The West Is Finally Getting Its Act Together1030.06.2025, 11:11 12,658 Drones have become an assembly line.The United States and Europe have begun to present promising weapons projects. Basically - drones of various types and purposes, but with the mandatory use of AI (real AI, not what Russian propagandists teach about the same modernized "Shaheds") and inclusion in the general information system of combat. This is exactly what I was talking about as a natural development of unmanned systems.And here it begins to appear, as they say, in metal. Although in fact there is much less metal in these designs than modern high-tech plastics.It is important to note that we are not just talking about ideas and announcements of developments that exist only on paper. No, these are real devices that can be tested in real combat conditions and launched in series.The British modernization and large-scale production of the Ukrainian long-range drone "Bober" is among the projects that attract attention - let's hope that it will learn to better resist enemy REB.I would like to mention the Californian development of "Viper" - a vertical takeoff strike jet drone with a range of 300 km and a speed of more than 400 km/h. The drone is being developed jointly with European partners and is planned to be cheap to produce.Also in Britain and the USA (simultaneously!) are launching a new modification of our successful crewless boat "Magura". And in France, they are working on an autonomous submarine that could operate in coordination with the Magur flotilla; among other things, they are talking about setting "smart underwater mines" capable of hunting enemy ships.AeroVironment, the manufacturer of the famous Switchblade kamikaze drones, which are in service in the U.S. and were used in Ukraine, has unveiled a new Red Dragon drone. Its range, unlike its predecessors, reaches 400 km, and it is able to successfully perform tasks without GPS signals and operator assistance. Because it is able to detect targets by itself.The list of new promising weapons projects can go on, in particular, there are tests of interceptors of various types, primarily focused on "chess". I single out among the developments are those that have received support in the West, because this war requires mass production. Which cannot be deployed in Ukraine under missile and drone strikes.Three years the countries of the civilized world have been deciding whether to confront the Russian threat - for a very long time. It seems that they have finally figured it out and started to act. What is fundamentally important, together with our developers, because independent Western products do not always show themselves successfully at the front. I hope they will not stop. And we will see the results already this year.Because the Ukrainian soul has long needed a holiday. Big, loud, bright. With fireworks and mass movement. In Moscow. And so that no air defense system can prevent this celebration.Alexander Kochetkov, FacebookPATREONSupport the website Write your comment 10 You can support the website Charter97.orgMULTI-CURRENCY ACCOUNT FOR ASSISTANCE:Bank's name: Bank Millennium S.A.Address: ul.
