Jesus. First time I’ve heard about RAAMS recently and now drone-laid mines. That is dense as hell too! I’m anxious about these upcoming months.
Okay everybody, listen. I have a brilliant idea. What if you take one of those tiny robots, superglue a mine on its back and then run it in front of the tanks so they run over it and blow up?
Sure you lose the tiny robot, but you just destroyed the tank at the cost of a tiny robot. How expensive can that tiny robot be?This could be some looneytoons-levels of elephant and mouse game.
That reminds me of the dogs they used in WWI and WWII.
this is already done, but with drones and not what amounts to rc cars, not mines but RPG warheads, and not glue but zipties
advantage is that drone is much faster and harder to notice, and RPG warhead is some 3x lighter and just as versatile in this application
edit: and another problem is that microwave communications require line of sight between robot/drone and operator, you’ll see that frequently fpv drones lose signal right before hitting target. this is due to trees or something getting in the way
I like how it just poops out the mines.
