This Drone can save us millions in purchasing , logistics , maintaining and deploying runaway dependent Recon Aircraft and Flight personal.

I can see it deployed along our long porous Borders , Coastlines and National Parks for real time surveillance , Interdiction and even Intelligence gathering.

The Indian Army has already purchased and put the Drone into Service .

ile intelligence Americans have is of another level. common sense ndio shida tu

Wait until the terrorists decide that 72virgins is not a good idea anymore and they get hold of these.

I really do not understand Why we have not wiped out these misguided idiots by now …

It is almost as if someone somewhere wants this menace to continue … :mad::mad:

5

Its the idea you cant kill, kill these guys, their sons will come for you in 15 years…the cycle will always continue

They don’t have wives …
That’s where the 72 Virgins come in …
Their new recruit’s come from those Madrassa’s run by rogue Sheikh’s …:mad:

Go on YouTube and search for Ameca, Engineered Arts or Boston Dynamics and meet some real AI.

This is what the police should be using to track cattle thieves in laikipia. very effective

No doubt …
Lots of advanced , really expensive “pie-in-the-sky” sort of technology around …

My focus in these series is on practical , small footprint , affordable and potent force multiplayer equipment and processes …

Think of the millions in savings of Aircraft , personal and allied infrastructure that this Drone would replace … :D:D:D

Some bonobos still think China is ahead of the USA in military technology

In human conflict , Technology is just one of the important components…
Strategy , Vision , Cohesion and clear goals are equally important …

Sadly , these are lessons only learned after conflicts and massive loss of lives …

1/ The occupation of Afghanistan by British , Russians and Americans in that order …
All fails …
Why …???
Wrong strategy and goals.

2/ The occupation of Eastern Europe by Lenin after World War 2 …
Fail …
Why …
Over time , the citizens of East Germany , CZ , Hungary , Poland , Lithuania , Estonia and Georgia had enough of Soviet oppression and the USSR …
Putin will soon learn the hard way if he is tempted to Invade Georgia …

3/ The occupation of Vietnam by the French and Americans …
Fail …
Why …??
Wrong strategy and goals.

4/ The Iraq of Saddam Hussein was such a threat at one time even to Israel …
Then Saddam decided he should grab a “19th Province” , tiny Kuwait …
That was the beginning of his demise …
Fail …
Why …
Wrong strategy and goals.

The big bully on the block now is China …
Their eyes are all over … Taiwan , Hong Kong , Asia and Africa …

Many seem to forget that a very fragile glue holds China together …
Internal problems are simmering under the carpet in Tibet , Mongolia , repression inside China itself and in Hong Kong …

Things that simmer soon come to a boil …
The invasion of Taiwan will mark the beginning of the end for China as you know it … the same way the USSR disintegrated without a shot…

Superior technology is not a guarantee of victory in Warfare …
Mark my words … :D:D
