For anyone curious. Domestic cost is $20k.

So that's still like a 50 to 1 cost ratio on the kill, and I guess that doesn't include ordinance cost.

Where's the drone watching the drone watching the drone?

I think that's partially why even though they can, they still require a human to make the kill decision.

Once the drone makes the decision itself it's a whole other game.

Short of full on AI controlled, I imagine in the near future we'll see AI handling the target tracking and shooting once aquired and a human will authorize the targets.

Shit, you're right.

Now we just need some missle recursion and the war is a slam dunk win!

No its 17 launchers and each launcher has 8 launchers, so 136 launchers.

Useless without missles though. So many launchers!

I had to check, did they mean launchers or batteries.

Are you that daft?

It was a joke about how stupid it would be to only be launchers.

OP wasn't sure and had to verify for us.

OP wasn't sure if they were sending the missles until they read the article.

I made a what I thought was funny comment about how they were only going to send the launchers, and fuck the missles.

Edit: also in format of NO SOUP FOR YOU, but I should have left the "though" off for that.

It was a joke based off what OP said...

watching the FPV perspective, I would be so sick trying to pilot these things.

Also that went on forever, I don't understand how it was able to carry so much.

Moving the equipment into place if it's from far enough away also makes it target they can watch for and get in transit while it's probably more exposed.
