You faggots really need to drop this faux-80s vaporwave filter bullshit already.

Seems easy to shoot down

>>609705

I'll never give up retrowave or vaporwave

>>609732

Retrowave is fine but vaporwave is stupid bullshit. Just open your fucking music player and set speed to 70% or so and you got all the music counterpart of it.

>>609705

This, it isn't even really 80's at all, it's just what redditors think the 80's was like

It's hard to consider it a "Fashy" right wing meme when it was the basis for a couch gag on the The Simpsons. "Retrowave" is a boring genre based on the same fantastic notion of our parent's youth that inspired the latest Marvel movies, and is only capable of similar artistic range. It's fairly consistently topped by the webms more common on 8/k/ and less-popular imageboards featuring a 90's-early 00's video style matched with hypnagogic electronic or contrasted with period-appropriate music, due to it drawing on the more real longing for pre-2007 internet of any anon over 20. The "faux-80s vaporwave filter bullshit" is moreso popular due to it drawing on a popular aesthetic that's been present in popular media since at least 2010.

One bird flying at its blades and its down on the ground. I guess we need to bring back carrier pigeons and train to hunt and seek drones.

>>609812

Sums it up

>>609812

>radio jammer

where is your god now? you can pick em up from china for fuck all as well.

WHATS UP WITH ALL THE LENS FLARE

>>609821

of course, youd have to go with a larger model, i didnt look at that one properly, its just a small batter operated one. you could make one that uses those mini jet engines, and probably even strap a few grenades to it so it can drop those of the idiots that have no idea you have the fucking coolest thing on the planet.

>>609733

Vaporwave is unironically gay.

Retrowave has been infiltrated and after witnessing the fan base in real life it is very clear it attracts exactly the opposite of the time it longs for. Boomer-esque crunchy leftist millenials driving rusting riceburners who have beer guts and LARP as transsexuals with blue hair.

<except it's probably not a LARP

The music got too popular and became infested, should have stayed as it was early in the decade, largely unknown. Instead, we have the futurist and nostalgic visions of a future imagined in the 80s being co-opted by faggots, like everything else that had promise. But I guess that's what you get when you let bugmen into a niche genre.

I went back to listening to revivalist heavy metal, at least for new material. I still have my retrowave albums of course, but I can't listen to new stuff without mentally seeing the unfortunate urbanite sights I was exposed to when a concert was held near me. I'm sure the most of said metal artists are just as gay but at least their music doesn't sound it, not overtly.

>>609859

This right here is so quintessential chan culture. Being contrarian for no reason other than normies are doing it is stupid, there is still a fair amount of content out there that is still enjoyable, particularly music.

I will admit I never enjoyed vaporwave all that much but synthwave and game OST's like Furi and Hotline Miami are very good.

>>609732

Synthwave is perfectly fine.

Making obnoxious images and videos with excessive "80s" filters and degrading audio quality to make them sound like dogshit isn't. It gets especially cringey when it involves Cold War slav conscripts. They didn't care about that shit back them. It doesn't fucking mix.

>>609812

22Lr is meh round, too slow that will make problems fro shooting anything moving and can be stopped by any for of body armor.

5.7x28 on the other hand is quite promising for minimal possible but deadly gun for the drones. FN Five seven with cut off pistol grip and drum mag.

>>609894

>>609817

It's shooting 1200rpm and has 15 seconds of continuous fire, at that point caliber isn't the most important. Jammers that can jam military power communication isn't very common, and even if it was so what? There's a counter to every weapons system, just because there are counters to this one doesn't make it less effective.

>drone thread turns into a deconstruction of post-ironic media tropes

I didn't know /k/ had so much high culture going on.

>>609859

Vaporwave has some good music, but I agree; there is a lot of fags/redditors bringing trap/rap/general poz elements into it and it's pretty infuriating. If you want to avoid the cancer, darksynth is still largely free of cancer. I recommend Masked if you want to hear some great hardcore-parkour music from an underrated artist.

>>610028

I approve, there is some amazing stuff left. Ele/k/tronic music thread?

>>610040

You've found War Aesthetics on youtube, right?

>>610040

I'm OK with that

>>610042

Whenever I see this video, all I can think about it getting blown by that hot Italian chick while I drive around in a Countache.

>>610041

What?

>>609817

You mean a spark generator? You know, the thing that actively broadcasts its location to basically any vehicle with a radar? And would guarantee a definitive air, mortar or artillery strike to happen on it, if deployed on a warzone?

Even if you leave it on a handheld radio inside some abandoned building or under a tree and bolt the shit out of the area, you still haven't dealt with the squad that is actually controlling the drones and you signalled everyone a big marker for your head to be taken.

That countermeasure can be more of a death sentence than just shooting the flying copters with guns strapped on 'em.

Besides, wouldn't it make more sense for military grade drones to have backup fly-by-wire systems that let an operator sacrifice range and manuvreability for immunity to that bullshit? It would still flank corners and be a buffer for enemy fire which it's pretty much its purpose. Problem would be if the drone wire catches on something and falls flat on itself, but that's why you have training corps.

Or heck, can it be loaded with a raspberri Pi and a camera, make it run some terrain-recognition software to make it navigate through corners and shit?

>>610055

Best drone counter measure is another drone with a bit of netting hanging off of it. Fly netting into rotors of other drone, profit. Future warfare is going to be really fucking gay and stupid.

>skeet shooting anti-drone infantry becomes a thing

It already is a thing.

Net launchers, drone-carried net launchers, directed electromagnetic energy/hacking, anti-drone tasers, etc.

>>610117

Why not seperate the bomb from the flyer before delivery? It costs you nothing and saves you a flying thing.

Only absolute kikes would want you to kamikaze every delivery vehicle into the enemy.

>>610238

im seeing short range dummy rockets with about a hand grenades worth of a payload. 50-75 meter range shouldnt be too heavy. get a 5 kilo lift capable drone, strap three of em onto it, and bobs your aunty. give them the ability to be dropped vertically without popping the rocket, and you get a little more bang for your buck as well.

>>610275

Yep, drones are already weaponizable, off the shelf.

And a winged drone could be utilized to be robust to:

>>610199

Just have a mechanism that mechanizes the final stages (after lock-on glide slope set), and keeps updating the mechanical settings, in case of a loss of function.

>>610275

>>610238

This is fucking stupid.

You've described predators.

>>610440

The kikebot costs $15 million dollars, which is more expensive than a flight of freedom fighters. Why do you keep thinking in kike terms? First the shitty kamikaze idea which is designed to make the manufacturer money while screwing over the military, now this shitty comparison to the kikebot. An assault drone would cost maybe $500-1000 which is less than some rifles, fit in two backpacks disassembled, and mini-BRRRRRT or drop regular hand grenades on dumb enemies, and drop RPG-43 on vehicles and bunkers.

>>610446

Actually, if you don't need the thing to run for a lot of hours you could save a lot on costs. How many hours of operation do you need the motors rated at if they only have a flight time of 30 minutes and you'll never recover the vehicle, due to operational constraints? The delivery package, of course, would be non-violent and in accord with FDA, NPR, FCC, FTC, and FAA guidelines.

>>610500

The situation is something like this.

1. Patrolling.

2. Get shot at.

3. Fire back.

4. Enemy takes cover.

5. Every time you try to retreat, enemy pops out to prevent it.

6. Stalemate.

Current solution is either some kind of support, hand grenades, rifle grenades, AT4, or unfolding some contraption like a 1/4 mil Javelin missile to take them out. Most of those are effective, but the last two have severe limitations in price and effectiveness, thus the assault drone is a good replacement for an AT4 or a Javelin missile.

It should:

1. Be cheaper and lighter than an AT4; <8kg, <$14,000 per use

2. Be capable of going around obstacles and destroying things better than a Javelin at 5km max range.

3. Take about 120 seconds to set up and take out the enemy within the next five minutes.

In my opinion it's possible for a light commercial drone to carry a 3kg payload and still fit the 8kg requirement. The payload can either be a BRRRT gun. It can be a 3kg demo pack or 30x butterfly mine casette. I don't want to sound like a commercial but something like a Matrice fits the bill. Infinitely customizable, bare bones, costs as much as an RPG-7, weighs 2.3kg, and can lift about 3.8kg payload if you're willing to accept a flight life of about 15 minutes instead of an hour.

>>610519

At $15K, we can see price/performace is about 1/4th that of what the government has.

Not so great. But unlike small arms, drones can go around obstacles, without exposing the operator.

>>610517

In a real war the drone and battery pack would be breakable into two backpacks, because it's more of a crew served squad/platoon weapon than a fireteam weapon. Kind of like real Javelins, you don't have every team of four guys armed with one, it's more likely that you have a team of guys at a platoon level in charge of using it.

Also depending on size, this is where use of MULTIPLE DRONES to flank enemies and provide supporting fire to your flesh-and-blood soldiers maneuvers.

Let's say it takes a two guy team to operate this thing. One guy to carry about 30kg load of four battery packs each with 15 minutes of go juice and a solar panel for recharging. The other guy carries a 30kg load of a 3kg folded up drone, 0.5kg control pack, and 25+kg of payload weapons. The drone can use regular grenades and demo packs as weapons in an emergency During the use of it, one guy is in charge of controlling the drone and is laser focused with VR goggles, the other guy is in charge of team communication, observation, rearmament and repair.

Average platoon has five teams of these guys for a total of ten dudes, and they form an "assault drone squad", they train together on best ways to use their drones, and when a couple of platoons get together they can raise a small scale air force to trounce large enemy formations.

Sounds like it would be even more cost effective for those on here to start researching and constructing anti-drone weapons. Let's make these things useless the day they're rolled out.

>>610694

Even better: shrapnel rifle grenades. Der Juden im Israel already have those filled with flechettes: the grenade is launched normally, then after a short flight it explodes and covers everything in front of it with flechettes. Basically a shotgun on steroids.

we're living in the early days of the machine war

will it be Terminator or The Matrix

>>610672

Is there something wrong with birdshot? Use a turkey load with one of them fancy low-dispersion wads.

>>610694

That's a normal reflex sight. AAA sights have mechanical adjustment for distance, speed, elevation and windage, but pretty obviously you can't put those on a gun that's not hard-mounted on the ground. Plus the entire mechanism relies on the airplanes having low maneuverability, if it can change direction on a dime and do it frequently then these adjustment mechanisms ain't gonna worth shit.
