Articles like this are why I despise abundance liberals because they’ll see China and go “whaaa why can’t we do that” and then turn around and bitch about this
SM6 is an interceptor, how is it comparable to a cruise missile?
With the price of one SM6 I could procure a trillion rocks
not to mention the complete lack of distinction on range, accuracy, payload, and survivability
unbelievable VC delusion
One missile, or seven. Same price.

Meet Gamera, a new category of Group 5 strike and sensing UAS that we unveiled at @AFA_Air_Space's Air, Space & Cyber Conference today.
Mass-producible, significantly lower cost than legacy platforms, and the first UAS specifically designed to employ bomber-class strike munitions such as LRASM/JASSM-ER, Gamera delivers all of the capabilities needed in the next generation of UAS, at 10X lower cost-per-effect than legacy approaches to strike. With over 9,000 nautical miles of unrefueled range, Gamera's unique combination of low cost, large payload, and long range does not exist in any other UAS.
Since 2022, Swarm has been designing and building Gamera to provide the low-cost persistent strike and sensing that the @usairforce's Massed Modular Aircraft program is now seeking, making the force more capable, survivable, and effective, and renewing U.S. dominance of the skies.

Факт дня: мухи надто вправні у керуванні fpv
У симуляції комаха без проблем пілотує дрон на низькій висоті, активно ухиляючись від будь-яких перешкод
Людські пілоти більше не потрібні, всі йдемо в піхоту
Everyone watching Iran's state-run TV news program probably noticed they picked up an Anduril Dive-LD, our mass-produced attritable submarine.
This particular vehicle has been swimming in CENTCOM for months, successfully operating in support of American forces for thousands of hours. It was explicitly designed to operate in environments too dangerous for humans where capture is an expected possibility. I can't get into the details, but it provided significant value for months before capture.
Rest in peace, little buddy.
the bad news is it’s pretty humiliating that our navy is spending taxpayer money on malfunctioning equipment that just floats into enemy hands
the good news is that Iran will probably find nothing worth reverse engineering on the drone
CENTCOM Spokesperson claims the underwater drone was an older model... despite photos proving that it's a new Dive-LD model.
This is such a significant loss of technology to their enemy, they just can't admit it..

На суші й на морі, на землі та в повітрі, у розпечених пустельних пісках і в снігах крижаної Антарктиди ГУР МО виконує найскладніші завдання заради Батьківщини.
Слава українським розвідникам і слава Україні!
