Could a 1-5Mt be carried by a drone?
>>65326086A B-52 could be a drone.
>>65326121Wait, let me ask a retarded question here: why do we even need to have bombers be manned anymore?
>>65326086we've seen hallow triangle road traps carried by a 14 prop drone, odds are that was over 700lb
>>65326086it's conceivable that you could mount a B83 to a MQ-9, so yeah. the big thing is weight, this thing is over 2000 lbs.
>>65326137bomber crews are very expensive but ultimately more expendable than the bombers they man, which are also expendable.
>>65326146Lol imagine that drone getting hacked or the drone operator getting cold feet / turning traitorYou'd have to have like ten guys holding him at gunpoint at the station
>>65326137The bombers are too complex to substitute for robots.Far too many old systems in them, they can be repairwd midair, and crew often notice failures as they happen rather than relying on sensors which can also fail.New bombers maybe would be fine, but not anything before the 90's.
>>65326173story time from my dad. back when he was in the navy he was an ordnance loader on an aircraft carrier, and anytime they would train loading and arming nukes there would be a squad of marines standing behind them.
>>65326086Depending on how you stretch the definition of "drone," yes, you can. It just has to be very, very large.
>>65326199Standard. That’s how you know if the nuke is live.
>>65326137>what is electronic warfare
Niggerfaggot
>>65326086Regulus and Hound Dog said hi.
>>65326086Yeah it's called a missile.
>>65326137They have had bomber drones for a long time!
>>65326624that's a cruise missile.
