Everything is built around the pilot and the cockpit, which is why you have modern fighters costing millions upon millions of dollars to build and maintain. Drones are barely a fraction of the cost; sure, the average drone controller doesn't have the lightning-fast reflexes of the fighter pilot, but they don't need to. You lose a drone, just sent in the next dozen. You pilot a plane, you could get killed if it's shot down, so the military loses an expensive-to-train pilot as well.

"absence of weapons that could take the drones down" armenian invaders had those weapons but as video suggested they were not capable of using them effective. Even Azerbaijani forces baited armenian ADS's by sending un-piloted old planes to their way and when armenians activated their systems and shoot them down, revealing their positions. Azerbaijani forces instantly knocked them out of combat with Harops or TB2s.

People said the same things about submarine warfare, at the beginning of WW2 Germany had free reign of the Atlantic. By the end of the war German Submarines could not leave port with out getting attacked. Technology will counter drones, until they are no longer viable, and the next thing will come along.
I don't know, we're nearly 2 years into the war and Ukrainian drones are still regularly spotting for artillery, destroying ammo depots, spotting for infantry, destroying bunkers, destroying troop transports, destroying tanks, and dropping grenades directly onto soldiers. "Ukrinfiorm TV" just uploaded a montage about 10 minutes ago of Ukrainian drones reeking all manner of havoc. The Russians are also, unfortunately, using drones now. They remain pretty viable and it appears they'll remain so.
In my opinion the era after the "drone era" will be an era where every single country will try to reset each others' technologies with EMP's (as the comment right above me stated) and other similar tech. Turkey even sabotaged a French battleship (?) in the 2020 Eastern Mediterreanen Crisis.
so submarines are "no longer viable"...? Or are they a key component of virtually every naval force in the world, from North Korea to the US? No weapon system can win a war by itself. Of course the U-Boots couldn't defeat the combined navies and air forces of the Allies, they needed the support of the Luftwaffe which they didn't really have. And they kept on being a threat until the very last days of the war.
IIRC, the Iraqis who surrendered to the drone during Desert Storm did so because they quickly figured out that drone was the spotter for the two USN battleships lobbing 16" shells at them.
@@nojusgailiunas3459 ik but unlike Ukrocopium, Russocopium doesn't exist, because we don't claim that Ukraine is winning even when losing 90K troops and countless prized, overhyped Western equipment in a diastrous mockery of an offensive
There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of kamikaze drone videos chasing down Russian conscripts compared to ONE video that the Lancet managed to hit the side of the Leopard, I doubt this video is too clickbait. The Armchair Historian isn’t in the best financial state so whatever he does is in his interest.
@@jhdsfalsjhdfjashdkhvjfldld8301 I see that the trolls are very active yet again, both sides use drones very effectively but Ukraine has the clear advantage in numbers, tactics and training for their drones. They can keep an entire settlement (Krynki) under fire control with drones. A video of Lancet setting off the smokescreen of a Leopard 2 isn't nearly as impressive. As for effectiveness I suggest you look at the daily lists produced by Andrew Perpetua. Ukraine uses drones much more and much more effectively than Russia.
@@wol06fi89 I get it, you support ukraine, fine; but what you are saying is wrong. There is even footage of Lancets striking parked ukranian Mig 29's at their airports very far away from the fronts. You live in a information bubble, only consuming Ukranian propaganda, why don't you widen your horizons a bit and don't verdose on ukropium. Ukraine knows how to use drones, but to claim they have a clear advantage is just wishfull thinking.
Curious if there will be a part 2 talking about kamikaze drones like U.S switch blades and russian lancet. I would love to know more history behind those kind of drones
What if you took a tank and gave it a little recon drone attached by a wire (So it can't just lose connection and sends data faster.) and somehow connect the drone's camera to the cannon so it can fly over a building and calculate the shot necessary to shoot at a target through the building or other obstacle without the tank actually needing line of sight.
Eh, wouldn't really give much of an advantage. Shooting trough a building to hit an armoured target just will have the building render your round useless, besides tank combat isn't like on WoT, it takes place on distances where such an advantage would be pointless. Maybe it could be useful for mortar teams in urban environments to hit out of sight targets yeah, but the wire is pointless.
The way Drones are being used shows that ballistic anti air platforms like the German Gepard aren't obsolete as people said they were. Slow flying targets that are way cheaper than most missile defences. Having anti aircraft guns would be better taking out swarms too.
With the us and israel showcasing working laser based AA systems they will soon become obsolete again. Platforms like the gepard are a temp band aid style fix untill proper solutions become operational. they are not going to stay here long term
The way commercial none military fpv drone already makes a lot of genuine long time military tactic/equipments, and vehicles obsolete show how powerful the thing could even be if there is a true military version of it. For, example; longer signal/flight, harder to detect, faster, packs more deadlier explosive, mounted mini machine gun/rocket launches, all that only cost 2x as much as the commercial one
With the ever-increasing chances of global conflict in the coming years, I am more worried about drones within the battlespace than anything else. The idea that 3-5 $50 drones-bought on Amazon-can eliminate a whole infantry platoon, is terrifying. While they won’t be the focal point of warfare, they will assuredly alter it, forever.
Fortunately, we're probably not at that point. Drones like that lack capability and the most prominent use of drones continues to be in recon at that level. Not to mention, that the EW defenses on there are still plenty able to keep that from happening as well. In any case, it's best to look at drones as the new machine gun. The battle space is forever changed and there's now nowhere to hide. Information's place in warfare is now magnified as at this point, if you can see it, you can probably kill it.
We're not at that point yet, but how many years until sending soldiers out into the front lines becomes suicidal? I think drones will change warfare in a very big way soon. If it becomes very easy to take out any units or vehicles you want what happens after that? I don't know much about it but it's interesting.
Hey, why weren't the shahids mentioned? Or Russian lancets, which are a little homing in on the target? If I'm not mistaken, it was from the lancets that the Leopard was shot down. Examples of drones from other countries ?
Shaheds are basically low cost low performance cruise missiles and thus not really a drone, Lancet is a loitering munition since they usually only attack when a different reconnaissance drone has spotted the target. Right now drones are dominating but with time they’ll stop being meta due to new techs to counter drones, weapons don’t stay meta forever.
@Bababoy6969 Not even remotely close to true. The Bayraktar single handedly took down the 60 mile Russian convoy that was supposed to take Kyiv, the Reaper drone managed to dislodge ISIS from hundreds of positions, etc.

Although he has great material and visuals I also noticed a lack of objectivity when it comes to newer videos. I do watch all of the channel's videos but I tens to skip the modern day topics due to western bias. This is why I would advise all of the history content creators to skip the modern day wars and topics until they become the history themselves. Only then you will be able to study those events without bias.
@@crashoveryu how do you know things without them being on the news or on youtube? How do you know he wasnt correct? "Western Bias" just means anything you dislike.
I am actually in college studying drones currently and it is interesting seeing what the drone professionals view is possible with current drone technology, versus what the rest of the world views is possible with drone technology. The main advantage I think there will be with drones is the fact that they are very hard to detect without active radar, and active radar is very easy to destroy in a military setting, with manned helicopters and fighter jets a person on the ground can usually detect them if the are flying at a relatively low level, but a drone flying even at the really low level of 400ft is vey hard to spot, let alone hear, especially when you take into account the extreme noise pollution of an active war zone.
Fun fact: Turkey sends UAV's into Greek air zone on a regular basis, usually making them raise a fighter jet. It's both annoying to mess with this and is a mess for maintenance in my view.
“People perceive that AI is needed for quick decision making, especially in the threat of nuclear weapons as a response to them.” *Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker intensifies*
I think the best solution to stop jamming cheap drones is basically to make the drone follow the signal and kamikaze the emitter and if multiple drones are being jammed, then the drones would be in a sense be swarm the emitter, basically making the drones only weakness would be literally destroy it's electronics by either by EMP or good old storm of lead.
They should consider rebooting the Terminator franchise for one last go at it, with one concept being that a Genisys-like OS computer evolves into a Skynet-like AI supercomputer, which then evolves into a Legion-like global exascale AI ultra system.
Drones will not be disgeraded as a threat by militaries which are already seeking ways to counter them, the russian have used their EW very effectively and they have also equiped some tank units with a new signal jamming device.
This is why despite their previous blunders and heavy losses, its better not to underestimate the Russian they are still considerably tenacious and formidable.

Fingers crossed we get something closer to Girls' Frontline where autonomous units suppliment infantry/armor on the ground instead of just skies full of AI planes looking to blow up a thing or two.
Funny thing is that the T-Dolls in Girls Frontline are weaponized civilian dolls that were originally used for hospitality services and also used for sex. So technically they are weaponized sex dolls.
@wol06fi89 Oh I'm sure they do, I don't actually follow any specific war channels, I just see the videos posted on Twitter, or Instagram (I don't have Tik Tok or Telegram)
This is good and well researched video. I have wrote Master Work in AI for military use in 2021 and pretty much everything that was said here corelates with my research from back then. I would like to add few more things, more related to AI than drones but seeing how these two are very close together I wanted to share few more details. -the statement that we would not see such fast takeover of drones in military's is correct but mostly because the public backslash that happened in the US. I have read an instance where Microsoft programmers quit their company after learning that they have been developing AI for the military's. Stating that 'machine should not be given right to decide to kill a human', and it is a main reason why US progress in this field has been slowed down even after several very successful tests being preformed (one of them included unmanned F-16 with an AI that was able to fly it without much issues). -but then again this only applies to the US where public outcry happened. As for the rest, in EU there was no mutual agreement between member states regarding drones or AI research for military's. Russia was testing remote controlled drones with guns in Syria and wanted to invest in mini robot army to protect it's vast borders. India started to invest heavily into the project but they were only starting at 2020-2021. And in the end China was one that was not investing heavily in this field but being close to the US or even ahead in some areas as the same public outcry in the US did not happen in China. And giving it is 2023 in my opinion only China and the US are still heavily investing in this area, everyone else are too busy with other things, I am only not sure about India but we shall see in a year or two if they have some results to show. -the video presented well how things are now but like hinted - this is only the beginning. What is planned next is AI and drones replacing human element entirely in vehicles of any kind. China is planning to remove human crews from tanks and submarines and replace them with either swarm like AI or remote control humans. The US is testing this as well but on warships at sea and fighter planes, their plan right now is like shown in video - one F-35 that is being piloted by human pilot followed by four F-16 piloted by AI that is controlled by pilot of F-35 and act like swarm on his command. But do take note that this is not something that will come over night, this is planned for the rest of this century. And it might change depending on the situation in the world. -Overall my personal opinion is that drones and AI will be integrated more and more for military use in the coming decades. It is only natural if you have such tool at your disposal you will use it more and more. And I am fairly certain that bigger AI control will be enforced to prevent possible 'scenarios' of military AI either being hacked or going haywire and firing on it's own allies. So while it will take bigger role in the military it will not replace human soldier. After all, after you bomb a city to oblivion and destroy all their equipment you will need to enter the city and occupy it, and machines and drones cannot do that at all and I doubt they ever will.
Honestly I think it will balance out, or even that drones will go back to being obsolete. It’s like that Dr Seuss book. Some guy gets a stick so you get a slingshot etc. The longer drones are on the battlefield the more people will have the capability to counter them. Let’s use the convoy example from your video. Imagine having systems in everyone of those trucks that disrupts those drones sensors and make them fly all haywire.
I believe this has happened to Ukraine and Russia to a limited extent. Bayraktars now need harms and SEAD and gepards and such probally aren't fun for drones. Wouldn't surprise me
I am a huge fan of pilots. My favorite fighters are the F-15 to the F-22, with a lot of love for the F-35. But even I gotta admit, an autonomous 6th generation fighter controlled by a human hybrid AI system backed by a hiveminded fleet of advanced UMV would be the deadliest weapon in the world. Just one unmanned strike force would be unstoppable. Even dog fighting could be done autonomously. And since there is no human pilot, the AI can make the fighter go upwards of however much G Force the material of the plane can handle.
I don’t think I would go so far as to say that it is impossible to imagine warfare without drone technology. But it is highly unlikely. Also “Drone” is a misnomer. A “Drone” is is an unmanned combat vehicle that operates on a preprogrammed basis. UAVs are controlled by a controller and a human pilot is the one who pulls the trigger
As a Ukrainian who closely follows the course of the war, I can say that drones will definitely become an incredibly large part of the armies of the future, and will further increase the gap between developed and not so developed countries. The main thing in using drones is to create a real-time communication system. Ideally, even with the use of AI. So that if an enemy tank appears on the battlefield and is spotted by a drone, the operators of anti-tank weapons would know about it at the same second and destroy it. The main weapon of the 21st century is information, and whoever gets more of it and gets it faster will be the winner.
As a fan of future predictions, I can delietly confirm that War Drones could be the cause of Tanks,Warships and Aircrafts to disappear as a "most-used" machine in war by the not-so near future.
During the Marawi Siege in 2017, the Philippine Armed Forces used DJI drones effectively to see real time situation and troop movement against Muslim rebel group.
imagine you are a Taiwanese soldier and a million DJI drones swarming everywhere with red light and plays "Red Sun in the Sky", even your own DJIs start to play it...
Amazing video as always Armchair Historian. The drones are just like the aircrafts in WW2: they became a dominant asset for the war efforts of a country.
"War never Changes" say the man who fight the war as foot soldier using conventional firearms and Firepower to use Power Armor, War Robots, Laser Gun, Gauss Rifle, Stealth Boy, Handheld MIRV, Mini Fusion Core and witness Liberty Prime in action 😂
As I see it, we could see a Ace Combat 7 scenario if the instructions given to the UAV's are too vague or could be overriden by an administrator UAV that has more access. And now imagine if it had the capability to cast data to other UAV's like the ADF-11F's could.....Oh god, where are we heading to?
@@rookcapcoldblood2618 Yup. Until an undisclosed PMC or some other pilot offers their data gathered through AI 💀 (Which....considering how fast AI is evolving, won't take too long too occur. I mean they're already working on the Wingman drone progrmmes sooo....)
Have you guys seen the video of the Russian soldier hiding in a trench when you can hear a drone buzzing overhead until it flies away and explodes when it finds another trench?
Bayraktar isn't a stealth drone. It's a cheap weapons platform that provides the capability to take out any and all threats on the battlefield. If you know what to look for you can shoot it down easily, so calling it "hard countered" is just not knowing how military technology works. @@mekingtiger9095

I believe that any use of military forces whether manned or not is exactly the same thing... the diplomatic repercussions of using drones should be the exact same as manned aircraft, especially when the orders are still given and made by humans at the other end. In my opinion if a treaty of this type hasn't already been signed or proposed, there should be a treaty stipulating that use of unmanned drones is the same as using aircrafts.
When it'll be autonomous, probably. At the moment, it will most likely lose signal and either make an emergency landing or return to a pre-defined position. It also depends on how sophisticated the drone's firmware is in terms of signal switching and so on.
Retired US Army Soldier here. I had the privilege of being trained on the Raven and Puma Company level drones and got to fly them in Afghanistan during OEF 10-11. To land them, you literally crash them into soft ground and put them back together before the next flight. It's crazy to see basically a toy airplane change warfare forever. I was very impressed to see how Ukraine cobbled together their own drones and systems to arm them with grenades.
I’d like to point out that drone swarms are a nothing burger in any version of the future where laser air defense can can self acquire targets. If C-Ram can shoot down Artillery, The Zappy R2D2s of the future will be able to handle a few dozen glorified RadioShack toys.

People said the same things about submarine warfare, at the beginning of WW2 Germany had free reign of the Atlantic. By the end of the war German Submarines could not leave port with out getting attacked. Technology will counter drones, until they are no longer viable, and the next thing will come along.
I don't know, we're nearly 2 years into the war and Ukrainian drones are still regularly spotting for artillery, destroying ammo depots, spotting for infantry, destroying bunkers, destroying troop transports, destroying tanks, and dropping grenades directly onto soldiers.
"Ukrinfiorm TV" just uploaded a montage about 10 minutes ago of Ukrainian drones reeking all manner of havoc.
The Russians are also, unfortunately, using drones now.
They remain pretty viable and it appears they'll remain so.
Mm. Wide range EMP pulses maybe. Otherwise AI run drones would become like mines.
In my opinion the era after the "drone era" will be an era where every single country will try to reset each others' technologies with EMP's (as the comment right above me stated) and other similar tech. Turkey even sabotaged a French battleship (?) in the 2020 Eastern Mediterreanen Crisis.
so submarines are "no longer viable"...? Or are they a key component of virtually every naval force in the world, from North Korea to the US?
No weapon system can win a war by itself. Of course the U-Boots couldn't defeat the combined navies and air forces of the Allies, they needed the support of the Luftwaffe which they didn't really have. And they kept on being a threat until the very last days of the war.
@@LudvigvanamadeusGood point also, lol...
Yes. Submarines remain quite "viable".
Obviously, Luxembourg is more powerful as they are hiding their tripods

Considering a drone just destroyed a Leopard, the thumbnail is kinda clickbait.
There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of kamikaze drone videos chasing down Russian conscripts compared to ONE video that the Lancet managed to hit the side of the Leopard, I doubt this video is too clickbait. The Armchair Historian isn’t in the best financial state so whatever he does is in his interest.

@@jhdsfalsjhdfjashdkhvjfldld8301 I see that the trolls are very active yet again, both sides use drones very effectively but Ukraine has the clear advantage in numbers, tactics and training for their drones. They can keep an entire settlement (Krynki) under fire control with drones. A video of Lancet setting off the smokescreen of a Leopard 2 isn't nearly as impressive. As for effectiveness I suggest you look at the daily lists produced by Andrew Perpetua. Ukraine uses drones much more and much more effectively than Russia.
@@wol06fi89 I get it, you support ukraine, fine; but what you are saying is wrong. There is even footage of Lancets striking parked ukranian Mig 29's at their airports very far away from the fronts.
You live in a information bubble, only consuming Ukranian propaganda, why don't you widen your horizons a bit and don't verdose on ukropium. Ukraine knows how to use drones, but to claim they have a clear advantage is just wishfull thinking.
I loved the Advance Wars reference at 15:17!
Lancet sends its regards
Curious if there will be a part 2 talking about kamikaze drones like U.S switch blades and russian lancet. I would love to know more history behind those kind of drones
Coyote block 2, LOCUST, Perdix micro-drone swarm, Parrot ANAFI, Blue sUAS, Altius-600, Phoenix Ghost.
What if you took a tank and gave it a little recon drone attached by a wire (So it can't just lose connection and sends data faster.) and somehow connect the drone's camera to the cannon so it can fly over a building and calculate the shot necessary to shoot at a target through the building or other obstacle without the tank actually needing line of sight.
You could do that with a helium balloon and a FPV camera.
real life 3rd person mode
A wire attachment would be a great way to tell the enemy exactly where your tank is.
Wall hack irl
Eh, wouldn't really give much of an advantage.
Shooting trough a building to hit an armoured target just will have the building render your round useless, besides tank combat isn't like on WoT, it takes place on distances where such an advantage would be pointless.
Maybe it could be useful for mortar teams in urban environments to hit out of sight targets yeah, but the wire is pointless.
The way Drones are being used shows that ballistic anti air platforms like the German Gepard aren't obsolete as people said they were.
Slow flying targets that are way cheaper than most missile defences. Having anti aircraft guns would be better taking out swarms too.
With the us and israel showcasing working laser based AA systems they will soon become obsolete again. Platforms like the gepard are a temp band aid style fix untill proper solutions become operational. they are not going to stay here long term
Sometime soon, someone's going to watch Star Wars Episode 1 and say "Oh, that's a great idea!"
The way commercial none military fpv drone already makes a lot of genuine long time military tactic/equipments, and vehicles obsolete show how powerful the thing could even be if there is a true military version of it. For, example; longer signal/flight, harder to detect, faster, packs more deadlier explosive, mounted mini machine gun/rocket launches, all that only cost 2x as much as the commercial one
Imagine warfare being more like a video game now, except the destruction is for real.
We don’t have to imagine, the amount of kamikaze drone footage during the war in Ukraine already made it look like a video game.
With the ever-increasing chances of global conflict in the coming years, I am more worried about drones within the battlespace than anything else. The idea that 3-5 $50 drones-bought on Amazon-can eliminate a whole infantry platoon, is terrifying. While they won’t be the focal point of warfare, they will assuredly alter it, forever.
Fortunately, we're probably not at that point. Drones like that lack capability and the most prominent use of drones continues to be in recon at that level. Not to mention, that the EW defenses on there are still plenty able to keep that from happening as well.
In any case, it's best to look at drones as the new machine gun. The battle space is forever changed and there's now nowhere to hide. Information's place in warfare is now magnified as at this point, if you can see it, you can probably kill it.
We're not at that point yet, but how many years until sending soldiers out into the front lines becomes suicidal? I think drones will change warfare in a very big way soon. If it becomes very easy to take out any units or vehicles you want what happens after that? I don't know much about it but it's interesting.
Hey, why weren't the shahids mentioned? Or Russian lancets, which are a little homing in on the target? If I'm not mistaken, it was from the lancets that the Leopard was shot down. Examples of drones from other countries ?
Shaheds are basically low cost low performance cruise missiles and thus not really a drone, Lancet is a loitering munition since they usually only attack when a different reconnaissance drone has spotted the target.
Right now drones are dominating but with time they’ll stop being meta due to new techs to counter drones, weapons don’t stay meta forever.
@@dannyzero692both shahed and lancet have proven that they are the most effective kamikaze dronesnin their category bruh

Although he has great material and visuals I also noticed a lack of objectivity when it comes to newer videos. I do watch all of the channel's videos but I tens to skip the modern day topics due to western bias. This is why I would advise all of the history content creators to skip the modern day wars and topics until they become the history themselves. Only then you will be able to study those events without bias.
@@crashoveryu how do you know things without them being on the news or on youtube? How do you know he wasnt correct? "Western Bias" just means anything you dislike.
I am actually in college studying drones currently and it is interesting seeing what the drone professionals view is possible with current drone technology, versus what the rest of the world views is possible with drone technology. The main advantage I think there will be with drones is the fact that they are very hard to detect without active radar, and active radar is very easy to destroy in a military setting, with manned helicopters and fighter jets a person on the ground can usually detect them if the are flying at a relatively low level, but a drone flying even at the really low level of 400ft is vey hard to spot, let alone hear, especially when you take into account the extreme noise pollution of an active war zone.
I’ll start sweating bullets if we start sending robotic endoskeletons on the battlefield
don't worry it could be like the clone wars, we just need to develope weapons speciflly for neutralizing computer chips and its programing will fail.

Fun fact: Turkey sends UAV's into Greek air zone on a regular basis, usually making them raise a fighter jet. It's both annoying to mess with this and is a mess for maintenance in my view.
Surely Lancet and Orlan had an impact as well.

“People perceive that AI is needed for quick decision making, especially in the threat of nuclear weapons as a response to them.”
*Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker intensifies*
I think the best solution to stop jamming cheap drones is basically to make the drone follow the signal and kamikaze the emitter and if multiple drones are being jammed, then the drones would be in a sense be swarm the emitter, basically making the drones only weakness would be literally destroy it's electronics by either by EMP or good old storm of lead.
Call of Duty Black Ops 2 (2012) predicted quadcopter drones, swarm tactics, and autonomous weapons being the future of warfare.
Mfw its nearly 2025
Just my thought as well. 😮
There will probably be a Geneva Convention on the use of military drones soon
So basically Skynet is becoming a reality
They should consider rebooting the Terminator franchise for one last go at it, with one concept being that a Genisys-like OS computer evolves into a Skynet-like AI supercomputer, which then evolves into a Legion-like global exascale AI ultra system.
Drones will not be disgeraded as a threat by militaries which are already seeking ways to counter them, the russian have used their EW very effectively and they have also equiped some tank units with a new signal jamming device.
This is why despite their previous blunders and heavy losses, its better not to underestimate the Russian they are still considerably tenacious and formidable.

Fingers crossed we get something closer to Girls' Frontline where autonomous units suppliment infantry/armor on the ground instead of just skies full of AI planes looking to blow up a thing or two.
Funny thing is that the T-Dolls in Girls Frontline are weaponized civilian dolls that were originally used for hospitality services and also used for sex. So technically they are weaponized sex dolls.
Honestly been seeing more Russian drone videos than Ukrainian drones lately
Then you just follow th wrong people, Ukraine still releases a shitton of footage
@wol06fi89 Oh I'm sure they do, I don't actually follow any specific war channels, I just see the videos posted on Twitter, or Instagram (I don't have Tik Tok or Telegram)
There are charts indicating footage of Russian drones hitting their target's and it keeps doubling each month so it would make sense
"Gets sponsored by War Thunder for a video about drones"
"Doesn't even bring up that there are drones in the game"
This is good and well researched video. I have wrote Master Work in AI for military use in 2021 and pretty much everything that was said here corelates with my research from back then. I would like to add few more things, more related to AI than drones but seeing how these two are very close together I wanted to share few more details.
-the statement that we would not see such fast takeover of drones in military's is correct but mostly because the public backslash that happened in the US. I have read an instance where Microsoft programmers quit their company after learning that they have been developing AI for the military's. Stating that 'machine should not be given right to decide to kill a human', and it is a main reason why US progress in this field has been slowed down even after several very successful tests being preformed (one of them included unmanned F-16 with an AI that was able to fly it without much issues).
-but then again this only applies to the US where public outcry happened. As for the rest, in EU there was no mutual agreement between member states regarding drones or AI research for military's. Russia was testing remote controlled drones with guns in Syria and wanted to invest in mini robot army to protect it's vast borders. India started to invest heavily into the project but they were only starting at 2020-2021. And in the end China was one that was not investing heavily in this field but being close to the US or even ahead in some areas as the same public outcry in the US did not happen in China. And giving it is 2023 in my opinion only China and the US are still heavily investing in this area, everyone else are too busy with other things, I am only not sure about India but we shall see in a year or two if they have some results to show.
-the video presented well how things are now but like hinted - this is only the beginning. What is planned next is AI and drones replacing human element entirely in vehicles of any kind. China is planning to remove human crews from tanks and submarines and replace them with either swarm like AI or remote control humans. The US is testing this as well but on warships at sea and fighter planes, their plan right now is like shown in video - one F-35 that is being piloted by human pilot followed by four F-16 piloted by AI that is controlled by pilot of F-35 and act like swarm on his command. But do take note that this is not something that will come over night, this is planned for the rest of this century. And it might change depending on the situation in the world.
-Overall my personal opinion is that drones and AI will be integrated more and more for military use in the coming decades. It is only natural if you have such tool at your disposal you will use it more and more. And I am fairly certain that bigger AI control will be enforced to prevent possible 'scenarios' of military AI either being hacked or going haywire and firing on it's own allies. So while it will take bigger role in the military it will not replace human soldier. After all, after you bomb a city to oblivion and destroy all their equipment you will need to enter the city and occupy it, and machines and drones cannot do that at all and I doubt they ever will.
Weaponised robots and AI are a perfect combo
Honestly I think it will balance out, or even that drones will go back to being obsolete. It’s like that Dr Seuss book. Some guy gets a stick so you get a slingshot etc. The longer drones are on the battlefield the more people will have the capability to counter them. Let’s use the convoy example from your video. Imagine having systems in everyone of those trucks that disrupts those drones sensors and make them fly all haywire.
I believe this has happened to Ukraine and Russia to a limited extent.
Bayraktars now need harms and SEAD and gepards and such probally aren't fun for drones.
Wouldn't surprise me
Fully Autonomous Drones make Ace Combat 7 Fans shiver in their g-suits
Damn Obama must love this
I am a huge fan of pilots. My favorite fighters are the F-15 to the F-22, with a lot of love for the F-35. But even I gotta admit, an autonomous 6th generation fighter controlled by a human hybrid AI system backed by a hiveminded fleet of advanced UMV would be the deadliest weapon in the world. Just one unmanned strike force would be unstoppable. Even dog fighting could be done autonomously. And since there is no human pilot, the AI can make the fighter go upwards of however much G Force the material of the plane can handle.
Never knew unmanned aircraft were used so early
I don’t think I would go so far as to say that it is impossible to imagine warfare without drone technology. But it is highly unlikely.
Also “Drone” is a misnomer. A “Drone” is is an unmanned combat vehicle that operates on a preprogrammed basis.
UAVs are controlled by a controller and a human pilot is the one who pulls the trigger

No one wants to realize how fundamental these small drones will be in future conflicts .
This is only the beginning
As a Ukrainian who closely follows the course of the war, I can say that drones will definitely become an incredibly large part of the armies of the future, and will further increase the gap between developed and not so developed countries. The main thing in using drones is to create a real-time communication system. Ideally, even with the use of AI.
So that if an enemy tank appears on the battlefield and is spotted by a drone, the operators of anti-tank weapons would know about it at the same second and destroy it.
The main weapon of the 21st century is information, and whoever gets more of it and gets it faster will be the winner.
The birth of a new age for all to be seen
As a fan of future predictions, I can delietly confirm that War Drones could be the cause of Tanks,Warships and Aircrafts to disappear as a "most-used" machine in war by the not-so near future.

The Bayraktar is Western. And the Ukrainians also have Switch Blade, Warmate, and some Czech made UAV that I’m blanking on the name of now.
Turkish Bayraktars have been countered 1uite hard by Russian forces since the beginning of the war, though.
Bayraktar isn't a stealth drone. It's a cheap weapons platform that provides the capability to take out any and all threats on the battlefield. If you know what to look for you can shoot it down easily, so calling it "hard countered" is just not knowing how military technology works. @@mekingtiger9095

I believe that any use of military forces whether manned or not is exactly the same thing... the diplomatic repercussions of using drones should be the exact same as manned aircraft, especially when the orders are still given and made by humans at the other end. In my opinion if a treaty of this type hasn't already been signed or proposed, there should be a treaty stipulating that use of unmanned drones is the same as using aircrafts.
So I’m assuming that it shouldn’t be too hard to get a drone to look onto the source of radio interference?
When it'll be autonomous, probably. At the moment, it will most likely lose signal and either make an emergency landing or return to a pre-defined position. It also depends on how sophisticated the drone's firmware is in terms of signal switching and so on.
Retired US Army Soldier here. I had the privilege of being trained on the Raven and Puma Company level drones and got to fly them in Afghanistan during OEF 10-11. To land them, you literally crash them into soft ground and put them back together before the next flight. It's crazy to see basically a toy airplane change warfare forever. I was very impressed to see how Ukraine cobbled together their own drones and systems to arm them with grenades.
