I'm surprised they don't just use racing drones with bombs firmly attached. A high quality FPV racing drone costs less than $1000. Strap a high explosive to it, fly it straight into your target, flip the switch, bam 100% accuracy. $1000 is a small price in military terms, and a well trained drone pilot can land one of those suckers on top of a car going down the highway at 60mph with very little chance of failure.

Friendly reminder to never use a laser, especially a bright green laser like that, without goggles. That color green isn't made by a laser diode, it's made by splitting higher frequency, which means that it's hurting your eyes at two different wavelengths lol. Even with goggles that filter out visible light wavelengths, leakage of those higher frequency wavelengths past the splitter can cause permanent damage (faster than you can even blink in the case of many cheap ebay lasers).

If he did a 1 hour video only bombarding targets with his drone, I would probably constantly watch it until I die.

[@OryXity]

Military drones generally drop their payload in an arc (drop it while moving forward) which helps accuracy if dropped at the correct time, the horizontal movement reduces vertical drag and thus vertical deviation Basically, payload dropping down wiggles about as it falls and changes direction based on where the tip is pointing at any given time, if it is dropped at speed at an angle then the tip starts out facing forwards then the weight pulls the tip down slowly until it is fully pointing down, like trying to land a glider/plane rather than divebombing it straight into the ground

@@F5cThunder I looked it up and it seems it depends on where you live. In some US States it’s even legal to make a full ballistic missile (without the warhead obviously). In other even the guided darts would be problematic. Most likely nobody would actually come after you for them, as long as you stay on private property. But I’d look up local laws before doing anything of this kind. I live in Germany and I’ve flown a guided model missile with a small payload (on private property with explicit permission from the owner) and nobody has come after me for that.

Ive added a simple FC and fins that rotate to my darts, with a fromt facing wireless camera (the one that runs on 9v batterys and cost now $5) and when the drone drops the dart, i swap my controller to "Profile 2" , which puts the drone into auto-hover, and switches to controlling the dart. My fpv goggles switch to what is infront of the dart and within reason i can "guide" the dart to a "target" ive painted on the ground. The next step im experimenting with is getting both my drone and the dart to use a green laser dot as a point to concentrate on and move to, kind of like in the movies/real life. At night it does ok but in the day time im having trouble staying on target. I use the word "guide" instead of fly because at the speeds the dart drops at, you cant really control it like an rc glider. Although I could explore that, maybe with adding larger "wings" to the dart for " lift' while using the smaller back fins for directional control...

Fun fact: Dji, the drone maker, has military contracts for the chinese government. They are also backed by chinese state enterprises, which allowed them to undercut the competition and become the dominant company in the drone space. Buying consumer drones from them is basically subsidizing the development of military flight systems, etc. These military contracts also explain why a relatively small hobby company (as many people see them) needs and is able to afford 2 huge skyscrapers as headquarters. Their track record with data privacy from the data it collects from consumer products is also not great, since obviously that data is harvested and sent to china to help train their algorithms and AI systems. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has also been great for them, both in terms of sales from both sides and data collected from an active conflict. If China ever invades Taiwan we can expect thousands of dji drones to be involved. Dji is also in sanction lists due to its involvement in the Uyghur genocide and is considered by the US as a chinese military company.

By the way, the way most bombers keep their bombing accurate is by introducing forward momentum, but thats extremely complex. A computer would, however, be able to calculate the area that it *should* hit via equations, but even then, that's a lot of work, and this did pretty good regardless. There's a reason most drones aren't quad rotors. But fixed wings instead. (Mine defusal drones are four rotor, but they use explosives instead of a kinetic projectile.)

[@Ididathing]

That sounds like it would be impossible on quad copters

Just an FYI. When soldering small parts apply a bit of solder to the iron itself. Makes a bead on the end. Then just tap the bead to what your soldering and it just drips on. Instead of holding it all to the prong itself. Great vids tho. Love what you do

[@anonaustria9867]

If you want good solder points, you apply a little bit of solder to the tip (just a thin "coat" for the heat transfer), heat up the pad and melt the solder on the pad, not on the tip. Otherwise, your flux will be gone most times, creating ugly and potentially cold solders

[@cynicalsmoker911]

@@anonaustria9867 i like that for switches and large cards. But if your doing micro mini its easy to burn a processor or smaller chips. If you do the bead on the end and touch it to the prong, it shouldn't transfer until it hits temp. And you won't add the solder to to the tip till its at max temp. Shouldn't be on it long enough to burn. Im def not saying your way doesn't work. Or that yours isn't a prettier joint. Just saying what worked well for me. Its also helpful if you have very shaky hands like me.

[@MatthewSmith-sz1yq]

So, some extra context behind the US's "rods from God" concept: At the time, and to this day, there has been an international treaty meant to keep space "demilitarized," by banning things like nuclear weapons from being placed in orbit. However, one thing the treaty did not ban is kinetic weapons. This was because, at the time the treaty was signed, this wasn't even thought of as a possibility. After the treaty was signed, however, to anyone who wanted weapons in space, it became the only possibility. Both sides during the cold war did look into these kinds of weapons, since it would be a "loophole" that would allow them to place WMDs in orbit without violating the treaty. Thankfully, while they could find loopholes in the laws of man, they could not find one in the laws of physics. In order to drop a massive, heavy projectile on your enemy from orbit, you first must get it into orbit, a task that would make the Apollo missions look like a model rocket project. This, along with the development of better anti-satellite weapons, made such a project unfeasible. There has been renewed interest lately, however. Humanity is likely a few decades away from beginning mining in space, and if you build your projectiles in orbit, you circumvent the whole "how do I get this massive lawndart off the ground" issue. This, along with better stealth technology and anti-satellite weapon countermeasures, could make this kind of weapon viable, as a treaty-friendly orbital weapon of mass destruction.

[@Miley_00]

Ah yes nobody has weapons in space.... LoL!!! They are looking into it?

And then they lose control of the thing and it drops from orbit.

I agree with your description of soldering. I hate the fact that the slightest twitch in my hand can bump the end of the iron wide enough to move or dislodge whatever tiny component I'm trying to solder. I honestly wish I could buy a small robotic arm with a soldering tip on it that moved very slowly and smoothly, and just control it with a joystick.
