#13  This is all concept. So much fantasy here. Someone is trying to get a big grant with this video. For a scenario that is 30 years out of date.

#11  Gee, do you think suppressive jamming might be a problem for the little bots, notwithstanding their thermal anomalous signature to recon drones?

#10  Is it...solar powered?

Besides, the aerodrome would have been annihilated by the Russian transforming Ice Cream Truck of Death?

#9  Someone sort of miss the long time love affair the Russians/Soviets have had with preparatory artillery barrages.

#8  All those rocket systems would need to be communicating with each other and the overhead drone. Even if you can't crack the encryption, you will know they are there.

#7  Don't you think Armata defensive system is a bluff, FA?

#6  re RT - perhaps Russian engines in everything? Paging ULA and Lockmart on the courtesy phone.

#5  2 problems with the concept as shown on the video:

1)The video shows the shells blasting straight through the reactive armor. Not clear that is going to happen.

2)The Armata has a defensive system specifically designed to shoot down/destroy any projectile approaching too quickly. Our only protection against the Armata is it's too complicated to build in large numbers.

#4  And then the video ends it up with ads from RT (Russia Today) networks.

Not holding my breath.

#3  Assumes the US Military controls the airspace and can react to the correct axis of attack. Also assumes advancing enemy scouts or infantry don't discover these systems first. I loved watching the thing retrieving it's own parachute canopy. I had to wonder if it repacked the chute as well.

More costly robotage from defense contractors.
