Until he gets us to Mars he shouldn’t be allowed to buy anything!

I had ‘archangel’ providing over watch the whole time. He was running a 11.9ftlb .22. I don’t take chances!

show us your hunting knives and multitools

He lived local to me and I went to see him in person. He was a sound fella and skilled. -
I once sold a .177 in an Aldi car park and had a mate for muscle if it went sideways. So yes, I’d say so.

Not even the cadets.

It bothers me that he seems to credit Churchill with big stick diplomacy.

Our machine overlords will send us back down pit. Your mob will be living the dream again!

So you might say the free market righted itself

They’ll have had MBDA and DSTL sat down considering how to mitigate that risk. It’s also a huge opportunity for a field trial… I can see them being fitted to some sort of vehicle to evade the Russians, teamed up with their drones to locate and recon the enemy. Program the missiles with that enemy location and force data, fire them off and let them hunt. On a shore battery, it’ll deny Russia the use of any small landing crafts for an amphibious landing and make using large landing ships a bit lively to say the least!

I love that the MoDs comms satellite network is called Skynet and it even predates the film franchise.

Not really sure what it is. I think there’s a risk that if we don’t merge with ai then we’ll be replaced by it. But I’d rather we stayed in touch with nature rather than completely leave it. So no I don’t think I’d be in favour of transhumanism really.

This is a promo type thing for brimstone. It was never integrated with apache but demonstrates some of the products functionality. The missiles aren’t networked but when fired in salvos of up to 12 I think, their on board algorithms reduce the likelihood of missiles striking the same target. Stuff like that and meteor is superior to what the yanks have. Spear 3 is an evolution of brimstone and will I believe be truly networked for swarming salvos. What we’re talking about similar sorts of intelligence but in drones.

Have a nose around the web about brimstone and spear 3. Or meteor. All British MBDA products.

It’s quite possibly Pandora’s box. So yeah but I can’t see as its possible to regulate it tbh. The competitive advantages of it are going to be so huge that in a competitive world someone will break the agreement to get the advantage. Basically if you’re not working on it and using it you’ll be beaten by the guys that are.

They’re just experimenting with drones working together autonomously. Yeah the drones are making their own decisions, albeit in line with their programming. At the moment drones in combat have to be told to go here and there and what not. What they’re experimenting with is removing the man who tells them that and programming them in such a way that they understand some basic level of mission strategy. If drone X gets killed and it’s role was really important then rather than a man having to decide to redirect another to that role the drones do it themselves. That sort of stuff.

I reckon the submarine domain is where it’ll get really interesting. Modern submarines are the most expensive and technologically complex assets in the battlespace. They kill defence budgets so most nations can never afford enough, if any. Couple that with the fact that they are incredibly useful strike weapons given the amount of open ocean, and the physical problems with submarine communication, cheaper unmanned submarines working as wingmen to high end manned subs would potentially be huge enablers. From my view, when you consider signals outside of the acoustic spectrum, like EM, wake

Are you asking about that post or my other one?

Two of the buzz words in weapons development currently are networking and AI. We've seen the unprecedented proliferation of unmanned combat and recon drones in the last decade or so. There's trials going on recently with how to get these things 'smarter' and more coordinated, as you say swarming technologies. Decent guided weapons already have some degree of decision making ability. Programmed to 'hunt' in a designated area for enemy targets with the ability to prioritise high value or avoid high risk. Applying that to drones and incorporating AI takes it to the next level. Having ev

The right way... you mean like the EU was (and Russia for that matter) pre 2014 in Ukraine? Taking over with a cheque book as WILF eloquently put it. Same as basically every nation does in this great game. Foreign aid anyone? I haven't a problem with it really, every nation, even superpowers, need partners. The terms of any agreement are there in writing when you pick yours. Pick wisely. There's only one reason the Chinese aren't doing the military power projection play, and that's because they're not ready to... <play impending doom music> There's arguably only two nation

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong BUT, in other industries if a company didn’t embrace the emerging and dominant management methodologies of the time to remain competitive then they’d either go bust or just keep their heads afloat until they eventually folded with the owners retiring.

What I don’t understand is if it’s so simple as supermarkets doing whatever they want why farmers aren’t cooperatively striking? NFU? If supermarkets can’t get eggs at the price they want then they’ll pay more surely? Naive view sure, but I’d like to hear why. If farmers are really going bust at current prices then the supply will collapse and the prices will have to go up to bolster it anyway. Ive got mates in farming and we’ve all listened to how farming is f****d for decades. But they’re all still managing skiiing holidays and new discos/RRs… even the non land owning lads still af

Yeah the Chinese are the good guys! If only the bad children of Britain weren’t so mighty, the rest of the worlds powers would spread sunshine and rainbows and we’d all live in a utopia.
