People whining about 3D printed guns always forget about the much more terrifiying things that can be made with a 3D printer - like a kamikazie drone.
The Australians have a cardboard kamikaze drone. The hard part would be sourcing enough electronics in a warzone.
If only we could be sure that $400 drones will only ever be used to kill tanks, and never to kill neighborhoods …
I’m waiting for the panic that will happen at the first political assassination using drones
Several years ago, before COVID, the Japanese government was on high alert because someone parked a drone on the roof of the Prime Minister’s office. Small traces of (harmless) radiation were detected on the drone and no one knows who put it there or why.
It’s entirely possible someone just flew it around near Fukushima, brought it to near the PM’s office, and then parked it on the roof as a political statement
You can. It takes a much bigger drone to kill an entire neighborhood.
Yeah for now. What happens when someone attaches a laser to one that can start fires?
Oh boi, these autonomous machines will surely never be used against a civilian population!
I wonder if Russia is aware that Ukraine is using drones made with parts from China to take out their tanks lmao
What are they gonna do about it? They can’t tell anyone anything least of all China. Russia is neutered.
TIL a single T-72B3 costs less than $2M.
It began ages ago, Ukraine aren’t the first to use them in war. They were used extensively in Azerbaijan/Armenia before then.
But Ukraine took it to another level by the extent to which they’re using drones including naval drones.
They are using everything from large military drones, improvised jetski-powered suicide drones, tiny FPV suicide drones, and everything in between.
I dunno, I’d say if anyone’s taking it to the next level it’s the US. They’re currently making unmanned wings of drone jet fighters controlled by a manned aircraft in the area, as well as these big drone airships that can launch hundreds or thousands of small drones. Ukraine is just kind of using existing drone technology in obvious ways. It’s certainly noteable in terms of the growth in use of the technology, but not really pushing the boundaries that much.
Except maybe the water drones, they’re pretty novel. I don’t remember anyone talking about doing that before they did it.
I went to check something from the autotldr and must say, it’s a decent read. First half is a little intro-ie but it’s a good reasonable length read. Would recommend.
And Lem is once again proved to be a prophet. Y’all thought he was just the sci-fi writer behind Solaris
How do you “kill” an inanimate object
Make it support java, install iTunes on it, or attach it to a consumer grade HP printer usually does the trick.
Thank you 🙏
With good inantimate objects.
