This is over a year-and-a-half old. But it's never been posted here before, unless I really messed up my search terms. Or, perhaps more likely, it's a completely unrealistic fantasy and nobody else on FR was dumb enough to fall for it. But I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Again, the video here => Portable drone/missile concept

Small diameter rocket can't probably knock out a tank nor penetrate aircraft carrier's 12" armor unless made from depleted uranium armored pershing.

Have you heard U.S. Navy have successfully tested the anti-missle laser weapon? 

Wait until Israel really use the laser weapon to stop Hamas' rockets fired from Gaza.

Already done and is about to become operational - except uses AI swarming. There is at least one article on this weapon at the War Zone. You’ll have to look for yourself.

Apparantly a Russian-made simulation - note the US ships attacking other US-made ships at the end.

Unmanned wafare - drones, underwater unmanned vehicles, Unmanned ground vehicles are the future of warfare. They will either be remotely piloted or completely autonomous as AI technology improves.

Inexpensive self-guiding stuff makes high-end, manned stuff just mass casualty-producing targets.

But - the drones depicted in this video are just fantasy versions - the idea of hovering formations of drones pausing over the target would make them vulnerable to directed counterfire. Where it gets hairy is using hypersonic and agile AI-controlled drones attacking from several directions.

Hopefully, we have at least some of our leaders not involved with "diversity and inclusion" that are developing these weapons ahead of our enemies.

I wonder if a DIY one could take out black helicopters?
