Biden considers giving devastating Switchblade tank-killing 'kamikaze' drones ...

It's a joke. A drone flying at 115 mph with a tiny warhead cannot drive through armor. :rolleyes:

"As part of the package, the Biden administration will provide Switchblade drones, according to people briefed on the plans. Military officials call the weapon, which is carried in a backpack, the “kamikaze drone” because it can be flown directly at a tank or a group of troops, and is destroyed when it hits the target and explodes.

“These were designed for U.S. Special Operations Command and are exactly the type of weapons systems that can have an immediate impact on the battlefield,” said Mick Mulroy, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense."

This is an amazing device. It did not exist at 12:50, then had willed itself into existence at 12:58, and finally willed itself out of existence at 12:59. Whenever the Russians try to destroy it, it will just will itself out of existence for a few minutes. And those are the facts... according to Truth Detester.

On a more serious point, this could be an amazing technology, but it is untested, so who really knows. We will know when it gets tested.

It's 'Future Warfare'. Drones. Mechanical Warfare. 'Operators' sitting miles and miles from the Battlefield.
Ukraine's ragtag Guerrilla Fighters taking on the Might of the Russian War Machine.

History is being made before our eyes.

Actually a compliment. A handful of 'Territorial Defense Forces' standing up to Russian Tanks, Planes, Missiles, Warships.

No one respected the Stinger Missile before the Afghans used it to decimate the Soviet Air Force. This might be even better. Or it might not be. We will see.

Yes, history is being made. Thank God we got rid of that loser trump.

Cost. Can a 'Nickel' take out a 'Dollar'? Military Industrial Complex is having a field day using Ukraine as a real life testing ground.

What is the cost of one of those old worn-out Soviet era Planes compared to these low-cost, precision, non-human, drone weapons?
 
I keep up with Libya civil war ( the one NATO caused) and Turkish drones were a game changer
Hiftar ( from Bengazi) was getting close to taing Tripoli but Erdgan sent them in
He also sent in Syrian jihadists

that war is essentially stalemated - no real government in Libya since Qadaffi

(Keep in mind, the GREATER STRATEGY, may be to make PERMANENT ENEMIES of Russia and Ukraine, SLAVIC BROTHERS with a common ethnic history)

meaning no peace agreement will ever hold.
we did a fine job of overthrowing the pro- Russian president during the Maidan (2014)
This war is the ultimate outcome of that.

In typical fashion we meddle ,de-stabilize and fracture the country and then wonder why wars
we fomented break out :palm:

I see your point, but it is more like a penny taking out a dollar. It is going to be interesting to watch. We may end up with better weapons because of this testing ground.

That's YOUR Narrative.

Bottom Line: Putin is defeating his 'Russiafication' of Ukraine. Putin is literally PUSHING Ukraine into the Arms of Europe.
The West doesn't have to do ANYTHING.

Putin has now become a Bigger Clown than Trump.

Yeah. Where's the 'Biggest Bang for the Buck'?
:) I heard something about the US being freaked out over these new weapon systems. All that million US dollar glitz being taken out by some 'camel-jockey and a Drone Kit'. Soooo ...

that ship has already sailed. NATO expansion and uber-militarization of Ukraine
as well as the US complicit in the Euromaidan put a nail in the coffin of Uk as a neutral state

Your girl Vicky Nuland is a cause of the conditions for this war

One can condemn the war but also understand a miltarized hostile Uk of Russian borders was always going to be a problem

Peace agreements that dont address this, just push the war down the road for another ignition in the future

False Narrative.

'Russia' was in the 'Family of Nations'. Germany saw no problem with relying on Nordstream 2 and Russia for it's Energy. 'Integration' with the World was in everyone's interest.
First, Putin gets kicked out of G-8, ... now Putin invades Ukraine.

What an Idiot. The longer this lasts, the worse it gets for Putin. I can see this ending in Putin losing his Job. One way or another.
