Why can’t the US do drone warfare like Iran?
>>533724967
>>533724967They did do it 20 years ago already. It led to endless crying of Muslims who called it human rights violations kek Why the fuck do people think the US has no drones or cant use them? It's purely out of optics. Same reason why the US isn't doin the same they did in Iraq or Japan and nuke the shit out of everybody.
>>533724967look up the switchblade you dumb nigger
>>533724967You have to be a poor country to have a military with actual practical weapons you're willing to use nowadays.
>>533724967Cause funnily enough the jews in the MEC take a year to build one for $400k. Even though we're using it for their stupid country.
>>533724967Too busy firing all the generals
>>533725078Switchblade was a total failure retard.300s were too small, 600s were too expensive. There’s a reason you don’t see them being used anymore.
>>533725074Pratty, there’s a difference between UAV wunderwaffen costing hundred of millions of dollars and cheap loitering munitions like the Shahed
>>533724967the US economy is based on the government printing money and paying US based manufacturers to make expensive gold plated weapons in small quantities. When the US makes drones they will cost 50 million dollars each.
Institutional rot
IMO it's because your military industrial complex is not built for cheap mass production.
>>533724967>Why can’t the US do drone warfare like Iran?Does any of you remember when Iran announced its own stealth fighter program? And then they proydly showed their version of stealth fighter? And then they even released video clip about some scale model flying? Remember how rest of us were laughing? Remember when we all laughed when they said they gonna skip real size model and make probably smaller scale "drone" even if they didnt say literally drone because it was idea no one really thought? I mean, TADAA..!
>>533724967Because they are simple and easy to make, many companies and startups could compete for the contracts better than Lockheed etc., which would mean Lockheed etc. get less profits, which means Lockheed etc. won't allow their pet Congresspeople to approve them
>>533724967>Why can’t the USAll tech in America comes from China.
>>533725379The US and Israel both have cheap drones. Cheap Drones arent difficult to make or make deadly. A smart team of US college students could perfect it in a couple of months. But making drones that don't hurt civilians is very difficult. Iranians and muslims in general don't care if they hurt civilians. Americans actually do and are maybe the only ones in this war that do so kek
>>533724967We can, but the military industrial complex requires that we pay defense contractors hundreds of billions of dollars a year and efficient useful technology like drones just doesn't rack up a big enough bill
>>533726491Remind me which side killed 168 schoolgirls again
>>533726560Muslims always make up stuff when they are losing (or winning) kek Im actually more inclined to believe the US didn't kill schoolgirls than believe a muslim. In the end the life of all muslims in Iran depends on the good will of the US. If trump wanted to he could wipe out Iran with the press of a button. But he doesn't want to do it due to his ethical code. Only a retard (muslim) would perceive this as a weakness. Iranians are actually lucky the US is their enemy, and not another Muslim country.
>>533726491I don’t know about Israel but the US did try to mass produce cheap drones (Switchblade program) and it was a pretty big failure. Not only was it too expensive it was also very bad at striking armored targets.
>>533724967How are you supposed to slip in a $500,000 bonus to the execs of Raytheon and Northrup when the drone itself costs less than $2000? That's antisemitic.
>>533726720And Iran could wipe out all desalination, oil and gas in the middle east if they wanted.
>>533724967Iran is wiped out, dumbo
>>533724967Cuz they spent decades building flashy coldwar weaponry and the boomers are unable to adapt.
Can't with private contractor grifters running America's defense industry. They just want to make a small volume of extremely expensive toys to maximize profits. Insanely stupid decision, but that's how bourgeois dictatorships work.
>>533724967Iranian MIC cares about defending their country. AmerIsraeli MIC cares about maximizing profits.
>>533726904These articles are just spam narratives set for some people (investors, traders) to earn money with armament stocks and/or buttblasted muslims who own news outlets. You dont understand how powerful the US is. The US can spam better drones than the Shaheeds but what for? and Who would they target with it? The US really cares about not hurting civilians. During the Afghanistan war for example they would not cross into Pakistani territory if the Taliban they were pursuing fled into Pakistan, even though there is no visible border between the two countries. So the Taliban they were pursuing must have thought "wtf are they doing?" and the US stopped because they respected the (invisible) geographical borders. And I dont like the US , but the reason why they look stupid and weak is becaues they are holding on to some ethical standards that middle easterners simply don't (and nobody expects them to). Also muslims lie all the time about being on the "winning" side even if they are being completely annihilated. For example a common muslim trope is that they claim to have shot down the strongest weapon of their enemy (F-35) while also sexually humiliating them (by capturing a female enemy pilot). It's just never true but for them "winning" the narrative is more important than actually winning in the real world.
>>533727478Pratty this is just cope. Time and again the US has proven that it cannot mass produce cheap drones on the scale Iran has, let alone china. I understand it’s difficult for you to comprehend the fact that the global superpower has a weakness but that’s just how it, and how it’s been for the majority of human history.
>>533726904>it was a pretty big failureThey used the wrong drones.Pigeons are jam resistant.
>>533725078>cals people dumb>isn't aware of the literal copy of the saheed that we manufacture.
>>533728498isn't that just a RC model?
Because the US military industrial complex demands that all equipment be manufactured using trillion dollar government contracts and must cost at minimum 1 million per unit, thus defeating the entire point of something like a Shaheed.
>>533729279No, the LUCAS is in full production. Main difference is we're not using production chinese motorcycle engines. We're using a copy of said chinese motorcycle engine at a massive markup.
>>533729775>We're using a copy of said chinese motorcycle engine at a massive markup.well of course (You) are
>>533724967>>533725040>>533725074I'm waiting for the domestic drone bombings on american soil.Shit will be bussin.
>>533729279Damn, you shitskin pedophiles are desperate as all Hell.
>>533724967Because the US can already do with its airforce what drones allow nations like Iran to do now. Drones are a cheap way to conduct an aerial bombardment. Smart weapons have become affordable and now the US is no longer the only power that can afford to employ them. Now the US needs to invest in drone defenses and engage with third rate nations on a far more equal footing.tl;dr: The relative gain of drones is far bigger for smaller nations than for the US.
>>533725379Nigga (you) are replying to a reddit spacing kike shill
>>533728498it somehow looks worse...
it's always thirdie spic countries seething about us
>>533724967>Why can’t the US do drone warfare like Iran?because the style of drone warfare Iran/Russia are using is defensive, operating from their own soil.the US only wages jewish wars of israeli aggression half way around the planet...so we are simply not built for this type of warfare
>>533726362Current apple products will always be funny to me>take generic chinese phone >add a "wunderwaffle" chip that is actually no better than the competition>add every single anti consumer thing possible to it>sell at 2-3 times the prices of direct competition>burgers pay for that shit because "muh jewmerican product"Lol lmaoKek even
>>533724967Trump is afraid for US soldiers to get killed. He won't send them near. But he's going to have to. And then there will drone videos. Trump knows this. Drone videos are excellent propaganda.
>>533726512>we can but we will have to kill the jews that rule over usSo you can't
>>533729279>Yellow SquadronAbsolutely based, hope that guy gets a lot of enjoyment out of that and it doesn't crash.
>>533731907>>533732741You faggots clearly haven’t been following the Ukraine war.Drones are used for offensive operations there.
>>533732844Trump doesn’t give 3 shits about american lives. The faggot called dead vets losers for dying. The jew lover will gladly send americans to die especially because they arent rich white boys whom he loves to fuck.
>>533728498>literal copy of the saheed that we manufacture.for several times the cost at a much lower rate.
>>533728498>At 5 times the cost>at 0.005 times the production rate.
>>533725157That is a secretary it says so in your picture. He just answers phones.
>>533725189Chief of Staff oh so its just some HR fag
>>533724967Because the US is a country and Iran is a terrorist organization masquerading as a country.
>>533734021country means place and I can see Iran on the map. You jews are such fucking ESL faggots. Country means place. Nation means people.
>>533734132I speak 3 languages while you barely speak one.
lmao this thread>actually being dumb and shitty is good o algo
>>533734132Also please kill yourself greatest ally
>>533724967erm what's the profit margins on those drones? why should I make something that works when I can charge uncle sam $500 for a $0.50 washer?
>>533724967Because military efficiency is for those who want to win wars.The US has a fully privatised military sector; what matters is the price and profit of the weapon whether it performs well in war is irrelevant, since war never takes place anywhere near American territory.
>>533734260quantity has a quality all its ownthe US *used* to understand this, until it absorbed thousands of nazis after ww2 and adopted their retarded high tech wunderwaffen doctrinesjust compare sherman production numbers and how well it performed in the field vs the same stats for literally any german tank
>>533734494The problem is that this matters less because there will probably never be a state of total war like there was in WWII ever again.
>>533724967They are incapable of manufacturing cheaply in the US,also loosing in enginering brainpower, most american universitys teach utter nonsense meanwhile brainwash americans with marxism,and american even pay for that.Also the corruption in the goverment reached africa warlord levels,they can only create very expensive and high tech stuff witch turns out mostly useless(and ofc barely any quantity)
>>533734494>>until it absorbed thousands of Nazis after ww2>Larger warhead that a Shahed>Flies faster than a Shahed>Extra loud sound terrorizes all in it's path>Room for a pilot when it *has* to get thereGermany got a lot of things right with this one.
>>533734494The US understood it perfectly well during the Cold War, but being fabulously wealthy and having a strong industrial base allowed them to have it both ways by mass producing shitloads of sophisticated and expensive equipment. The collapse of the USSR and the US shifting away from its "we need to be ready to fight WWIII at incredibly short notice" posture coincided with arms manufacturers shifting to a profit maximisation attitude where capacity was cut to the bone for "efficiency" (as the US military was suddenly not interested in buying vast quantities of equipment and munitions that need to be on the frontlines yesterday) and selling increasingly expensive shiny new toys because that's much more profitable than boring meat-and-potatoes stuff like artillery shells that the military already has loads of and doesn't have that much demand for in peacetime.
