Finnish drone blimps are the future of weapons. Think about it.30km/hour200 meters altitude12+ hours flight timeSilentExtremely cheapMultiple bullet holes cannot stop itCombine with HIMARS or that old slaughterbots clip and you've won war. Whoever launches the zeppelin swarm from a cargo van first and establishes aerial surveillance superiority wins.
>>64279547https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHdd1ILQRLIProven in Finnish forests for over a year. Inexpensive hydrogen and over 2kg payload. You could buy a swarm of these for the price of a T90.
They just need to fly higher and spam chaff
>>64279568IDK you could if you wanted, but the wunderwaffen magic is in the loiter time not anything else. What's keeping drones one more weapon in the armory instead of ultimate homogeneous swarm domination is their flight time. Once you can get around the clock camera views to aim artillery it'll all over.
>>64279556Wow, a whole 2 kilograms?!?>>64279588As a practical matter you already do have that, because as one drone flies home another flies out and two are on-station.
>>64279547I thought it was at least 2-3 years before we got to the Zeppelin stage of Finno-Korean Hyper war 2.0, has the timeline advanced?
They are just meant to be radio relays for other drones. I think they were advertised to do geographical stuff like forestry studies, LIDAR scans, game population checks etc.
>>64280054and searching missing people, firewatch duties, things like that. Basically civvie-tech oriented. Maybe some limited military applications like picket duties. Certainly not front line stuff.
Practice target for FPV interceptors

>>64280054>>64280064I mean... a loitering eye-in-the-sky that can just hover there for days and do all sorts of air-to-air and air-to-ground scanning and work as a radio relay (essentially a movable 5g mast), maybe work as a mothership for smaller drones... does sound quite handy. Especially for civvie tech where you don't need to worry about someone jamming or shooting at you. Someone lost in the forest/desert/sea? Just pop one of these bad bitches out there and set it to automatic grid-search pattern. One dude sitting in an office looking at the feed from it does the job of a whole squadron of helos. Might be able to broadcast a cellphone signal so the civvies can use it as a mast to call for help even in places where there is no coverage. yeah, I can see why it would make sense for stuff like that. How that would translate for much more military-oriented stuff... remains to be seen. .
>>64279556The problem for zeppelins was always wind. When there is a persistent wind it has to either anchor or constantly waste propulsion to stay in the same place. I guess there isn't much wind in Finland but even then the claim in that video no way - it would have been going out for trips on windless days.
>>64279547Rocket powered blimps are the future
>>64279547>30km/hour>200 meters altitudeWow that sounds like ass
>>64280268>there isn't much wind in Finland>the video is taken in Helsinki, a coastal city
>>64280268doesn't seem like much of a prob. just make a rope that can lasso any random tree.An H2 balloon on long string in strong wind will take care of itself just fine.
>>64279547Didn't the US use these like two decades ago in GWOT
>>64279796Hwan Moskova has no chance when Binnish Blimps blasting Säkkijärven Polkka (auditory hyperwar lostech) blot out the sun as they slowly overfly the oblast, disabling all weapon systems within earshot. After the Korean vassal state loses its capital, Hwan defeat is all but inevitable.
Oh
that's why the cia is brainwashing monkeys and coking them up to throw darts at mach speeds.
>>64279547my picture from 3 years ago SOMEHOW becomes relevant again
