Chinese defence prime China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) has unveiled its backpackable Cai Hong-817 (Rainbow-817, or CH-817) micro-UAV at Airshow...
Just a reminder that if China has shit like this the U.S. almost certainly does too, and it might be more advanced. Fucking scary implications for future resistance to empire
Absolutely love how libs will get so worried and upset about East Germany's Stasi when large US cities employ probably the same amount of surveillance personnel as the entirety of the GDR.
This is why I think anyone who says the USA is a free, stable democracy is completely and utterly full of shit. Just completely fucking full of shit. The "democracy" is just window dressing, if we're so free why do we need the GREATEST security apparatus ever devised? Like legit the US government probably knows when you fart
In still think that this tech is actually pretty useless. It's just vaporware that's used to excuse massive amounts of funding being pumped into the MIC.
Remember when NYPD got one of those robodogs to patrol a low income housing complex and someone just tossed it out a window within like a week?
Besides the fbi, local pd in medium sized cities had drones and helicopters at the protests. They're ready to expand full scale COIN operations domestically
Not as much as you'd think. Everyone knows that drones are the future for combat but you can't justify huge price tags on them like you can with a jet fighter or warship. So they don't get invested in as much as you'd think. The only drones we take seriously are the big hunter/killer stuff. Everything else is treated like a toy.
Its hard to guage the disparity in drone tech between the US and China militaries since both will hide their tech but overstate what they do show. To get a solid comparison, look at the commercial market. The top of the line commercial drones are from DJI a Chinese company. Professionals will tell you everything else is just a hobbiests toy.
Commoners having autonomous drones is sort of a stretch. A cheap FPV drone that gets piloted to suicide ram another is more reasonable, assuming the target doesn't evade. If the target can evade then even an autonomous one would be hard.
Jamming their radios seems to be the way forward. Cheaper consumer models can be jammed with simple WiFi attack. Military grade ones you'll need something like a radio emitter.
Also the project drags out for 10 years and cost 10x times the original budget, before finally they took a coin flip whether to push it into service or scrap it altogether.

Most of the planes we have domestically are surveillance planes. Check out this AFB in OKC

i just let one rip as an act of protest

It's still vaporware, incredibly easy to outsmart.
Imagine getting owned by the vaporware auto-turret
Couldn't be me
So the solution is to walk without rhythym? Real life becoming more like Dune every day
Put a rock in your shoe whenever you go to a protest, apparently.

At least you can ride them and attack the empire with them.

but they don't even need to because the left still doesn't exist here
I keep joking about this but no shit they will probably have Half Life 2 style man hacks in the near future

Yup, we have them.
That's cool as shit and it's a shame the military has them

we need autonomous anti-drone drones at protests. like the modern equivalent of using hawks to kill carrier pigeons.
We have to create our own battle drones to destroy the government drones. This will be the robot war

instead of ramming, stick a net gun on it

The usa military tech is trash bro. It's just all the same recycled shit

The Houthis seem to be holding out just fine.
