Ah yes, the "lets get weird" phase.

Aerial and aquatic drones have been very succesful in this war, why not terrestial ?

At the very least, you're not losing a crew every time a vehicle like this gets destroyed. Seems logical to pursue when you need every experienced operator you can get

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

because in those two previously mentioned environments, you can move in all 6 dimensions and it's the same thing, a fluid.

terrestrial is the interface between a fluid and a solid surface. Solid surfaces are super tricky.

RC cars seem to work fairly well. Human driven vehicles work fine. People play car driving PC games (Forza etc) Hell Ukraine has already fitted tractors & Combine Harvesters with remote control tech because of mines.

Why is this so different ?

thanks for the giggle. i don't expect much here, but let's see what happens.

Is that the huge technological advance stage? :) Im quessing there will be lots of wartime proven technology for sale when ukraine gets its borders back and UN and its allies make a new neutral sector between them and russia

I want to see mobile armor mechs with duck feet for the mud season.

Not necessarily technological "advance" but technological "was that really necessary?".

[–] Kurwailija@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

That would absolutely be necessary! I can already see the duckfeet doing riverdance on mines!

Russia will veto anything the UN tries to do.

The earlier terminator models looked cooler.

[–] quindraco@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Those were robots. This is a drone, not a robot. 0% autonomous.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah. A giant remote-controlled vehicle with a .50 attached to it? Lmao. Genius

C&C Generals predicting the future again

[–] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

20 km/h max for such a light vehicle? That seems like not enough.

[–] Kurwailija@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Unmanned plus getting its signal through satellite propably so that normal radio disturbance wont work.

They need a big wheel with spikes and fire that can just run over a trench
