This forum is talking about how Ukraine is showing the U.S. a thing or two when it comes to drone battery tech, especially against China. The question is, can the U.S. learn anything from this and stay ahead in the tech race? And what about the drone battery wars? We know China has been pushing ahead with their drones, but how is this tech affecting the military world right now?
Seriously though, I wouldn’t spit on Chinese war drones, we don’t really know what they have.

Anyone underestimating China’s drone capability in a military sense needs to look at the videos of their drone displays with 7000-10,000 drones being operated by only a few people. Instead of making pictures with lights, they could easily carry explosives, and nothing is going to take down a swarm that large, and it probably costs less than a single missile.

I don’t doubt their military capability with drones. But this is a really bad example.
Those drone shows are all short range WiFi. The first few were spectacular feats of engineering, but at this point you just need 1 person with a WiFi router and Blender.
I am into drones and did some research on how to do this recently for a different application, but it was far too simple and routine for the application I was looking for.
@Sage
Ever see the movie “Angel Has Fallen”?
Those explosions are over the top, but there would be 100x as many drones.

Oh for sure, I just remember watching that the first time and thinking “holy shit…that’s a terrifying concept”
@Sage
It’s not about the tech (tech is good for sure) but it’s about numbers and the willingness to use them. Circa cold war: Soviet and US.
All it takes is 1.
You mean the drones Ukraine imported from China?

Should have. Would have. Could have.

Voted for not Trump, but he knows China’s watching. If we can’t support a nation connected by rail, how are we going to float supplies to Taiwan? He may be evil, but he isn’t oblivious.

A Fox News host with Nazi tattoos all over his body.
I wonder if I can buy some 3000-8000mah lipos from wild hornets to support them.
Sure.
