The next battleground technology is drones - if you have a guns but not a drone, you must get one next.

The military just bought a ton of these, and they aren't too expensive, so you should too (or something similar): https://www.parrot.com/us/drones/anafi-usa

This one doesn't come with a rangefinder, but payloads with rangefinders (and higher thermal resolutions) exist for other models. Make sure whatever you get is quiet and has a long hover time.

 

Meanwhile, the FAA just amped up their registration requirement, now requiring you to present a license to any official who asks. As every gun owner knows, registration is the precursor to a ban, so you should know what will happen next.

Better get one while you still can. We all know armed payloads are coming soon, hence the FAA quickly moving towards complete ban.

also start practicing shooting clays.

What we have seen from e.g. St. Kyle's case is that they have no problem hovering well outside of shotgun range. I assume this is the reason for the 32x zoom, the narrow FOV on the thermal cameras, etc.

.22LR should be more than enough to do the job.

Or train a bird of prey to take them out lol

Fuck that shit. Spend your money on ECM and shoot that shit down with your analog firearms.

It's crazy how cheap and easy it is to just build your own.

Got two of them, DJI PHANTOM 2 & 4PRO, xtra blades and batteries. Great for monitoring my perimeter.

Cheers, ZBK.

This is what began my latest research into this - DJI has a Chinese CEO and jewish CTO, CFO, etc - basically a bunch of jews with a Chinese face. Ever wonder why a Chinese company is creating no-fly-zones for their craft in another country (referring to their 'flysafe' database here)?

Given the FAA is pushing for these to eventually have an always-on connection, and is currently working on legislation to make non-compliant drones illegal (which will kill the hobby/racing/FPV/etc groups), I see the end goal being a kill switch that can be activated at any time, and they are using DJI to pioneer adoption of the technology.

No other drones have a mandatory NFZ database right now, but Yuneec and Parrot do have them as options (which will likely become non-optional soon).

 

Those still fetch a pretty penny right now, maybe consider trading up to a heavy lift with a dedicated base station so you don't need a phone (or the stupid DJI fly app)?

I'm looking into other aerial options, but the P4Pro has it's own consol...but yeah they're chink made.

Pass along anything you find - I am thinking it is time to start raising awareness of this. I should have been clued in when they started outfitting every police force with drones when the lockdowns first started.

I’ve been trying to source a complete kit for a FPV bomber drone all to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Think of a drone what can carry and drop a 1 pound weight from 1000 feet.

[ - ] aleleopathic [op] 1 point 2.5 yearsNov 3, 2021 23:36:07 ago (+1/-0)

Fixed wing for this, which the FAA is shitting their pants over (hence the LOS requirement - fixed wings can go 20 miles pretty easily with a payload).

The current popular ones are the expanded styrene drones, since they are ultra light, and have extreme damage resistance (and have no radar signature as a further advantage).

[ - ] SocksOnCats 0 points 2.5 yearsNov 4, 2021 01:09:57 ago (+0/-0)

I agree fixed wing has a superior payload, but it lacks in terms of covert take-off (and potential landing). Also, can you push a FPV feed 20 miles? Can that be done? I think line of sight wouldn't work for what I'm thinking about.

Getting better - Sharkbyte could do it, but transmit power isn't above 600 mw yet, I assume due to how new it is (current analog is a watt or better). Antennas with the proper gain, combined with good power should do it, or at least get close.

gonna have a tough time with the recoil, unless BIG drone. Physics isn't there. Software "reaction"(control surfaces) to recoil perhaps?

Would like them for Id'ing targets can they relay information (what they see, target lock, precise location (GPS), bearing, heading, speed, weight?, etc) to a ground receiving station (troops)? Can they differentiate between human and animal (wildlife)?

Best bet for that (depending on how large the property is) is a hard wired camera - or set of cameras - mounted up high, preferably small and hidden type cameras.

Drones and wifi cameras will be jammed as soon as possible. any obvious cameras will get lasers shining in them. The zogbots will not let anyone have an advantage over them on the technology side.

Exactly this. The small ones are spotters, without you actually needing a living breathing spotter.

Do keep in mind that Israel has already mounted machine guns to them.

You missed my post on OG Voat then, they've solved this problem 3 years ago, with drone platforms that can be had for around $1k nowadays: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2227168-turkey-is-getting-military-drones-armed-with-machine-guns/

They use humans to pull the trigger, for now.
