the point of the Top Gun remake was to emphasize that they needed jets and hot shot pilots for the next war.
But the Drone revolution in the Ukraine (where nerds are taking drones and militarizing them) has sort of been ignored because drones won't make a lot of money.
Several recent movies about drone strikes and the recent drones flying over New Jersey has put these low price things back into the news.
there are several shorter versions of this discussion on youtube
but the full interview for later watching: AI and Drone are the future of warfare.
StrategyPage article on drone warfare in the Ukraine.
In the three year old Ukraine War, the unexpected development was the emergence of cheap, armed drones as a decisive weapon that replaced most air and artillery support while also causing over 90 percent of the casualties...Most FPV drones carry half a kilogram of explosives, so it can instantly turn the drone into a flying bomb that can fly into a target and detonate. This is an awesome and debilitating weapon when used in large numbers over the combat zone. ...Larger, fixed wing drones are used for long range operations against targets over a thousand kilometers inside Russia.
Read the whole thing for an easy to read summary.they also have an article on the use of AI in times of war and peace (hacking banks and businesses for fun and profit)
the article on drones points out that one of the bottlenecks in using drones is that you have to train someone to direct them.
BusinessInsider has a discussion if gamers might be the hidden resource for this new technology.
Hmm... sort of like WWII when Yanks had an advantage because most of the guys already knew how to drive a car/truck/jeep.
So could Filipino gamers learn to use them if China decides to take back more Philippine territory or even take over Luzon?
China is already using underwater military drones in the West Philippine sea....
don't ask me. I'm a doctor, not a teenage nerd.

February 13, 2025: China has reportedly developed a drone that can operate under water, on the surface and in the air. Propulsion is via a propeller in the rear of the drone. The Chinese drone uses wings that can automatically fold into the drone body when not needed. The drone operations control system incorporates a lot of Artificial Intelligence, or AI technology, and this drone technology can be adapted for use in other weapons like torpedoes, guided bombs, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.
