    Not at all surprised.
    The AI computations would probably make them fly better than humans.

    Firstly, this is really bad for us all, but when I saw the operator was wearing a mask, I realized we are doomed for sure. If a crazy person like that could be authorised to operate such a powerfull weapon, we should stop and think.

    Taking the human element out of war is not good. War in general isn’t good but this makes war much worse. Lack of empathy by war machines is scary.

    “ In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed…”

    If you want to impress me, make it capable of shooting at ground troops- and hitting them while extracting injured troops.

    Well I can see them using this and hot zones where they can’t risk a chopper pilot. Sending in a drone like this would be much more appropriate under heavy fire, the only thing you’re really risking is the Drone and you can replace that.

      Until all sides have the same tech then you render the entire process of war, the cost, which is what ends war, as null. Making the need to strike civilian targets to force defeat as military targets are worthless.

      @CtrlALlTerrorS war is fought on multiple levels, you don’t have to take your enemies lives in order to destroy them.

    If it ain’t not need no human crew (note my excellent grammar), could you replace what would have been the weight of the humans with extra fuel and ammo?

    Without Pilot Black Hawk Helicopter is Excellent.

    March 6, 2022 at 5:36 pm

    That’s a pretty dumb idea as far as safety measures go. Let’s say someone hacks this and tends to crash it or use it as a weapon, are there any safety features in case this happens?

    Just plug my ethernet into the tablet, what happens if he drops the ipen ?lol

    this tech would be awesome for small helicopters doing resupply over hot LZ’s no need to risk a pilot plus a Heli small enough just to fit the resupply in would be quicker and harder to hit
