The “Lucas,” The U.S. copy of Shahed-136 drones. It is a tool. That has swarming ability. The new hiemind swarming ability tells how fast this technology advances. Those drones can be equipped with the seeker. That is used in Maverick missiles. And the AI that helps it fly to the target without the GPS. This kind of automatic drone can operate over long distances. The accuracy of those drones can be enough to destroy an individual aircraft. The success of the Ukrainian drone strikes forces countries to rethink their defense.
The drone is cheap. It should be easy to jam. But for some reason. The jamming is not effective. Even a small drone that hits things. Like submarines, oil refineries or munitions depots can cause big damage. The drone is equipped with anti-tank warheads, like a remotely launched bazooka rocket. Can be used. Against the individual armoured cars.
The adoption of new technology is always problematic. When new technology is adopted. That process requires information. And lots of training.
The drone swarms will cooperate with airborne, surface, and underwater units. Those drone swarms can operate along with submarines. And the NAVY SEAL minisubs had an exercise to practice cooperation with unmanned underwater systems. This type of technology makes submarines and Navy special units more advanced and more effective.
Still today. The miniature drones require a larger system to carry them to the operational area. But the drone swarm can also act as a bodyguard for larger submarines. The drone can send the signals. That makes it look like a full-size missile submarine. Drones can operate very close to each other. And that makes them look like a larger target than they are.
The torpedo-carrying minisub or underwater kamikaze drones can attack enemy submarines. So that kind of system. They can turn the role of the larger submarines. And they make underwater operations more dangerous. The small-sized drone. These uses. A very small plutonium battery. They can operate underwater. And airborne virtually unlimitedly. This means that new quadcopters can operate underwater. And airborne. The only problem is that. What if those plutonium batteries fall into the wrong hands?
The new drone delivery systems. Like Blitzbox, these are the tools. That can turn almost any vehicle or vessel. Things. Like, cargo planes can deliver those drones over the battlefield. Agents can also transport that kind of remotely controlled drone box deep behind lines.
Nine U.S. destroyers have laser weapons to shoot down those drone swarms. But as we know, technology advances. The drone boxes that can wait in some backyard, masked as some regular container. It can cause terrible situations. And the line between civil drone swarms and the military killer drones is very thin. A Chinese company has created a drone container. That drone container is meant for the fireworks. But those systems are very easily transformed into military systems.
