I can't really think of any other way of describing this video.

 

Its like a sales video for Bond Villains or something :D .... And the concept is actually pretty f-ing scary!

 

DCS Feature request???

I think the video makes a few assumptions. "Fresh" trucks will only go unnoticed for so long.

 

From the preview image I thought it would be a lot smaller, and I wonder if that would be more effective.

As a work of fiction it's great. In reality, there have been a good many doomsday weapons that simply don't work as advertised. When the drone was first invented, the first item on the agenda would be how do we counter these? I'm sure they'd be a hell of a nuisance, but as for catching an entire nations air force on the ground? Nice fantasy!

Yeah, that's what I thought, too.

 

Some other things, that gun on the big drones looks a bit like a 30mm cannon, which means that in this fantasy they have pretty fantastical one-hit one-kill ammunition.

 

Then, there is the thing that none of the F-16 started? Unlikely.

 

The drone starts up the radar and goes unnoticed? Similarly unlikely.

 

Also, you wouldn't pack your planes or vehicles that tight and parking B-2's in the open, before you have them loaded and started? Come on.

 

The most realistic one would be the last drone, as it is small enough to be deployed quickly and might actually be used as an assassination tool. The others? Too large and would be deteced and shot down by air defense before they'd inflict much damage, if the trucks themselves wouldn't be apprehended beforehand for driving into areas where they should not drive to.

Someone must have big hatred against the US and done this video... and not much experience, F-22 on a carrier :cry:

 

If that would work so easily, you could do such big damage with every combat helicopter, too. But in reality these aircrafts are very vulnerable - especially with 4 rotors and in this size.

 

Maybe there would be a surprise effect, but someone would find a MANPAD and shoot this thing down from the sky, job done.

 

Attacking a carrier with rockets without any issues?... never heard of Phalanx system and some other ships which always escort a carrier?

 

As said .. someone with big hatred but not really an idea how things work.

Man its like its a joke video or something....

 

 

But please tell us more about how a quadcopter the size of 4 semi trucks is unrealistic.

Well, the last one featured wasn't that stupid. It's reasonably small, packs enough firepower (but unlike the others, still in realistic amount), and utilizes stealthy optical sensors instead of radar.

 

When used to deliver a surprise strike on high-value target without anti-air defenses (as showed in the video), it could probably work. Although I still wonder if there's no easier way of achieving the same result, and I don't see how is it better than current UAVs.

 

About those truck-sized ones... Come on! While it's convenient that they come with civilian carriers (those Geneva Convention guys will surely love that... :mad:), if your enemy is that stupid to allow you to assemble and launch this monster in range of his airbase, without his air defenses shooting it down, then he probably deserved his fate.

 

I mean, this thing is HUGE! Isn't one of UAV's main advantages its mobility and stealthiness? I think this one sort of defeats the purpose. If it's even technically possible to build such thing, that is.

 

So luckily, this is either just an entertainment video, or its creator is slightly overtly optimistic. Unfortunately, some bastards will always find their ways to hurt others... Without using truck-sized quad-copters. :(

Semi-truck size quad copters don't kill people, People kill people. When you misspell a word, do you blame the pen?

 

A pen is built to write something. A semi-truck size quad copter is built only to ... kill someone.

 

And if this video should have been entertainment, the author wouldn't have used western aircrafts as targets, but fictional units.

I wouldn't just to see all the collective butt clench, and to see people thinking its real.

It's not the first time that a man thinks of mega arms. So much has been made and used for killing and these projects are always looked scary, some seemed unattainable in his time began but became realized ideas.

 

As much as looked impossible, meaningless... this concept is easily achievable. How helpful? Someone has even the slightest damage inflicted to the opponent is successful mission.

 

How crazy humanity is, I would not be surprised if something like this occurs in reality.

 

In any case scarred...

I do if the pen was designed from the outset to misspell wrods.

 

This keyboards going down as well. :D

Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

Most movies of that kind are American and most countries being the 'bad' guys there usually were customers of the Soviet Union/Russia, so it figures that MiG's would be the bad guys.

 

In WWII movies the bad guys always fly Messerschmitts or Zeros.
