Asis Songar, the first national automatic firing stabilized mini armed drone system developed for day and night use in every operation for military and security purposes.
Turkish company reveals gun toting mini drone
at first glance I thought it said gum looting mini drone. just Imagine a massive version of that arcade claw game but with hajis.
>Gets downed with one bullet by an half competent ISIS member
You now have armed them with one more automatic weapon congrats
It's very likely it will be used against American partner forces in Syria. And they aren't that competent

Another kamikaze quadcopter from a Turkish company
>one mag drone
>Döner
as a proof of concept it's fine but yeah it needs more capacity
I guarantee you this is only impressive to hadjis.
I know a guy who knows a guy who worked at a military contractor place back before "drones" was coined "UAV was the term". The predator didnt even exist yet.
And they were only trying to fine tune automatic target selection. The gun question was solved.
If they solved the question ~20 years ago, why is there no such operational mini drone around?
Looks like it cant handle recoil.
its hard to see the screen during the day
What?
Go outside at noon with your phone at half brightness and try to reply to this post. Then think of how much worse itll be in the sandbox.
How is that relevant to the subject?
Why do all these remote weapon systems use sticks to aim instead of 1 to 1 controls like a mouse or trackpad
Drone dogfights in the future
because the fucking boys on the ground cant fucking use them
>lose a 2000 dollar drone and gun instead of losing a soldier
>just send in a new drone after the old one gets shot down
>fuck, don't just blow up the ISIS guys now that they have revealed their position shooting at your small, virtually free, drone and blow them up with your armed UAV that's flying 10 thousand feet in the air
HOLY KEK
>what about stoppages
>how do you reload
>video game controller used to control a wobbly drone with a non-HE weapon
You would of been better off strapping 3-4 tubes underneath a cheap drone and using that to shoot 40mm directly down onto enemy heads like a poor mans on call indirect.
Make the screen brighter?
this.
i would rather lose a drone than lose a life (terrorists dont count cuz they're cunts and would rather be violent and bomb innocent people than use diplomacy)
>what about stoppages
You fly it back and fix it
>how do you reload
You fly it back and reload it
>video game controller used to control a wobbly drone with a non-HE weapon
How is your combat drone doing?
>You would of been better off strapping 3-4 tubes underneath a cheap drone and using that to shoot 40mm directly down onto enemy heads like a poor mans on call indirect.
Then do it.
Doner means "(it) Spins" in Turkish.
At least its not as autistic as the saiga taped on a rc plane
honestly it would probably be a better idea to put recoilless or a 40mm grenade launcher on it, even just some bomb-dropping mechanism would probably be a better idea. even if the drone has some kind of aimbot capability, it would be pretty hard to aim directly with bullets. hell even jihadi's have the right idea with the jury-rigged commercial drones they use.
They way you write makes me think you are a child.
You can use a screen hood like camera operators have been doing forever.
Why is it always the Turk Roaches that come up with this cyberpunk shit. I mean look at the BP-12 and UTS-15, they look futuristic as shit.
Looks like all that experience from the armed drones used by Turkish proxy militias has finally paid off for their defense industry.
You are dumb
>I know a guy who knows a guy who worked at a military contractor place back before "drones" was coined
>back before "drones" was coined
Sometime in the 1950s? Drones were part of military nomenclature since at least 60s
No shit look at that muzzle flop around. What's the point of full auto if the second round hits 15 feet below the first?
Drones make more sense as a kamakazi weapon. They are cheap compared to ordnance and would be hell to deal with for sand people without jamming capabilities
turks lmao more like cringe
I actually like this. Imagine being able to attack an enemy like you're running and gunning in COD. Getting right in their face and going full-auto with an M249 is going to kill a group of 5 or less by itself if they're grouped up well and only have a couple seconds' warning. This could be a huge step for modern warfare.
Movements are much easier to fine tune 1:1 with sticks than with mouse and trackpads.
Considering soldier's weapons don't teleport back to base when they die, we would have the same problem anyways. Also consider that this drone costs less than quite a few nation's standard kits, let alone salary and all the other things soldiers need that have to be paid for.
You don't really have a place to swing a mouse araound in most combat environments
If cost wasn't an issue, having one rigged with a small fragmentation bomb and just buzzing into mg and sniper nests would be fantastic. Last second of footage would be Abdul's face with a " what the fuck?" expression.
This ain't the main field Turkey advances. Turkey is pretty much into building high altitude lond endurance armed drones. And currently has the third largest armed drone fleet in the world.
No they're not. In fact sticks are never 1:1
You really don't need to swing a mouse around. A remote drone being piloted in a building somewhere can easily be done with a mouse with no downsides. In the field, a trackball or track pad can be used with no detriment to the soldier
Why not a payload of grenades instead?
Arsenal Bird when?
How much do mortar warhead weigh? This is probably a better use than a gun.
How loud are these things?
If that thing hits bullseye from 200 meters, can a person hear it before it comes?
all competitive video games say otherwise. A mouse is quicker and more precise.
Usability in the field. You want something that's self contained, can work in many environments and positions (standing, lying down, crouching in a ditch), and works with gloves. Mouse fails at 1 and 2, trackpad fails at 3. There are touch devices that work with gloves but the precision and responsiveness of them suck. Joysticks handle all use cases
thats a 1400$ drone (more 2 years ago) and pretty sure they dont have amazon in syria
who bought and sent ISIS so many fancy toys?
we all know (((who)))
children are not allowed here
You need to get in close to your opponent to drop a grenade. With a gun you can start engaging them from several hundred meters so your drone has a much better chance to ambush them as well as being much harder for them to hit since it's so small and far away.
A very scary future awaits the infantrymen
Israel and turkey (turkey was BFF with Isis the first years of the war because the kurd problem and cheap oil).
nothing cant be worse than this back then
r...right?
*can
Grenade launcher you dense idiot
That's a Turkish Drone strike American backed Kurdish group in Northern Iraq.
Turkish armed drones now has capability to engage moving targets
Roachland is basically a cyberpunk dystopia where a religious cult uses technology and media control to rule over the populace, and does so successfully despite the internet (as a first).
t. Roach
A resistive track pad will work with gloves. A track ball is also a rugged option that would meet all requirements
>Turkish armed drones now has capability to engage moving targets
They've had that for years.
Fair point but have you seen the footage from Syria of these dropping mortars? Nobody notices. They're flying high enough that they're hardly visible and inaudible. These things are a little harder to spot than you think.
This kinda size, probably barely hearable at 400-500 feet, completely inaudible by 800-1000. If you're not listening for it, or you're near noise like a vehicle, or you have hearing damage cus that's what happens, then 300ft easy. And these kinda drones are capable of flying a few thousand feet up.
Man I still don't like touchscreen controls for anything. I think any military would prefer the physical controls. Trackball could work.
High tech low life
>they have the second part down
Good idea
don't they use touchscreens in space because its far simpler, lighter and less prone to failure?

Further swarm-kamikaze drones from another Turkish company is announced
So each is rigged with a grenade, flies close to an enemy and just explodes on it? Sounds spooky as fuck, imagine having to face that.

Unmanned M113
>turkey's putting drones in everything
They might build the first robot battalion if this continues.
Turks have always had an obsession with robots, they even built a transformer once.
>guarantee you this is only impressive to hadjis.
Not really. This is next level shit. This thing can be placed in ambush and just sit there silent and deadly no matter the weather while the operator is in a comfy ez chair eating Chinese takeout with one eye on a screen and the other on football.
>It's a high-tech multimillion dollar invention for cutting down ambient light to view an lcd screen.
>What is a poncho.
If you are ever in a unit that takes any kind of fire, even inaccurate fire, from an unknown source, you'll understand how a cheap remote gun like this one can totally fuck up your objective.
They didn't solve shit because what they made costs ungodly amounts of money to do what some fucking Turks are doing for 2k. This is a game changer at that price.
It's sort of weird that it's the Turks coming out with this.
