Soren Monroe-Anderson (Soren Monroe-Anderson) explains why Neros' drones win: "Our airframes right now are mostly made out of carbon plates. Carbon is really light and really strong. But it doesn't have some of the advantages of what they were doing with those metal bodies which is that you get to use it as a heat sink." "We actually do this on our drone now where the bottom plate is an aluminum plate, and we contact the motherboard and the radios with thermal interface material when we close out the drone with that bottom plate, and so that acts as a big heat sink." "It's just a flat plate that is cut into a shape in 2D versus having to be cast or CNC'd, which is just a lot cheaper for mass manufacturing."

China's drone manufacturing capability "I think today China's easily at 100 million drones a year. I mean, they're supplying most of the components to Ukraine and Russia and both sides are gonna use about 7 million FPV's this year. America is in the hundreds of thousands and there is no company that will domestically build 100,000 drones this year. Neros is trying to get close. We'll be over 100,000 run rate by the end of the year. We have to have production capacity in the millions, tens of millions for credible deterrence, but we also want to solve the problems smarter."

The newest version of Neros' Bandit interceptor drone can fly 300 kilometers per hour: "300 is a pretty good spot for taking out typical Shahed drones." "To go after jet-powered Shahed drones, we need to be closer to 400 km/h, so that would be the ideal end state." — Neros Technologies CEO Soren Monroe-Anderson (Soren Monroe-Anderson)

Under Secretary Emil Michael (Under Secretary of War Emil Michael) explains how the Trump Administration is scaling drone technology in the United States: "We haven't been at it this long, only this administration [has taken] it seriously in the last year and a half. And what we've done is we've begun to stimulate the domestic production of the components and the all-up systems for these drone manufacturers... and we're doing that across the domestic supply chain to make sure that they're building drones here."

we created a new kind of drone to shoot down Russian spies. in two months, more than 100 scouts were shot down by such drones. in the video you can see how it happens. But our goal is to clear the sky of enemy drones so that it will be difficult for them to direct missiles at civilian and military objects, and that is why we are launching the production of thousands of such drones. you can join our cause and for a donation of $700 you will receive a personal drone with a name. we will also be grateful for any help or distribution of this message 💲 donate@svoboda-ukrainy.com After you make a contribution of $700, write everything for the drone to our mail: hornetswild@gmail.com

Betting on domestic drone production is the smarter long term strategy. Uniccon says it has the capacity to manufacture up to 3,000 FPV drones per month. Nigeria recently awarded a $200 million contract, through intermediary NIGUS, to a Turkish firm for 100,000 FPV kamikaze drones. There is little clarity on the delivery timeline or procurement mechanism. With just a fraction of that funding, thousands of FPV Kamikaze drones could be sourced from Nigerian manufacturers and rapidly deployed to the front.

[Q]: Are Ukrainian drones something that you would be interested in? President Trump: We are, yeah. We have a lot of drones right now. We build our own drones, but we also buy drones from others. And they [Ukraine] make very good drones. Drone warfare has really come to the fore over the last couple of years because of this [Russia-Ukraine] war.

NEW: Alejandro Mayorkas says there is nothing they can do about the NJ drones because they don't have the "authority" and suggests people are just mistaking them for drones bought at "convenience stores." Biggest clown in America. Mayorkas says people might simply be mistaking the drones for planes or convenience store drones. The Secretary of Homeland Security says he is confident the drones are not threats before suggesting Americans were crazy for thinking they could be. "We can't just sh**t a drone out of the sky." "They're very, well, maybe drones in the sky, of course, but those are commercially available. One can go into a convenience store and buy a small drone."

Neros CEO Soren Monroe-Anderson calls out companies who left Ukraine after finding out their products didn't work: "There's very few defense tech startups that have a meaningful amount of equipment deployed in Ukraine." "A lot of companies unfortunately would rather develop on a test range in California and then just put their head in the sand when the thing doesn't work in the battlefield." "It's a clear trend I've observed." "A lot of companies tried to go over or had stuff sent over, and then the first time around it didn't work, and instead of persisting and saying, 'We're gonna fix the stuff that didn't work and try again and try again,' just ended up walking away."

Arteta: “We know what is at stake and the fact that, as a club, we haven't done it for so long is a reason for that. It talks about the difficulty but I just want to focus on the things that we can control, dominate, and we have done. “It's not that we have to do a lot of new things that we haven't done. No, no, no, let's keep doing a lot of it or almost all the things that we've done for nine months, because that's what has taken us all the way there. “On Wednesday, I saw a lot of them. And today we've gone back so we need to learn, we need to be very critical of ourselves, and then pick ourselves up because on Wednesday we have a big one coming up.”

Zack Snyder discusses virtual production technology with the Russo Bros. and explains why he chose to build practical sets for Rebel Moon: "The idea of this sort of virtual production that's really interesting is that it does come back around. The green screen environment is an exclusive world, right? "Like there's not a lot of guys that can make a movie with no sets. Because as it is now, there's a thousand visual effects artists between that green screen and it being in your movie. "In the virtual production version, anybody who walks in there with a camera... The desert is there. And they can go and film it. So in a lot of ways it's kind of... it demystifies visual effects a little bit. "The thing that I've always found a little off-putting about a big green screen environment is it's not really engaging for anybody. Even for us, even for the filmmakers. We've been looking at the concept, we know what it is. "And the actors especially are like, 'I don't know where the hell I am.' Like, 'I guess... Okay, whatever you guys say, I'll do it.'" Anthony Russo: "But for camera operators too, right? It's just like there's nothing to grab on to." Snyder: "Yeah, I don't know, tilt up to the mountain. What mountain?" Joe Russo: "No, no, it's a little higher." Snyder: "Yeah, exactly. I think it's a small mountain. "Anyway, but I do think that the introduction of this kind of virtual productions as a concept really brings sort of physicality back to visual effects. And sort of a fantastic world. "You really can, you know, you can feel it and see it. They can put Atmos in, it can really feel like you're in a place. Which is really just... You're more passionate about it, you know, filming it. "Like I did a small thing that we were just really more of an experiment. And I was really fascinated by like, you know, they're like, 'Okay, here's, we have a cave set with light shafts coming through these holes in the ceiling.' And then we were like, literally, you know, 'Okay, now we're in like this forest.' "And it was the same rocks, but suddenly they didn't look like- they worked in both spots. It was just, I was like, 'Wow, this is really...' And even the focus and everything, the wall understood the depth of field as well. "So like everything, like especially in the eyepiece was like, 'Wow, that's scary.' That's like, feels like I'm there. So I think there's huge potential and hugely exciting future for that technology. "You know, as it becomes more available to like, and also scale, I think, you know, from this to like also being able to have, you know, 100 guys standing around inside of, you know, a giant environment would be just, it's just cool. Which they're doing now anyway, everyone's doing it. "But what was funny, because like on the movie that we're working on now, we ended up, we took a deep dive into it. And it just, the reason why we ended up not doing it in the end was because we just, we have these big war scenes. "And I had like 100 guys, you know, and we were just like, I don't even like, the amount of French reverses I have to do, everyone's brains were exploding. "Because, you know, you're always like, I'm like, 'Oh, just flip the set again and flip the set again.' And then for his reverse, we flipped the set that way and we flipped the set that way. "And so we had to build all the, all in the design, everything was symmetrical, right? Like the bridges and the houses were kind of symmetrical. "So you could always be flipping and not tell... because the sets were all symmetrical. You could shoot them from both sides and it was kind of the same. But the audience couldn't tell because the backgrounds were not symmetrical. "So it was only the immediate stuff, you know. It was, so it was a bit of a brain teaser for everyone. And then in the end, we were like, because of the scale of the fighting, I was like, 'Oh, let's just...' "So now we're just building it up the road. "But it's cool. "It's fun to build a giant thing as well. Just to go there and like, 'Oh my God, we made a village.'

We won't fight the way Ukraine fights. I hear that regularly. And I can say that I agree with that common statement. At least I can understand that when the American army states that. But when I see something like that from Eastern European countries (or the Baltics), I become speechless. The fact is that I am not sure that any country will fight the way they want to. Because it's not a wargame - it's a war, and your enemy is also fighting and not surrendering because you are a fan of "fire and maneuver". I would just like to show my Europeans followers the next fact about just one Russian motorised division (of course not all of them have the same capabilities. Some of them even more. But it has already happened. That’s not a plan till 2030): - 159 FPV crews of radio; - 12 FPV crews of fibre optics; - 39 FPV crews of fixed-wing; - 3 crews of Zala-Lancet RSK; - 70 crews of fixed-wing ISR drones (approximately 180-200 drones like Orlan-10, Zala, SuperCam, KVO) And that's all together with tanks, artillery, assault companies, etc. Apart from that, every division will be supported by CAA's UAS regiment and UAS brigade that works under the Military District Command (Geran-Gerbera drones, BM-35/37 drones, fibre drone optics with a 50 km range). You won't fight the way Ukraine fights. But will you fight the way you want to? UA UGV that covers logistics destroys a Russian fibre drone optics FPV drone.

Why cold 🥑 does not like the term "woke 2.0": "Woke has all this intrinsic baggage. Maybe they'll adopt it, but it'll be in a joking way, which I guess is what woke 2.0 is purports to be. Woke 2.0, kind of like the original woke is used both by its proponents and by its critics." "A lot of like what the right is doing now is a lot of that same policing... a lot of like similar language policing." "I think it's just sort of a trait in some ways. Not even of woke, but just of the internet when it's in power. Like that's just kind of how it works."
