Elon Musk “Meanwhile some idiots are still building manned fighter jets like the F-35.”

[Slow Moving]

Drones are overrated all the hype in the beginning of ukraine war now they're all regulated to scouting. They cost as much as modern fighter plane too.

Also for what it’s worth Elon said it five years ago:

I think probably because those programs were started a long time ago. F-35 started manufacturing in 2006, with engineering starting in the 90’s.

Also for what it’s worth Elon said it five years ago how devastating drones will be:

But you have China, who leads in drone swarm tech, investing heavily in the J20 and J35.

I think the reports of the demise of manned jets is greatly exaggerated.

Those are also older projects, before anybody saw drones get deployed like they are. Engineering and design for them most likely occurred long ago. First flight for the J20 was nearly 15 years ago.

I'm pretty sure all major countries right now are prioritizing drone and A.I combat heavily at the minute, but maybe even more is looking into weaponizing photonics.

If you think the United States, a country who has budgeted close to 10 Trillion in Military spending over the last 15-20 years, has not quietly been building the best drone/anti-drone technology in the world then

The way things are going, drones will cost about as much as F-35's.​

Musk is a fukking idiot.

One thing he is not mentioning is the anti drone tech that the U.S. has been developing for the past 50 years.

Between EMP, AA batteries, and jamming/hijacking, this little display is a little christmas light show.

What a self licking lollipop fakkit.

I can't believe people dapped this post as if it is even close to being serious

 

[OneManGang]

ya Elon knows more than military strategists and generals

Fighters and drones do not currently fill the same niches

 

[ROFL_GUY]

Does CACanada even have a military for their fake country?

 

[Gritsngravy]

gonna be robot vs robot .. while everyone chilling at home soon… actually if it comes down to that I wouldn’t mind.. as long as my ai friends don’t take over

Naw they got drones to specifically kill people, and kill them in the most brutal way possible

You're talking out of your ass.

 

[HabitualChiller]

So we're just going to completely disregard things like range and general stealth, huh?

A drone is cool until someone bombs your city to oblivion with aircraft that were launched 5,000 miles away.

You always have Canada on your mind

 

[Him Duncan]

I been out the Navy 8 years... Off of a ship for almost 11, and we were testing launching unmanned drones from my carrier when I was in. Elon outta touch

 

[5n0man]

He’s right breh. You can fly thousands of these… and lose no American lives. U can only fly a few fighter jets and way more expensive

He's not right, these drones aren't long range and are fragile. You'd have to deploy these from within the country or city you're trying to invade. The F35 is a long range jet with fighter capabilities, they can fukk shyt up from a distance, which is the intended purpose of the F35.
