Why does the US support Israel so much? Because Wall Street Journal and other presstitutes take their marching orders from the disgraceful Murdoch family.
I love watching videos on the rich people's network showing me where my tax dollars go and what they do with the money they consistently inflate out of my meager savings via deficit spending (a not so hidden tax).

$2M for a 15' drone? Is a hammer still costibg the US Taxpayer $2000?.
The drone has latest generation technology welcome to the world of cutting edge technology where if you fall behind you will die
@@KILLKING110 sure sure. 😢😢
His response was rather Pathetic and also extremely Typical for gov contracting, "well it's not too expensive, so if we lose some the Taxpayers can eat the cost". $2million for the drone, $2k for the hammer, and $800 for each individual screw holding it together. Showing once again, that these institutions need to be flattened and most top people fired. Or they'll happily continue billing the taxpayers and padding their own paychecks as always. Ridiculous amounts of money for the tools, materials, products, Thousands of foriegn places, wars and just about ANY organization involved or asking for $$$......and MAYBE if you're really lucky, there'll be some change left over for Americans and their retirement accounts. Upon being born every person is handed a large bottle of lube, so the gov can continue screwing them into Oblivion.

@@mrt2this607 do you have any idea how expensive it is to build and dev this stuff? Come back and speak once you have worked in the industry.
Every government contract for planes or Missiles ...Go with the original budget and multiple it by 2.5 times ..... That will be the true budget
The military industrial complex being the benefactor of this expense to the U.S. taxpayer. In actuality the U.S. is spending money we print out of thin air.
a limerick.
A stealthy boat called the Triton
Could sail and submerge like Poseidon.
Though cheap to attrit,
Its sensors were lit,
Giving intel that sailors would write on.
Triton is a reusable ISAR platform that costs the same as a one-use cruise missile, that's a bargain.
There once was boat from Kilkenny
That could run underwater like a blenny
Now this boat wasn't cheap
Its price was quite steep
But it could sink Russian boats aplenty.
Proving options for soldiers to fight on
Poseidon is nuclear powered and have nuclear warhead dron that can dive all the world until the target is thermonuclearized.
@BorisPerc I know you're proud of it but it's a fantasy... Just like the Ruskie Mir and the fantasy of the "unstoppable Russian military" (see profile picture for how well those have turned out)
The Triton submersible drone should have a self-destruct feature if captured. Why risk one falling into the hands of the enemy?
Don't send them toward the enemy if you don't want to end up in their hands.
It likely has a hardware killer system similar to the USB killer devices that can fry things like motherboards
the triton is also the trojan horse.
very well done
Warfare has gotten wicked quickly.
I'm suprised I haven't seen a drone shaped like a shark with movable fins.
Lol. Those exist
Stay tuned!
they have been around for years the 1970's at least there was a movie made it was called JAWS
DARPA is listening.
@@mattk8810 I looked them up and this is what I got, Ghost Shark and Manta Ray are the names of prototype uncrewed underwater vehicles - UUVs or drones - introduced recently by Australia and the United States respectively. I'm digging deeper because I want to see one or both of these in their own environment. Thanks for the tip.
$2~$3m per small remotely boat? No wonder how easy it is to steal the bank this day.
Not so much when you consider that 2 million is 0.0001% of the yearly defense budget.
@@EnjoiCircask8 An Ukraine suicide drone boat. Used to sink russian naval ships. (Magura V5)
Costs 270k. So you can potentially sink 8 ships with those at the same cost of taking pictures with an american one.
And China/Iran can probably make twice as many for half the money. Since both of them are specialized in drones.
@barneyklingenberg4078
While this is mostly true (latest price for Sea Baby i've seen is 250K), these are nowhere near equal. Multi-role reconassaince sea drones with just optional added attack and permanent submarine capabilities, besides being autonomous and solar-poered are unprecedented. Completely different fish with different and wide roles, so for initial US price i'd say it's more than reasonable, if they do the claimed jobs. Note that planned wartime economies and centrally enforced MIC in autocracies like China, Iran, Russia, N. Korea etc. are bond to be an order of magnitude cheaper per unit (while still wasting billions on corrupted and failed propaganda projects though). Ukraine is an unique case, where free market and MIC is stretched to maximum and does not exactly follow the western profit rules, with mixed costs (materials and imported parts are not as cheap as their adversaries, while wages are now lower, which was other way round before the full-scale war). Ukrainian designed or adapted single-purpose weapons are better value in given circumstances, but you're comparing apples to orangutans here.
The US government is paying over $150 each for wooden pallets.
I'm reminded of the last years of WWII. Germany put its faith "wonder weapons ", while the Russians just kept producing artillery and tank shells and grinding up their armies.
Anyone else see this?

100%, and yes we are the baddies……. People believe because Russia spends 1/4 on defense they are not equals, it’s how much more per dollar they get!! And the focus on what works…..
Given what we push socially and how our people are suffering ever declining living standards, this checks out. The elites don't care nor does the media. The high point of our country is choosing which elites sell us out. Both parties run up the debt. All the politicians appear to be geriatric. We risk ww3 over a corrupt foreign land because our government wants to run the world like an empire.
We tell ourselves it's doe democracy and we are the good guys but the average person is ignorant of our government overthrow of democratic government of Pakistan.
How elites look down on their citizens during recent historical events yet somehow still say it's the Russians, Chinese or Iranians that are the threat is beyond me.
If our government nationalizes arms production, these grossly corrupt and inflated budgets would go away. One would hope.
I guess they didn’t do any R&D where you worked lol
That's what this entire war is about milking U.S. tax payers and the MIC industries and its counterparts and insiders fill their pockets.
It's bull, all these people cheering on Ukraine have no idea what they are cheering for. It's pointless...
Guy's basically saying- if the boat-drones get stolen it's no problem, because it's not it the typical Hundreds of Millions, so we've no concern that these losses can't be absorbed by the American Tax-Payers. Says nothing towards potential enemies then using it against us or copying the tech like a country such as chyna/russia. Why not incorporate a self-destruction countdown after a very loud siren followed by five, four, three, two, one...BOOM!. Put a couple multi-language warnings on it saying if you steal this, it goes Boom, taking anyone/anything in 30foot radius with it to the bottom of the ocean. Be somewhat hilarious to see so pirates try and take, then their facial expressions change as they read it, then the siren and countdown....humorous no? Make Actions having Consequences Great Again.
What comfortable times for weapons manufacturers 💩
it's been like this before the war
Invest in 155's
The Booker looking like drone catnip, lol.
I am a drone pilot and retired chef, if you can get me out there, I'll do what's needed.
There still stuck on stupid because the reason why drones are so much better is because how cheap they are. 10k for enemy drones vs Valkry at 5 to 10 million.
Surprise, surprise, even WSJ falls for BS regarding a "Ninja Bomb", more than likely based not on rational and vetted facts but instead on rumors that originated with "video game warriors.". The actual weapon is a very small TBX warhead placed inside a mostly empty, AGM-114 ("hellfire") type air-frame. The missile was modified specifically to lower the cost of the original AGM-114 (which was meant to be used against tanks and heavily armored targets) while also significantly reducing "collateral damage", when used for "targeted individual personnel" (i.e. targeted assassination). due to the much lighter warhead, the missile's center of gravity as well as center of dynamic stability changed, requiring an aerodynamic stabilization solution, in the form of the six expandable knife-like wings protruding from the missile body frontal section. The "Ninja Myth" is nothing but stupid conjecture information proliferated on the Internet by substandard "drone journalists"...
Nice.
Were excited to see the "BOOKER" on the battlefield. Totally, a "game-changer" for the US Army.
The Philippines 🇵🇭 government is actually making a feasibility study to buy at least 200 of this tank in the next 6 years.
In the time it allegedly takes to build one factory to make a few 155mm shells today, WWII would be half way through and multiple factories would have been built in months producing 100s of times more shells of different calibres.
Technology has changed significantly since WW2. WW2 was about mass production, but not very high tech. This translated to a similar situation on the battlefield - large masses of soldiers, lots of deaths. Nowadays, especially in the West, the strategy has shifted towards fewer - much fewer - weapons systems, but highly specialized and extremely advanced technologically. This shapes the battlefields similarly - far fewer deaths.
In WW2, you were sometimes sending out two dozen bombers to drop literally tens of tons of shells over a rather large area to destroy one single factory, and still not damage the target significantly. Nowadays, you send out a single missile, and in 99 cases out of 100 you completely obliterate the target. Overall, although individual weapons are orders of magnitude more expensive nowadays than they were in WW2, war overall is cheaper, especially in terms of human deaths.
@@a0flj0
That was all fine until just over two years ago. Maybe watch the video before replying next time.
What took a thousand bombs to hit in WW2, took a hundred bombs during Vietnam, took one bomb during Desert Storm. Basically the same with dumb shells, verses the rocket assisted guided 155 excalibur shells of today. Then their are so called drones which may make it all meaningless when swarms of insect sized drones assault an area, each one directed in real time by a hive mind connected to an AI central control, to kill any living heat source, like a cloud of death.
@@a0flj0 1 precision bomb won't kill 3 seperate targets at the same time. That doctrine is outdated as only for small scale conflict.
Number still matter, you can't end the war if you can only shoot 1 and enemy shoot 100. That is what happening in Ukraine
We're is a peacetime economy, before the US even begun fighting, it was gearing up for war for years.
It's interesting, but there is so much sales language in here that I expect the script was modified and approved by marketing from the companies.
There is a lot of...not technically wrong, but objectove/misleading stuff...good, but...too much corporate sales language
Very much spot on, it is a profit driven industry. "Oh it is so cheap, it cost only 2-3 gazzillion dollars, oh no problem we just print more money". Well, good luck with that 🤡🤡🤡
....evil language! Not sales.
Agreed.
A lot of things are misleading, like the talk of thermobarics, we have thermobaric handgrenades its not that special. Or how ukranian helicopters had soviet dumb rocket that work just like the hydra rockets but the "expert" acts like area of effect is a new capability.
And most of the video was not about the title just US MIC sales propaganda.
It's not like the Ukraine is buying weaponry from the U.S. but the U.S. is just continuing the military action we started in 2014. There are few if any Ukrainian fighting age men left alive.

That Triton, if equipped properly, could be an excellent tool for oceanographic research! It could observe marine mammals, track birds, and observe physical parameters like currents, water temperature, etc. I can't wait to see what marine biologists do with this!
Doubt marine biologists can afford to pay 2-3m per piece....
Ukraine has found the GLSDB does not work when fired from artillery. They have had to modify them to use as air-dropped and in that capacity work real well... but when fired from artillery, they simply don't work.
All of these combatants will become exhausted to the point of just fading
Sure: just like has never happened before.
WSJ said a year ago that Russia had run out of ammunition and had resorted to using shovels. Then they said they'd run out of shovels and resorted to using their own boots. Prior to that they said a Ukrainian grandma had shot down a Kinzhal with a jar of pickles. And these are the people selling us global warming, green energy, experimental gene therapies and wars everywhere. And most people notice nothing.
So, Booker tank is the newer kind of Sherman tank?

That unmanned could be a stealthy sub, and it is hard to be hunt!
A periscope or snorkel trail is very easily recognized from the air, it was exploited as far back as WWII. Nowadays with the quantity of sensors in the air, much more, especially with the sail deployed. Objects on the sea are more easily detected and tracked than on the ground, as the sea is very uniform in contrast to the different geographical accidents that land offers for concealment.

Slava TSMC 🇹🇼
@@001vern The reason that Russia and Ukraine have been losing a very large amount of equipment to drones is because they lack any defense systems against small UAVs and neither side has air superiority. The U.S. currently has anti UAV weapons at its disposal and is currently producing many of them to use so it would be different circumstances.
The problem with GLSDB is that it was rushed into production and wasn't ready yet. Ukrainians have not used it much because they found that the Russians GPS jammers were taking it off course. They were missing and that is a problem. Russian EW is good despite having a horrible army in general.
'Horrible army'? 😂😂😂 Now if you said horrible logistics then you would have a point. Russia's army is one of its strongest points. It's crazy that they've used conscripts and felons who have taken multiple cities. 80% of their army is still in the mainland. But I get it, you're a Russophobe who has to say negative things about Russia to make yourself feel better😃 I mean they've ran out of weapons and they're now using shovels too right? If only they fought against Vietnamese rice farmers maybe they would've done better😂
this war could EASILYbe ended.. but of course we have to continue blowing money we don't have..
imagine a stealthed version of the triton, armed with enough explosive to silently attach to an enemy submarine and blow a huge hole in its side. This obviously would explosively decompress the sub and destroy it. Wow! A 3-5 million dollar weapon system like that able to take out an enemy sub that costs a thousand times more to build and operate!
When there is a new model order, I would hope allowance is made for in line first order improvements should such occur prior to completion of a first order. Seems to me, if significant, any feasible improvements should be added to the first model if caught in time; rather than simply waiting until the first order is finished as ordered. Seems wasteful to complete any order without known improvements being incorporated, just for the sake of preserving the completeness of the first, or any order. Rather, when a significant improvement can be added to the original order, simply negotiate the cost adjustment, add the improvement to the remain see of the first order, calling it a 10A. After that, pray tell, include those improvements and any subsequent others into a second model grouping for future orders.
I am surprised that Russians do not know that Tuborg beer is a known Danish brand which is owned by Carlsberg.
Mistake in this video, these DDGs and CG's with the aegis radar system in combat center can actually use the weapon systems on other ships as well

The US has been using thermobaric weapons since the Vietnam War.
In recent years they have conveniently renamed them as "novel explosive" to avoid bad PR.
Hundreds of thermobaric Hellfire missiles have been used in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria - often in urban areas with little regard for civilian casualties.

"unloved" life forms
Technically interesting, emotionally scary 😨
I like the boat drones
It is a good game Changer in ocean
You can deploy 1000 with your fleet
Marvelous engineering 😮
Thunderfoot did a video on the Thermobaric weapons,, if you are in the area where the oxygen is depleted, you are also in the lethal blast radius.
USA should probably focus more on electronic warfare and drone defense.
and active protection
Look into the AN/APG-85, and "Nixie" torpedo decoy systems. The US also has pods that can be attached to aircraft to add jamming capability.
I am not sure about drone defense.
Ok, General. 😅
We should focus on Health Care, Public Transport, Climate Change, etc.
Imagine though a million drones coming at you 😮😱
Really enjoy this type of informative content 👍
You can always make sure the command to use weapons has to be givin while everything else is autonomous.
Maybe the drone relays target information and then a person in another aircraft or on the ground issues the command. So the drone relays the information and then a human picks the play or strategy to attack the target.
Make it so the drone can't enable armed and ready to fire mode without a human. Doesn't have to be optional.
Even with man in a cockpit a drone can do many autonomous functions. Tracking, targeting. All before allowed to fire by a physical switch. Or a man does some task while the Ai does others. The neat thing is. With larger drones that they normally remote control anyway. A supercomputer burried in a mountain near a nations borders can remote control the drones through the same satellite link by taking over the remote control when we hand the controls over and read all sensor data from all aircraft such as drones and whatever and come up with better strategies including how to jam or avoid jamming.
So a supercomputer can bring anything we have just one frame of information about from any sensor a man may have missed to the attention of a man who can make a decision.
Good thing Nvidia with the new Blackwell technology made a new chip that with just one rack on a server or datacenter is more powerful than the current most powerful supercomputer and it's Ai at 1.4 escale for one rack and supercomputers usually have many racks.
So within a few years tops we will be beyond exoscale to the next scale
There is no way to know if a man is piloting something inside or remotely or autonomously.
And no way to verify any of this without spilling other military secrets about any aircraft.
Because you would need insoections of hardware and possibly software to verify.
Then add in with SSD's you can hot swap datasets / instruction sets.
For example a drone learns from humans and from flying and doing missions. Then you can swap out the SSD and review everything at a base. Then you can decide if the algorithms the drone learned are good enough to go to a whole fleet or if you want to tweak.
Then anytime a mission needs something else entirely. Swap the SSD's out and new ones in and ready to go wants weapons or other equipment is loaded. And that would spherehead any attempt at knowing if an adversary is using ai because they could swap in a dumber system software set within minutes.
I figured at minimum supercomputers will help man and optionally take over the remote control a man normally uses. Just the processing of all image data and mapping faster and more efficiently than humans is a major bonus. And this doesn't have to be outside of any internal ai the drone as for when there is no communication. For example. During jamming the drone can complete the task and fly home because of terrain mapping it does while flying and also having maps preloaded from satellites including the live maps when not jammed from satellites.
There is nothing stopping us from doing any of this. The hardest part is finding a good setup where we don't always allow the drones to have control but is only optional when needed.
For example. We are in a bad war. Maybe it even went nuclear.
Well we can use autonomous drones for when we need a direct hit but we couldn't survive the mushroom cloud. A man could fly it all the way to target optionally unless it gets jammed at the last minute.
Sure we won't let AI be in control of nukes but if a war is bad enough. We may need to hit a hardened target precisely. For this a drone could get low and dive to the target with controlled flight. Either release a weapon or be the weapon.
Works even better if it's stealth.
Awesome investments for the US and NATO!
If the triton take out ccp landing craft it could be pretty useful
That's the plan in Taiwan. Flood the Ocean with drones similar to one's used by Ukrainians in the Black Sea.

Once production of weapons hit full stride in the US, Japan was swallowed whole. Question is just what it will take to wake the sleeping tiger! It’s ridiculous. Even when there is profit to be made this process can’t be moved to China. Greed tainted this system, but will also get it rolling.
Ramjet shells sounds pretty cool…
GLSDB missiles are counter measured by Russian jamming.
38:46 🤔
We can really just tell it to penetrate for a lil while…
and then explode.
Awesome updates for old technology
like me.
Cheaper, but will the projectiles pierce the armor as well as the M1A2 120mm main gun projectile also crew safety which tank better serves that?
So in Ukraine the drone war is getting scary. The soldiers getting attacked by those drones don't always see them. Sometimes they go about their business and even looked right at the drone above there head and didn't even notice.
Then when not having designated targets. They go out on hunts with drones 24x7. Day and night.
Then the scary parts is seeing drones do circles soldiers trying to get away from and trying to hit with sticks.
But the drone operator is toying with them because he could have already hit the button to kill him. Then goes in for the kill and target eliminated.
Or other footage i seen where a guy hides from a drond behind a tree but doesn't see the drone behind him.
Other things i seen on different media is how they also use land drones to go bomb them in foxholes or land drones to sometimes recover aircraft drones by hooking up and hauling them back.
Ukraine is a lot more experienced with the smaller civilian sized drones for combat than we are. Then add Russia is always on the hunt for drones. You sometimes hear them but can't pinpoint exactly where they are and you hope they don't see you.
Other things i seen is that sometimes when Ukraine launches drones into Russia then they get jammed. Keep going and then sometimes unjam after they are outside of jamming range and regain control.
And if you see one drone there is usually several around.
They fly in buildings with blown out windows or opened doors or blown out ealls and everything else to hit there targets such as men on foot.
Oddly the drones have been fairly accurate and most of the time hitting their targets.
I see at least one that managed to fly the drone in the tank hatch itself.
I seen other footage where another drone swings around. Stops for a second then darts at a Russian tank and the turret blows off.
Sometimes they are strapping old RPG style grenades to them for the tanks. Drone Still light enough to carry and blow up a Russian tank. They only need the explosive part of the rpg.
When jammed they send more drones out while sitting in a bunker and keep trying. The video feed usually gets jammed first. They use one drone that not dji brand. That has the target tracking and stuff some consumer drones have. Usually they replace optics with better optics. Infrared or whatever.
I been watching a lot of the journalist videos that came out recently.
Like Darwin's war from scripps news. It's about Ukraine's ace fpv pilot. And several other journalist shows about drones on the front lines in Ukraine that all came out within the last month or 2.
I forgot to add. When jammed they keep sending more out until successful. Then maybe the first few came up short but they only need one to make it to the target. So after a few drones or so they got the target despite the jamming.
Russia just developed a “shotgun” adapter to hunt for drones, very effective. Is like shooting a duck.
>Oddly the drones have been fairly accurate and most of the time hitting their targets.
Because you see only succesfull strikes? Even if 90 out of 100 are jammed/missed/downed you'll see 10 videos and say "wow, all of them reached targets".
Imagine how education in the U.S. could be improved if they put a tenth of what they use for weapons production into improving learning.

America will never admit it's losing a war
True.
We have. We lost Vietnam.
America will keep helping Ukraine unalive Russian life forms.
One question what engine does it have? Does it light up from low orbit sats like the abrams? (Due to the jet enginge)

That someone is you (if you pay taxes)
The M-10 "Booger". I did that!
No it's not a light tank. Its just a light weight tank made for airlift, and infantry support... like light tanks.
This is the same drone we see being tow by an Iranian small navy boat without nobody doing nothing about it.
Letmegetthisright. Russia fires 20-30,000 shells Per Day and the US went into this mess producing only 14,000 shells per Month ? Half a day's supply. And it will only reach a three day supply/Month in Two Years ( while Russia will again have increased its production over that time).
Meanwhile the Ukrainian ground forces advance WW1 style into this baffling barrage WITH NO AIR SUPPORT. 47:00 Humanitary Concerns ? Lets give Ukr. Cluster Munitions that drop indiscriminate landmines covering Donbas. eg: "Some 4 million to 6 million land mines and other unexploded munitions are estimated to have littered Cambodia's countryside"

is it fair to say the M10 Booker would be more vulnerable to "Javelin" type weapons?
They say "counter adversaries" , but they just meddle around for decades so they are the "adversaries" everywhere...
Meanwhile, Russia is dominating the battlefield with shovels and washing machines....
Ok.👍
_Russia is now one twentieth of one percent larger than it was in 2022, and all it cost them is half a million lives, and the respect of most of the world._ 😨 ⚒ - j q t -
