yeah but what happens when it can't clear a Jam

Eventually I’d imagine they’ll develop a weapons system specifically for this platform.

Quan trọng là vũ khí trên robot vẫn giết được binh lính Nga phát xít.

@@williemcdowell6319 engineering a solution to that would be rather simple. Especially if the gun it’s carrying is designed specifically for its use. Why have a human trigger assembly if a human will never shoot it?

​@@williemcdowell6319we'll just send a drone to pick it up and then assess the situation and plan accordingly

It seems like the simple threat of actually having some these armed with guns, grenade launchers is enough to warrant one military from advancing upon another or at least keep a civilian populace from upraising against a dictator if they know they will face remotely controlled death machines.

Speaking as someone who served as a radio operator. It would be a godsend to let drones do the tedious and dangerous work of keeping relay stations operational. You are basically transporting a lot of equipment just to make yourself into a easily found and tactically important target.

there is only so many ways to slaughter people....stick to playing stupid war games..

The spiritual successor of the british "Universal Carrier", in the best possible way. It even looks cuter.

The Taliban used this sort of tech for transport but it had four legs, was vegetarian and heehaws when pissed off. 😆

We used DoKings, ATVs, and John Deere Gators in exactly this way in Afghanistan back in 2010 (we mounted M240B to the Gators and DoKings). The DoKing and Gators could pull a trailer we made from parts. We used them to carry gear, ammo, water, up to 2 stretchers each, etc. This machine is just a large Talon robot with a CROW turret attached. Technology we had in Iraq and Afghanistan many years ago. We also had a few "bomb bots", Traxxas T-Maxx trucks with platforms for mounting explosives to. We didn't really find any practical uses for them over there though.

@@SoloRenegade unfortunately tracked drones will not replace human driven vehicles.

@@am4793 I agree. supplement them perhaps, in certain capacities.

Hell yeah they are. I’m blown away.

They have to, because Russia is nearby. lol

I'm not surprised that there are so many sophisticated lawn mowers nowadays. My neighbor just bought a drone that can lift 85kg. to insecticides the fields. You can fly with that thing.

@@NeverFamous.T-T Future soldier, jumpjet like master chief. lol

Pretend you are a tree

Or imagine being a pow or civilian being hunted by these machines. Love how ppl assume these things would only be deployed against other militaries or machines.

Worse, they will be dressed to appear like bushes, covered in foliage and hunt in packs. In WWII the hedgerows hid and separated you from the enemy, but in WWIII the hedgerow is the enemy.

@@BeefyGordita I have heard the smut joke Invasion of the Japanese Bush but not Killer Bush

Or one with a gun off of A10 warthog

shit, I could use one to carry around my stock pile of 10mm sockets.

Same as drones i presume

@@mastermariner490 Not quite as in theory they have no weight restrictions. Hence the new US Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicles. As a former SNCO soldier I can tell you that these things in all sizes and applications, will be a game changer. They will give ground troops and their commanders options that have only been dreamt of in the past. There simply is insufficient space for me to list and explain all the potential uses I can envisage Better minds than mine will have a field day developing tactics to best utilise these thing in the field. When scaled up to serve as a MBT replacement they will be of strategic importance. The Optionally Manned Tank is underdevelopment now.

@@gusgone4527 imagine this bit of kit with “swarm technology ai”. As you stated these could take on a mbt role but the sight of a tank will always make the combatants think twice, same as a show of force by jets!

@@12G_Pyro Imagine one of the optionally maned MBT's coming towards your foxhole. Not knowing if the monstrous metal beast has men inside or a heartless, soulless artificial intelligence. Then two red eyes illuminate on it's turret and a visible red laser scans your trench. It stops on your chest. A loud robotic voice speaks in your own language, telling you to lay down your weapons or die screaming. Just then, numerous other visible red dots appear on the chests and helmets of your comrades. Coming from every direction including straight up! It reminds me of 1991 when dozens of Iraqi soldiers, surrendered to an Apache helicopter.

It was armed with a Javelin in the video. But yeah, Mk.19 is better that a single use rocket launcher

Had any jams on your M2 or Mk40? I know I did. Who's going to clear the chamber of a simple stove pipe? Drive over to the nearest unit and effectively show exactly where the troops are trying to stay out of sight? Go back to the TOC?

@@PersonalityMalfunction We have the technology to create drones - I think engineers can figure something out for clearing a chamber.

@@anderlillemaa4392 That has been the expectation since the Maxim gun. Consider for a moment the tens of thousands of wonder weapons during the ages who have turned out to be completely useless in actual use in the field. Unfortunately, careers and funding are built on the musings of The Good Idea Fairy. Nice video though. I wonder how many times they had to yell cut to clear a malfunction during the recording.

Crime pays

@@theduplicator3270 So does war, sadly.

nice propaganda piece there mate. There is always an lack of Programmers and machine technicians in Estonia, if you know anything about the country. It's the biggest industry there. Computer and bank machine fraud is very rare to come by in Estonia. And Estonia has one of the lowest Crime rates in the world (the lowest in 2019) according to the European Crime Index. If you are referring to those money laundering scandals with Swedish and Danish banks, then be aware that information can be bent. In those terms it wasn't the Estonians doing the laundering but the Estonians finding out about it. And that turned into an international scandal, that got bent by the Swedish and Danish states to turn blame away from them onto smaller countries.

You could. They have models for civilian use

@@karriim00 with the grenade launcher?

Sorry only come in two versions - fuc..ing lethal or genocidal green.

I will take one if it has a snow plough attachment

Until it's hacked by skynet then goes on a killing spree.

@Knight-Sgt. Reyes Have you ever stepped foot outside of a city? The kind of terrain he is talking about will absolutely be an issue for this thing. You're also overlooking basic physics here. A tank weighs orders of magnitudes more and has far more power, allowing it to plow over obstructions. Your basic soldier can climb or weave around the obstructions. These things cant plow over obstructions, and won't be able to weave around them. If I cant get my bulldozer into an area without serious work, if at all, you sure as hell aren't getting this thing there.

@@lagtastic7511 I was surprised when they said it weighed 1 ton.

Heavily wooded. Look at a satellite picture of Estonia. Estonia is a big forest. This thing is designed for forests. It is not that large.

The amazing go anywhere slaughter machine.....yeah real practical....!

I mean I think they’re for completely different purposes lol. Tracked vehicles are not as “mobile” as you think. 4 legged robots could bring supplies to the most remote/difficult areas.

@@Tounguepunchfartbox Question is: why would soldiers go where that tracked vehicle can't? Also, legged units would sink in soft conditions when carried up to a ton of load.

The 4 legged mule design is still far from reaching its' potential. But I'd say it has more potential in the long run. The tracked design is severely limited from ever being able to climb rocky and steep terrain. It will be unable to travel in thick forest. It's only going to be usable when the terrain is relatively flat with no steep surfaces. A legged design will be able to overcome that limitation. It just requires further advances in battery/power technology, as well as more honing in the programming. Even currently it's able to walk through rougher terrain than tracked drones. It's already able to get back up if it falls. It's able to withstand and maintain balance through shocks and impacts. But it's still not ready for use on the battlefield.

@@Tounguepunchfartbox You do know the army dumped those stupid things cause they would break down and couldn't go hardly any where. They replaced them with real mules....

bahaha bro that’s dope respect to the young homie

That's the first thing I thought. A Johnny turret is a must

LOL Ukraine lost more ground yesterday and lost allot of guys in an important counter-attack near Kherson that was easily crushed

@@Ghastly_Grinner What is your point? the battle ebbs and flows when the Russians decide to reinforce another area, yet the Ukrainians still hold strong. Ukraine will only be conquered if you kill a few hundred thousand of their soldiers. I side with Ukraine against an invader, the exact same way I would side with Russia if someone invaded them. All the best.

@@justinwaters8679 Russia has already destroyed Ukraine millions have fled to the EU their economy is destroyed their soldiers are defecting and accepting Russian citizenship they have started the trials for the azov nazis

@@Ghastly_Grinner yes, Ukraine of the future will be unrecognizable from the past. All that UXO, unexploded bombs and mines, they will keep killing Ukrainians for the next 100 years. Keep celebrating the death of a Nation and it's people, I'm sure karma or God or whatever you believe in will like that. The "Azov nazi's" are the greatest proven fighting force in the world right now. Oh, gee, they use the wolfsangel (a thousands years old symbol, from the ancient Runic Alphabet.) You should look up the Runic alphabet, and you will see that the Mustached Madman Hitler used all of the Sigils in the alphabet for his Evil Wehrmacht and SS divisions as their insignia, you say "dere nahtsees" with the only proof being a few ancient symbols. You want Nazi's? look up the "Russian Spring" and you will find your Russian nazis as they heil hitler and march down the street, in Russia. No, they are simply Ukrainian nationalists trying to keep their country free of Russian influence. Nationalism is a human belief, as natural as patriotism and love of homeland, and it exists in EVERY nation on earth. If you studied proxy- wars, you would know that it always ends up with Communist Nationalists like in LDPR vs Right wing Nationalism that is the philosophy of the Azov Battalion. Proxy wars always end up far right vs. far left, because it takes extreme beliefs to die in a war for any cause. I pray for an end to the Violence, all the best.

would it not just be destroyed by enemy fire if it tried to give fire support? As far as I understand its not armored and has a much higher frame than a soilder laying on the ground. Its nice for carrying your stuff around but other than than I dont know how usefull it would be for the infantry.

@@hex5874 Exactly. Unless this thing is cheap as bullets these "sacrifice plays" will deplete the stock at the start of conflict. Then we'll ask "were they ever even there?"

That's really what this thing is. A tracked cart made more efficient (but also more vulnerable) by replacing the driver's seat with a remote control.

Sounds like you need some reality intelligence mate.

It would have to take cover in a fire fight situation. It's not indestructible. If it's out in the open firing a machine gun, it's a sitting duck. If it's so useful, is Ukraine getting some?

@@williamromine5715 Yes, its not indestructible but as it would be on patrol with units the platform can take damage instead of the troops while they react. Not saying it will stay out in the open like a terminator. Not sure why you think that. Ukraine? I doubt they are in mass production and am not even sure if they are in service on a mass scale. You think companies just build hundreds and keep them in storage?

@@rickjames18 I must have heard him wrong. I thought he said they were being used by some of the NATO countries. As to not being indestructible, they are too big to go to ground. They would be difficult to hide by trees, rocks etc. Someone would have to be operating its defense fire, and he is going to find cover and set up a firing line before before he starts figuring were and how he starts directing return fire from the robot. During that time, somebody with a RPG or similar weapon is going to take out or at least disable the robot. The machine would be useful in carrying gear for the infantry and evacuate wounded, setting up peremiter defense and such. But unless its allowed to operate autonomously, I think it's a little early to think it's the battle changer the manufacturer claims. Ukraine would be the perfect place to see how useful it is in real life operations.

@@williamromine5715 I don't think an RPG would be needed to kill this robot, that would be overkill. It doesn't seem to have any armor to speak of. A burst of machine gun fire would disable it pretty easily. Even rifle fire could probably do the job, though it might take multiple hits.

@@dark7element I agree. I think it has some uses such as a "mule" for carrying gear &such for the troops, or an ambulance, or even as perimeter defense, but it's not the "game changer" stated by the narrator. But, he is prone to overating things in his videos.

How would you feel if they were all shooting at you ?

without humans, war is pointless. and mechanical things break, still can't make decisions, and get battle damaged and need repair. and when the equipment breaks, teh fight continues, and suddenly you're back to being infantry again.

yeah wait till it gets close and personal with you and see how much you sh..t your dacs...these aren't game toys.

I played the hell out of that game. That one and the fantasy version

My guess is you're still a kid who's still playing games, just maybe 20 years older now right? Like I said, still a kid.

i remember seeing it first on tv

Ok buddy

Chirp spread spectrum etc, hard to jam. Mini EMPs might be handy. But armour piercing 50cal from a Barrett might get useful.

No reason it can't use Link 16. They could probably just pull it from NASAMS.

Hence why they wouldn’t just use bog standard tx. Pulse modulation, key shift frequency, list goes on. However the question is are they “out of the loop” I’m sure they would even have a unit setup with ecm just to combat any chance of EW.

@@VisibilityFoggy link 16 speeds are not up to par. At least according to what I have read. In 2007, tests by Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and L-3 Communications enabled the Active Electronically Scanned Array system of a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor to act like a WiFi access point, able to transmit data at 548 megabits per second and receive at gigabit speed; this is far faster than the Link 16 system, which transfers data at just over 1 Mbit/s.

depends upon the hill. How steep? how rocky? where are you going to charge it on day 2 or 3 of the battle?

@@SoloRenegade he said Diesel generator, so i would imagine as long as you have Diesel you're fine.

@@Christian23242 how are you getting that diesel generator up the hill? FYI, non mechanized infantry move solely on foot and have no vehicles. Mechanized infantry have gun trucks or AFV/IFV and don't need this thing. And again, on steep terrain, like other vehicles it's size, this won't be any help. I was in a mechanized unit in combat for year and you'd be surprised where vehicles can't go. I've gone up hills on foot that were a challenge, even on foot.

@@SoloRenegade he said it had an inbuilt Diesel generator 3:42

@@Christian23242 who is carrying the fuel? it's gonna have to be refueled. And still doesn't address the steep and rough terrain issue.

I feel like we've already reached that point, some of the current conflicts have been ongoing for decades. I think the Russo-Ukraine war should answer this once and for all.

If there is going to be war, then why not make it so fewer people die?

doesn't work as well as one might think. possible, with good training, communication, and coordination. but this tech has existed and even been used in combat already for decades. It has never yet been the game changer many tried to claim it would be. As things continue to evolve and capabilities and realities change that may well change too. Just not right now. There is the idealized idea of how this could work, and then there is reality. Spent many years in combat as they gave us all sorts of high tech toys and weapons to try and most are now relegated to history. Just hard to beat the basics of warfare.

imagine you mount them space efficiently, you could propably pack 15 stingers into that thing verticaly

Allready exist and in service in Norway ukposts.info/have/v-deo/mad9iY-rZJ2Jt30.html

We have already tested jawelin on themis ;)

@@rainerl6138 so bad ass

so what part of your death do you like?

So are stupid people who think these are amazing.

I mean it's not armored, so it will be relatively easy to disable with normal firearms. Or at least blind it if you hit the weapon module's sensors. But you may have argued for suppression, which is true. The operator of this thing won't get the natural instinct to take cover when shot at, and will be able to shoot back regardless of being shot at, as long as the vehicle is not disabled.

@@samisuhonen9815 There is an armored version to THeMIS, the version France tested. Could hold up to heavy gun fire, and only real way to take it out was with rockets.

Probably order the platform back to the cover where the operator is, clear the weapon for operation and then send it back out again. This doesnt make crew operated platforms obsolete, it merely supplements the infantry situation.

@@Pilvenuga I don't know how much this system would cost in terms of price, maintenance, logistics, manpower etc. I think I would prefer those resources allocated to another heavy weapons squad or practically anything else. This is nothing more than bling for the procurement officer to get wined and dined over.

so it could completely kill you, promising indeed.
