Drones from AI will take helicopter protection: Britain became fascinated by the Armed Forces operations
The British Defense Department expects that such a three-layer system will provide a much larger fire power and will be able to protect not only the APache AH-64E helicopter park, but also Challenger 3 tanks, as well as the servicemen themselves. More than 100 million pounds have already been invested in new initial funding for the development of land drones, the UK Minister of Defense John Heli said.
According to the British Minister, it will be a "turning point", and in this approach, an important role was played by war in Ukraine - in particular, operations of the Armed Forces, when expensive Russian fighters and tanks were effectively destroyed by cheap drones. The same opinion is expressed by the head of the General Staff of the role of Walker.
He recalled that expensive equipment is helpless in front of the drone, which can be controlled by even a child who "has been trained only a few days". Therefore, 80% of the armament of the army in the future wars should be drones. In addition, in case of loss of the drone, it is not about the loss of the crew, Walker emphasized. Earlier, Focus reported that the Armed Forces were armed with the latest French drone MV-25 Oskar.
It is an anti -personnel and anti -flakdomotor ammunition designed for a small distance. It can neutralize hostile infantry and light armored equipment with minimal side effects. It was also reported that through new technologies, drones will fly "eternity". Canadian researchers have decided to equip drones with lithium-metal batteries. It became known that the laser for the first time knocked down the drones just in battle.
