*reads headline and immediately goes to see if I got free money*

20 bucks says somehow, before his career is over, Bradford will be on the Browns at some point.

And a Russian pilot flying by at 400+ kn would see the spinning barrels of a gatling gun how exactly? You are a fine representative of our great nation, dumb as fuck, and totally illiterate as to real world issues.

Not a fun incident for sure, but kudos to whichever sailor took this photo. It is the tits.

Yeah, whether the Russians figured this out or not, Tyler is clearly missing the forest for the trees on this one. He’s envisioning a C2 challenge on the scale of controlling a regiment of these things, when in reality you’re looking at only controlling a handful in the highest-risk situations.

Did you read Tyler’s article? The point is, it’s easier to keep a UAV at 50,000 feet in view of satellite communications than a baby tank driving around a city street. Try driving around a city while keeping a view of the southern sky. There are places you won’t be able to go.

Relevant or not, Russia seems to make all the things that i think up in dreams.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. The operators could be riding in a MBT or APC just a mile behind this RC “point man”, which would take the initial fire and expose insurgents.

I could see it being used as a really close screening unit ahead of a manned main battle group. Not quite recce, but still ahead to 1. absorb rounds, and 2. engage anything in sight. The problem with stuff like this is DFing the controller and vehicle wouldn’t be too hard.

You know that somewhere in a Lockheed Martin design room a group of engineers is sheepishly ripping up the plans for a weaponized burning plywood wall.

Supposedly the regulars were not well paid, if they got paid at all. The millions (more like billions and trillions) the US has given in aid either disappeared or got squandered away at the government levels via corruption.

How is it irrelevant?

Thats bread and salt. A traditional Slavic greeting. Your comment is just as stupid as the photo.

That SU-34 is a damned fine looking Airplane.
