Are you shitting me? This is fake right? Thats creepy and insane.

these are not muzzle flashes but thrusters to control the position.
- right. but the tubes it carries are bombs.invisiblechamber
- doubt it, looks more like fuel storage? this thing is built for low gravity environments.gung_hoek
- killer UAVs all employ rotary concepts of some sort.gung_hoek

whats the use of that?

This is the future. Our military superiority will be so great, we won't even have armies anymore. Just these remote control gizmos.

oh god.
the time of swords and fists are really over.

OK, so this is ostensibly a zero-G satellite killer. Great stuff.
Now, why on Earth are they testing it to maintain a stationery position in a gravity-bound environment?
- way cheaper than testing in space.gung_hoek
- My point is more that its primary engine seems very well suited for working in a gravity-bound environment.Nairn
- You wouldn't test an ion engine by pushing it way past its typical envelope, lofting it 2 metres in the air, would you?Nairn
- still gravity at low earth orbitmonNom
- oh. I guess somebody labelled the video bullshittily. satellite killing doesn´t work with vehicles like this.gung_hoek
- I would now. :)gung_hoek
- For sure, but that bit is balanced about by the booster rocket's escape velocity trajectory.Nairn
- er.. that was to monNom and was supposed to say 'balanced-out'Nairn
- Mind you, I assume these could be launched from satellites. Still - you don't need THAT much thrust toNairn
- .. counter the gravity in a low Earth orbit. Just seems to me like this thing's designed to work on Earth. To scare us shitlessNairn
- shitless..
!Nairn - sure, but still, you wouldn´t use some small-ass probe hovering in space gently for capping a satellite.gung_hoek
- All you need is a handful of ball bearings and an orbital slingshot..Nairn
- you either laserblast that shit, or use a big shrapnel blast from a big ass rocket. no?gung_hoek
- maybe it lasts longer than 3 seconds in space? I mean, it's not gonna do much damage on earth with that run time.monNom
- notice that all boosters we pulsing... suggesting a variable rate of thrust.monNom
- Guess that depends on what weaponry it has on board?

fuel efficiency = 0
stealth (hoping they'll deploy it only in space) = 0
scare factor = 10000
now add this fucked on top of this other fucker and we're fucked,- haha - that was fucking close to my thoughts.invisiblechamber

cant the GOV just stick to satellite targeting and "bombs away" like we have been doing?
Playing god must be much more fun.

take a look at Orson Scott Card's 'Enders Game' series. it's based around future wars played out via remote control and the kids they train up early don't realise it's not a game but real warfare. every year makes the concept seem more and more real. awesomeness.
- would you like to play a game?Jnr_Madison
- same concept in toys (1992)

seen the Micro Air Vehicle video from the Air Force Research Lab ?

I can't (for the life of me) find anything about it, but I saw footage of a weapon test over the past couple of years which consisted of this spinning puck thing which would be fired over a ..er.. 'convoy' of tanks (you know, all spread out in formation). It would somehow work out where each of the tanks was, then fire some kind of heavy-loaded explosive at each of them in turn. Fucker could take out, like, 20-odd tanks in mere seconds.
Anyway, whatever it was - it's the kind of thing that would sit quite nicely on a terrestrial version of that demonic mkv. It'd only need a few seconds aloft - you could even do an anti-personnel version, dividing the kill mass of the anti-tank version and upscaling the computation abilities to be able to take out a hundred targets at once.
Fuck me, this coffee is good - nothing better than being slightly wired and envisaging highly efficient future murder-devices.
