Looks like we're gonna see another +$2 trillion dollar go down the drain again. A new war would probably involve Iran in some way. Interesting that there are no kamikaze drone startups in the US because that's probably the next unicorn opportunity.
I'm muslim so I probably can't work on this startup idea in my garage. But I'm surprised other American startups aren't trying.
That being said, I'd rather we focus on peaceful endeavors that improve our quality of life, instead of on destroying things. That's a billionaire managerial class game, IMO. Make people dependent on the system so pleasing the managerial class becomes more important to survival. If history isba guide, this system will only last as long as the imperial order remains intact. There are many long term domestic & geopolitical pressures on the imperium & I would not be surprised if it collapses within my lifetime.
Where are these videos?
I work in the opposite field of weapons but from the moment I saw zipline I thought their quick launching and distance was interesting. Maybe this is already how drones are launched in places like Ukraine, I don't know. I do understand that the road runner is probably much faster and able to intercept jets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEbRVNxL44c
I'm not really looking forward to drone warfare, tbh.
