Lots of info on drones too. A new weapon on many fronts.
Video contents include several topics that tie back to the domestic political situation.
Recent emergence of pulsed microwave weapons. Used for anti-drone defense, but smaller versions appear to be for anti-personnel use.
First war won through drone use in the 44-day proxy war between Russia and Turkey where Armenia was defeated by Azerbaijan. (Link to article in comments).
Drone sensors defeated camo. Drone weapons wiped out Armenia's armored weapons and rockets.
Drones already being used in the USA. Much to be learned about how they could be used to suppress patriots.

Ten Lessons from the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War

Good INFO. Listened last night. Thanks.
RELEASE THE BRACKEN!!!!
Has the US developed any drone swarm (and anti-swarm) weapons yet?
I don't know. I only worked on drone stuff for comm trades for Predator/Reaper which is a very large drone. The small drones would not have much payload capability so I don't know what the CONOPS would be for them in combat situations. I guess that individually a small drone would make a good recon platform.
They have small drones that can carry SMGs, flamethrowers and, presumably, shaped charges.
I would think the US armed forces would see a need to be able to destroy swarms of such vehicles.
5G?
When folks on FR say, “Buy more ammo” what they should be doing is buying shovels, picks, and the means to hide heat signatures and check for infrared leaks in their setups.
For what, to hide in the woods vs. the entire Woke Revolutionary U.S. Military?
How did hiding heat signatures help the Armenians?
Could drone skeet be a new sport?
And fill all of those old grocery bags with gasoline!
It probably didn’t - but another 1,000 rounds of 7.62mm isn’t going to do diddly, either.
Point is, it’s best not to ever be seen, but the arm-chair rebels don’t seem to get why that is and how this won’t be 1861.
6. MASKING: During the war the Armenians could not hide. Physical camouflage was ineffective. One Armenian soldier said: “We cannot hide, and we cannot fight back.” Unable to mask from enemy sensors and precision strikes, the Armenians were demoralized. If camouflage is no longer enough, then a new concept of “masking” is required. Masking is the ability to become hard to detect and difficult to target. Masking involves a full spectrum effort to employ all active and passive means to confuse, disaggregate, disrupt, jam, and deceive the enemy’s sensors and targeting network. Masking will require new systems that minimize thermal and electronic signatures. Masking will also require new tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). In the modern battlespace you either mask or die.
If it is time to hide then it is time to attack. Find the drone operators and stop them.
