A US technology firm has developed a drone that is able to aim and fire at enemies while flying in mid-air.
The Tikad drone, developed by Duke Robotics, is armed with a machine-gun and a grenade launcher.
The gun can be fired only by remote control, and is designed to reduce military casualties by cutting the number of ground troops required.
But campaigners warn that in the wrong hands, it will make it easier to kill innocent people.
The Tikad drone, available for private sale at an undisclosed price, has won a security innovation award from the US Department of Defense, and there is interest from several military forces around the world, including Israel, reports Defense One.
You know this would concern me if Barack Obama were still in the White House, but with Donald Trump in the Oval Office this is nothing less than terrifying.
I have seen both the Terminator movies and the Robocop films so clearly I am an expert on this kind of thing.
Spoiler alert, things go really, really, really bad.
Speaking of things going bad, DONALD TRUMP THE WHITE SUPREMACIST WOULD NOT CONDEMN THE KKK-NAZI RALLY AS DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.

ReplyDeleteDonald J. Trump: Heading to Washington this morning. Much work to do. Focus on trade and military. #MAGA 3:26 AM - 14 Aug 2017
Alleged that Chicken Liver is going to address what happened in Charlottesville (specific and direct) today. Too late but something I suppose. They are saying he is mad and passionate and he will nail it this time. We'll see.

Delete"Assad is particularly liked and was branded a “close ally” and an “amazing leader” by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke in March this year on Twitter. Posting another image of the Syrian leader, again wearing dark glasses and military fatigues, Duke hailed Assad as a bulwark against the Islamic State militant group (ISIS)."Leading U.N. war crimes investigator Carla Del Ponte, who last week stepped down from her role in frustration over the international community’s inability to try alleged war criminals, has said there is enough evidence to convict the Syrian leader."One protester wears a T-shirt bearing the moniker “Bashar’s Barrel Delivery Co.” “Assad did nothing wrong,” says Tim Gionet, a far-right social media activist.
“Barrel bombs, hell yeah.”"

Is anyone really surprised this has been developed? You know they've been heading in this direction for years.
ReplyDeletePerhaps if we took the distance and disconnect from war and forced soldiers to fight only with combat knives, forcing them to get really up close and personal with the enemy, would could slow down this race to violence.
Or not.
I notice the Alt Right took particular pleasure in getting up close and personal with the "Antifa" they were beating on while the police just watched.
Maybe if we put women in charge. Yes, if women ran the world.
Wait. There were white women also marching with the Nazis, Klanners and White Supremacists.
Perhaps a really good, human specific plague would work. Leave the planet to the animals. The earth would heal and the flora and fauna would eventually become balanced again.
Yep. Humans are just a malignant parasite on the planet. We won't stop until everything is dead, including ourselves.
