Desi debutant from the @IAF_MCC Heritage Flight — the restored HAL HT-2 finally made its public appearance. Superb demo, pity about the terrible weather conditions.
INSV Kaundinya with her sails up. The “Gandaberunda” or two headed bird was the royal insignia of the Kadamba kingdom who ruled the Konkan coast for centuries. Appropriate as the ship was built in Goa and inducted in Karwar
����🇳 60 Years of IAF strikes on 23 PAF flying bases
From Sargodha to Shorkot, from Chaklala to Skardu—this is the STRIKE legacy of @IAF_MCC .
1965. 1971. 2025.
Different decades.
Different jets.
Different Weapons.
Same Outcome.

@ParveenKaswan@ThomasVintoms Perhaps a network can be considered where you have drones that capture photos of the land regularly, and ground data analysis which detects human traces like campfires, cut down vegetation etc.

A $400 suicide drone designed and assembled by a Ukrainian engineering student can take out a $10 million dollar Russian tank (Russia has even more drones).
Apparently both Ukraine and Russia go through tens of thousands of drones per month.
I’m surprised I’m not seeing a lot of coverage of the dramatic shift away from traditional military equipment like tanks and attack helicopters in Ukraine, and a rapid adoption of FPV (first person view) drones.
We’ve all seen horrifying footage of these drones taking out individual soldiers (very depressing), but there’s been very little talk about the strategic shift going on and what it means.
The implications of this massive paradigm shift are significant.
It appears to be as big of a shift as the move away from horse calvary in WW1 to mechanized warfare (tanks, airplanes, machine guns, submarines, gas, etc), and we are in the very early stages.
Ukraine has apparently stopped asking the US for tanks and other expensive traditional military equipment and wants supplies for suicide drones and loitering munitions.
We could see swarms of millions of suicidal drones wiping out hundreds of military targets (including aircraft carriers) in a single morning. A 21st century version of D-Day.
Imagine AI doing most of the work of identifying and locating a target, then phoning home to a drone operator to pull the trigger. Drone operators will shift away from “flying” drones and locating targets, and instead will be preoccupied with switching to various drone screens on ready to attack targets dozens of time throughout the day.
And because hard targets like tanks will increasingly become sitting ducks (even with sophisticated jamming that can be overcome by “signal boosting drones”) there will eventually be far fewer hard targets on the battlefield to attack. The primary targets will be humans.
@JA_Maolankar Is a drone capable of rolling/driving on land as well as flying, being considered for this? Maybe it will help with endurance and range in forests.
