieth the price carrying an RPG warhead will do the job.
None of these efforts have a chance if traders don't have the capital.
*Andevil
his name is illegitimate
you say it both ways. turbine, and turbin ;) i find it weird that americans generally call them "turbins"
On the whole scale of "everything". this doesn't actually change jack shit.
why lips not in sync with your voice? or is is robotic AI
its a missle lol
Ukraine can manufacture drones for $400..... So it doesn't matter if a success rate is only 20%
Looks like the Geran-2 Rip Off.
I want a drone pet
Hah, thanks for stopping by!
Yay slaughterbots
So it is shahed
Love the subject, hate the Hawaii shirt & sandal wearing CEO as a 'new wave' of defense contractors??
No, he lucked into money and hired a bunch of talented people, got investors, did the usual startup gig.
Nobody knows the future but I'd bet he's only interested in money, cool new toys and his ego. So this is just a blip - no different to the scores of civilian drrones-as-taxis concepts.
Blows my mind how much investment cash is flying around, most of which will become a total loss.
AI aided design plus metal printing = accelerated imagination to Real World.
AI simply amplifies the abilities of the human mind, sort of like a "superpower Muse".
We are at a technological pivot point for our species. Exciting times to be alive!
And how does this 'change everything'? Doesn't look that impressive to me.
Ummmm.... Jet powered "drones" have been around since the early 1980"s. Tomahawk...... There are also currently loitering jet powered drones already in use. It's cool but only one branch of a very large already mature and growing tree. It does not really change anything.... Cool though. What it does show is how fast the private development of drone tech is developing and expanding. That is far far more important and interesting than this drone.
Channel needs to find its direction, i.e. tech, fantasy, finance, business, defence, politics, ??
What's the message here? War is going to be fun??
Beep Beep
They won’t. Too expensive
Turbojet not rocket.
China must copy🤦🏻♂️
another thing that the world doesn't need! Stop pouring money into developing weapons!
Shhh..
It’s actually not rocket powered.
#ArmUkraineASAP
😂
Just say NO to AI channels 👎
AGREE, all that idiotic VOICES of robots, telling us lies, crap & fantasy nonsense...!
They don't make the AI. They only report about it. Such a stupid thing to say.
@@csdigitaldesign even if they only report, they still seem responsible for dispatching lies and unverified opinions to a mostly ignorant, (so believing everything being true) public. Are you aware that 82,6% of population find most digital designers intoleant to common sense and rather stupid? Surprised?
Yeah, square earth believers slogan 😂😂
I thought about making a CZcams channel, and I don’t have a very pleasant sounding voice so I did think about AI. Make it British sounding too 😂
this will not change anything
1st comment
Thanks!
Honestly I am disappointed. Yet another video where you can't get the facts straight, even with a script in front of you that apparently has them on it since you get at least some right in the video description. On top of that you use a clickbait title to make a grand claim about what is at base a slow, excessively expensive, and overweight MANPAD. Time to unsubscribe.
Thanks for feedback! I write the scripts and double/triple check sources but the Duxion Ejet was overly optimistic.
@@Tech_Planet Would the engines work in space?
you're getting confused. MKV was nothing like roadrunner. comparing them is like comparing a submarine to a helicopter. its nonsense. Additive manufacture? you're just spouting buzzwords. this is the most confused stream of consciousness bs I've ever seen
What is that shit? Can someone explain me?
Copy of iranian shahed136
does it change my knee pain
Tech-wow. useful ddrone~ 😌
Time to test it in Ukraine
I read somewhere that Ukranians are building 1Xuse drones of cardboard. Anything new on that and how can it compare with Roadrunner. What Roadrunner needs is a death laser to kill other drones and still come back home. !
You drown on saying nothing, like which country is making these, you like your own voice
And how far does this uselessness fly?
