    Not to minimize the horrors of this war, but the big players are learning so much. I can’t imagine what nightmare drones the DOD is working on.

      I can tell you one: Flamethrower drones. Being developed in San Diego, CA. Might never see the light of day, but they built one lol.

        Ukraine already is using “Dragon” drones to dump fire from the sky into treelines. Again, I can’t imagine what’s going on with a US flamethrower drone.

          The US version may ultimately be used to combat wildfires by setting backfires in hard to reach areas. That’s about all I know to be honest.
