It's simply, propaganda. The issue with its audience is they are too young to realise they are being sold the next gen of weapons and it's being promoted in a positive light. If you don't understand why that is wrong then do a quick moral check in yourself.
Maybe, but defense tech is cool.
Tru dat
"Defense" is mostly doublespeak since this tech will be used to attack and murder brown people in the other side of the world
The vortex cannon was shot directly at the youtubers in this video and they were fine. The attack drone is designed to take out other drones. What here is going to be used to kill humans exactly? Did you watch the video?
The drone hovers and goes down instead of up. A 200 mile an hour brick that if used right could go for multiple targets before failure.
I mean, yeah, you can modify most military tech to target humans.
There is no modify, only a down button, I suppose lazers are pretty effective but they are banned right? And EMP? I think I can survive that but I'm sure someone will be along to tell me I won't.
I've pointed out that they are weapons and being presented in a friendly way, that's all, why argue when you asked the question?
I wasn't refering to the video. "Defense" tech is obviously a much larget topic than the video itself.
"this tech", to me, implied a connection to the subject at hand.
I meant "defense tech" as "this tech". Might not be accurate grammatically, I'm not a native English speaker
It's ambiguous, you're good ๐
You do realize that it's good to give information about weapons to people who'll be targeted by them the most?
Education in new reality of war is as important as any other.
And a sword is definitely a positive thing when many other people already have swords and you are choosing whether to have one.
What use is the information in this case?
To me it can be summed up as: Lazers can be defeated (more like we are not willing to leave our best lazer tech lying around)
Signal blocking can be defeated
So we've resorted to flying bricks to defeat YOUR drones, don't even think of using them.
Oh and just remember they are presenting them in a "drone travels up" way....
But they could do the exact opposite to an "object" on the ground. (A highly deadly "penny off the empire state")
They'll think how to use their drones to still kill enemy's manpower.
Are you thinking the average person is going to be buying a jet drone cannon?
Average person isn't going to do anything comprehensively.
