Also this thing has missile pods. Have only seen one drone with a missile in ukraine and it was an RPG firing at a vehicle. Vast majority is grenades, mortars, bombs and RPG warheads. Only some interceptors have Air to Air missiles
This is just MH6 little bird but cheaper for alot less capability.
The reason why there's not alot of drone with missile is because the drone IS the missile. This manned quad copter doesn't bring anything more to the table where it matters.
One thing China is good at is keeping their rich in check.
I remember (vaguely, don't quote me) about some Chinese company making toys. They were penny pinching and changed the formula to something toxic which resulted in a kid dying.
They executed the executive responsible..
Also look at Jack Ma, was getting mouthy so they made him disappear, people started to think he was dead. He wasn't and has started making appearances again, but he's being quiet.
CCP doesn't fuck around and won't hesitate to remind the rich who's really in charge.
I think there's a middle ground somewhere that we can learn from. It would be good if white collar crime was treated with the seriousness it deserves instead of a slap on the wrist and costing the taxpayer millions in court.
Nobody wants a Russian style of government. Furthermore Xi has laundered corrupt funds through his entire extended family, so if Xi loses power his entire family is going to be executed.
I heard the same story but about baby formula, they were cutting it with something that could still pass the test that tests if the formula has the correct amount of nutrients.
Same outcome; executed the the men in charge and jailed the rest of them.
I heard this story very recently too so kinda funny seeing a comment telling a similar tale.
You end up with a situation like saudi bombing yemen to fuck. They're all rich as shit from oil and none of them want to be ground troops, so they sit in air conditioned bombers
Yemen still isn't theirs because air superiority doesn't hold territory.
Oh my sweet naive american shut in redditor. Actually not even that is an excuse as even just randomly browsing reddit you should be well aware that the "no vices" is only a faced in the middle east.
The buildings immediately around the sacred cube at Mecca house one of the highest amount of prostitutes in the world.
Western instragrammers and influencers maintain their livestyles by prostituting themselves in the most rancid ways to rich Saudis.
It's where the term "Dubai porta potty" and "Dubai chocolate" come from.
YOU spend your days jerking your shrimp to some instagram baddie, while she's in some 6 star hotel mansion getting pissed on by some fat dude in sandals that you think isn't having fun.
Also the no alcohol thing is only in public as well. Behind closed doors all is good.
And to end on a note that you will surely understand better, and will sting you more, consider your favvie mobile game. Now consider that there are thousands of rich middle easterners that are above you in the rankings not by being better, not even by playing more from their mansions, no, by simply dumping thousands of dollars and often tens of thousands in the game shop and buying their way to the best items/character progression.
But yeah, "how do they even have fun", i guess lol.
I know all this brother, I've got colleagues that are regularly there for work and they are some of our big clients. One of them even went to a secret opium den, but i don't consider doing heroin to be "fun".
And you, my dear smug nationally unidentified redditor, seem to think they ALL live like that. Do you really think the average dune rider there has the cash to pay a Colombian model to eat camel shit in his palace? Do you think the average bedouin buckaroo is soliciting whores in Mecca? Do you think the average sandal surfer has a distillery in the basement?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then I'm packing up and going there now. But if the alternative is that i have to play shitty Chinese mobile games for fun, i would rather die.
The point of this is soft power, not practicality. This is like something a 12 year old would come up with. Looks fun as hell.
It's similar to humanoid robotics in China. There is no reason to invest so much in humanoid robotics if your goal is just utilitarian robotics, it's about soft power.
"No reason to invest in humanoid robots", it always baffles me how redditors spend their lifes online and can't even understand the most basic and obvious technological applications and necessities.
I didn't say "No reason to invest in humanoid robots", I said "There is no reason to invest so much in humanoid robotics". It's about the weighting of humanoid robotics compared to everything else. Industries in other countries abandoned weighting humanoid robots so highly over 20 years ago.
Same corrupt military-industrous complex and huge egos of stupid generals.
Lazerpig and people like him have done a lot of research and fun vods on how much of these projects infest (and are detrimental to) the western-world.
It's like the warthog, completely retarded from every standpoint but a bunch of ww2 generals and larpers went "Nah nah jetengines are a fad, CAS is where it is at! Just like horses are totally gonna make a comeback!"
Because as we saw in Ukraine and more recently in Iran, modern wars seem to start with volleys of cruise missiles back and forth until both sides run out, then you're back to 20th century warfare, just with cheap drones on the frontline as well
Only after maneuver warfare breaks down. Modern warfare is bombing campaigns, followed by combined arms warfare with maneuver warfare, then if that breaks down its back to trenches and artillery barrages.
Well, if we are speaking about America it's not about whats cheapest. It's more about how the military industrial complex can waste more of tax payer money.
lol why tf did you delete your original comment and then respond again? Are you really that desperate for my attention? I had elected to ignore your first comment because what’s the point, but yes, I do think that a full-sized attack helicopter known to have survived hits from RPGs is likely more up-armored than this open-canopy e-scooter of the skies.
It IS endlessly funny, but not for that reason. It's for the reason it is simply and purely an american fantasy, in movie and videogames only.
No real country cares to invade america. It makes no sense logistically. America is already functionally an island, all you have to do is sink its navy and/or bombard it strategically with long range missiles and it's already imploding.
It's america that has a constant need to invade and control far nations that have no qualm with it. Without tightly controlling the world economy, america is left in a corner sobbing.
Small arms fire could take down most helicopters and even fighting planes.
They're not built to bounce bullets.
They're built to be light, fast, and carry an inordinate amount of ammo that can blast little frail u-cecilforester in the dark from 10 miles away and see the last moments of sheer stupor on his distorted face as his body gets torn to dust on the thermal cameras.

When I was younger and played Blizzard games, I always laughed at how unrealistic it was that a bow and arrow or a throwing spear could take down a sophisticated flying machine.
I now apologize to Blizzard, as they were right all along.
I'm implying that it's a cheap piece of shit. It's also not doing anything on the battlefield except exposing hidden targets when they burst out laughing at you using this thing in a real warzone.
I'm not a ballistics expert, but maybe if you were close enough you could take it down with a good shot with a powerful compound bow? This thing's rotors looks flimsy enough that a 12 gauge with birdshot could probably down it.
You better hope you die on contact with enemy or win with that because of that altitude you're basically too low to parachute and high enough to fall to your death.
MikuEmpowered@reddit
There's a reason why you don't see this in Ukraine or Iran.
Unless you have air superiority, this is just a shittier helo with less electronic for better survival / targetting.
If you're flying a swarm of this, might as well send out a swarm of expendable drones.
