So from all the Jersey drone reports, looks like the US is pretty much confirmed to be showing off/doing drills with a new submarine stealth drone platform. I'm sure I'm behind the times since I don't go on the farms, but apparently there have been several people who have spotted them coming out of the ocean in large batches now. It was only a matter of time, people have been talking about the possibility of drone subs for years at this point and there have been forays into sub-deployed underwater drones for years now.

The interesting thing to me is that IIRC the new class of US military submarine won't be constructed, much less in service, until the 2030s. I wonder if the US has managed to build full size subs in secret, if they've made drone subs that are completely autonomous and therefore small enough to build without people noticing, or if they've managed to retrofit older subs to deploy them/design the drones to work out of torpedo tubes or something. If they managed to figure out an easy way to get water-to-air stealth drones to deploy out of old subs that's an even bigger deal than a fully modern drone sub would be. Means their deployment would only be limited by drone production, not sub production, and that any US ally could have them (the Australia sub deal comes to mind, for various reasons).

Weird shit. Hopefully we have a little while before the Chinese manage to steal the blueprints.

It's crazy that I'm getting US military tech news off a site dedicated to people larping as online anime characters.

Kantai Collection has been out for a decade now, the overlap shouldn't be that much of a surprise :smugpipi:

Future wars will have anime mascots representing divisions, recruiters will be cute mid-20s anime girl avatars instead of soulless mid-40s lieutenants, every jet plane will look like an itasha, and war-time propaganda will look like a particularly bizarre episode of Hetalia. We're all fucked.



In all seriousness: I'm extrapolating, but I feel like it's meant to be fairly obvious for people who can read between the lines.

What's happened so far that I've personally seen news about without going out of my way to look anything up:



The FBI is on record saying that the Jersey drones aren't foreign and don't pose a threat to Americans, but somehow they also don't know anything about them :mitothink:;

No other federal agencies or the military (other than the Coast Guard) have gotten particularly involved, despite the fact that normally the FAA should be freaking the fuck out about drones flying around airports;

A Chinese guy tried flying a drone near a military base while this was going on and was immediately arrested, so if they WANT to find someone they obviously can (or it was a gay-op to convince Americans that we don't have anything to worry about when it comes to foreign drones :cursedbae:;

The drones don't have traditional heat signatures that can be tracked and have completely outpaced every local consumer/industrial grade drone that tried to follow them;

With that said, for some reason whoever is controlling these stealth capable drones leaves the flight lights on so pilots and other drones don't crash into them, which is why we have so many photos of them and have noticed them in the first place;

Multiple reports from local police, civilians, and Coast Guard members that large groups of drones have been spotted coming out of and going back into the water, with one officer seeing a group of 50 or more coming out of the water and the Coast Guard seeing several of them going back underwater after showing up to investigate. No one has seen one of these drones land on solid ground yet.



So yeah. Stealth capable drones, military grade, obviously submarine deployed and water/air capable, flown around in a very public and obvious manner without actually declassifying anything or giving any hard details, but the Feds are confident that it's not a threat or foreign.

Seems like a public display of military capability to me.

We've been putting girls with nice tits on airplane and tanks since WWII.

Looking forward to drawing a Phase Connect Girl with nice tits on whatever vehicle I'm in when we're all drafted for WWIII.

I have a confession to make: I am Transphobic.

I am afraid of troons because if they try to invade my space I might curb stomp them on the sidewalk accidentally.
:annoyedpippa::annoyedpippa::annoyedpippa:
I'm not afraid of trans people, but then, I'm not a woman or a girl who's alone in a bathroom with one.

The whole "<insert group here>phobic" bullshit is so disingenuous. Phobia implies an irrational fear of. There's nothing irrational of not wanting troons around when they're legitimately insane and they WOULD be declared insane if they hadn't completely hijacked psychology and changed the DSM so their insanity was no longer considered mentally ill. Can't even seriously consider bringing up asylums as a solution anymore because they're in charge of the field of psychology now and they would absolutely try to institutionalize normal people for homophobia and transphobia.
