Fpv has a very storied history, yet we don’t see these bombings in peacetime. Like fucking ever. Even in the U.S.
Its almost like pre-made drones are locked down and tracked, and homemade fpv quads take like 20 hours of sim time just to keep in the air.
That’s before we discuss the fact that the munitions Ukraine straps to them are unobtanium for normal people.
This is really cheap if you’re a military with a bunch of people, training facilities, and explosives, but still a big pain in the ass for anyone else. I guess if you have a really angry hobbiest with hundreds of man hours of flight time, and explosives knowledge you’re in danger.
The only RC hobbiest that pissed off I know lives in New Zealand.
If drones are weaponized, they become subject to the Second Amendment and the public’s right to buy them would become more protected, not less.
I don’t think there’s a single common interpretation of the second amendment in which that would be true.
I mean it’s two sentenses, about as clear as mud. Could have been talking only about small arms, or all arms available at the time, or future weapons nobody had even dreamed up yet.
“This equipment is mainstream, but it does not just cost a few dollars to make, so I think this stuff is being sold either at or below cost,” Cui says.
Wat? Why would they do that?
“The things that work at taking them down are machine guns, lasers, and massive jammers—none of which can be used in a city,” Cui says.
Well, and a regular old shotgun but you can’t use that in a city either.
This article seems… off. I can’t put my finger on it but hmm.
