Taiwanese suicide drones

But can they swarm an area lock-on and dive bomb like LOCUST from hell?

The drones in the pic don't have EO sensors

They most probably have passive homing seekers tuned to seek out certain specific frequency bands eg from radars etc also some might have MMW seekers to find and locate targets and engage them irrespective of emitter signals from hostiles.

Either way

If the drones have AI based inter networking and autonomous decision making capabilities built in them , then all drones will share target localisation and target data amongst themselves and based on pre-programmed threat library, assign targets amongst themselves , sometimes depending on threat perception as per pre fed data, prioritise multiple drones on a single target or even conduct BDA to detect any surviving hostiles and then engage them again and again if required.

What u asked if I understood correctly is can drones swarm attack a particular geographical area simultaneously ?

If yes

Then that is possible from these types of drones also, provided they have EO sensors for man in the loop mode or TERCOM / DSMAC etc sensors for autonomous mode with relevant AI based capabilities.

Possibilities r endless can't confine them in few lines of words

U can read my post on swarming tech used in Soviet era P-700 / 3K45 Granit / SS-N-19 Shipwreck AShM.

It is explained simple enough to give a better understanding of basic swarming if u want.

Ok my turn to ask question to u

where is the location of hell ?

You are not Nigerian or your a biafruadian Pseudo Jew with a mental deficiency. Keep your delusions to yourself.

See human beings talking!!!

pacretus:
what you are doing now, is what we did few years back. Trying to defend a "lame" nation, of which IMHO, its blind patriotism. We have wicked leaders who are feeding fat on our taxes, prolonging the war and becoming clueless along side their corruption. A fucking general as President who doesn't know how to organise the security of the Nation.

Tell me haven't we seen the worst. If under a former military leader and a general, the Nigerian military can be this disoriented and weak, what do you expect from a civilian. Abeg just leave this thread to continue resting because all sub Saharan African militaries are worst now than when the thread was on fire.

Please what is the difference between an MRAP and an APC.

The Nigerian army looks very well equipped, but why are we struggling with this Insurgency?

I know it's not really easy, but soldiers always complain a lot. Why is that?

As far as I know a MRAP is a light tactical vehicle used for such things as patrols in troubled areas. Even the police use them. APCs on the other hand are more hardcore, next thing to the MBTs and their primary role is safe transfer of troops into and out of battles. The shape itself can tell, where MRAPs usually have a more traditional van look while APCs look more like tanks.

not all APC are MRAPs but all MRAPs are APCs

Are there any APCs that can be considered MRAPs? Example?

Ah

That was hot fusion not cold fusion...cold fusion occurs at a room temperature..(for me waiting for ths.. orthe ZPMs from stargate )
anyway we got agree corporates are becoming powerful every day..look at google it able to alter the perception of stuff..Google can dictate what we read based on their search..it can intentionally affect elections without knowing..look how we are dependent on its services..mail,maps,droid an stuff...Their AI (deep mind) is currently on another level..Google being accused by some American(gop tards) of treason for working with China on AI stuff...

Look every scifi movie i watch ends with two scenarios
1.The rise of machines
2.The rise of Corporations
ok the third is apocalypse world

What we used to call scifi years back is now a reality..Think about that

show off

A MRAP is simply an apc which is protected against mines.

jln115:

Correct

..

TayserMahri:

MRAP(Mine resistant ambush-protected) thus a mrap is just an apc which is protected against mines.

The designation MRAP is a relatively new term which was coined by the US in die mid 2000s.

South Africa have been building MRAPs since the 60s yet simply called them mine protected armoured personnel carriers(apc)

Examples:

RG31
Casspir
Mamba
Buffel
Marauder

TayserMahri:

just to clarify, about 90 % of modern day APCs are also MRAPs....... With the exception of a few heavy tracked APCs.

I also think you might be confusing IFVs with APCs

I see. The theatre of warfare has been constantly changing over the years leading to many changes in quality and role of equipment and the names thereof. E.g frigate vs destroyer confusion was also similar to MRAP vs APC.

You just made it worse! You are absolutely wrong.

jln115:

No. IFVs provide direct fire support, ie. they stick to the battleground, while APCs do not. Im not confusing the two.

Their is still a clear difference between a frigate and a destroyer though.... Except one is becoming obsolete

But a MRAP will always be an APC.

TayserMahri:

What about APCs that are armed with 20mm cannons, they also stick to the battlefield.

APCs with big guns like a heavy machine guns also stick to the battlefield.

I don't quite understand why you think an APC cannot provide support for infantry soldiers.

you said APCs are next thing to the tanks bro!!

Then they are IFVs not APCs, its about the role.

jln115:

Only small countries buy Frigates alone. Big countries with Oceangoing fleets still build destroyers.

USA, Russia, China, Japan , Britain etc.

jln115:

I don't understand?

kabe1:

I don't understand?

it's about the role of the vehicle....you can have an APC and an IFV based on the same platform but have different roles.

jln115:

I agree with this in a way, although they are no longer designated as just MRAPs. They have a new name, like that Nigerian Ezugwu vehicle is not really an MRAP.

The vehicle Australia recently bought also can protect against mines, but it is not an MRAP.

TayserMahri:

meant to say wheeled APCs..... My bad!

jln115:

Some armies use them interchangeably. Read about their respective histories.

jln115:

So you mean if I have a big gun on a vehicle like Proforce MRAP, it is no longer an MRAP?

What about the design?

MRAP is just a designation used by some manufacturers and not by others.

By definition the Casspir is a MRAP but Denel simply states that its a mine protected APC.
