Everything having a sensor will always be hackable. Just the nature of things. Ugh... so much war... just look at the earth in relation to our universe and you just scratch your head. I wish everyone had a more zoomed out lens.

so the future of warfare is drone fighting with limited human involvement and casualties? sign me up. flying a drone from my living room fighting other drone pilots who are also in their living rooms is actually my dream job. battle bots 3.0

[@billf1748]

[@Gbizz]

Haha true that. As long as he helps those that are on the battlefield, none of that matters.

[@sc3c]

The "point" you're trying to make is 100% irrelevant.
