In the Middle East and on the battlefield in Ukraine, drones are buzzing like mosquitoes, upsetting the Israeli and Ukrainian brothers. No, the US arms dealers couldn't sit still and began to tinker with the antique "Hydra" 70mm rocket, intending to make it glow with a second spring and turn it into an "aerial city management" for drones.
What's going on? It is to add an infrared eye to the head of this old gun, staring at those small winged drones, and arrange it clearly 2 kilometers away. But it's not that simple, if you want to be accurate, you have to be a millimeter-wave high-end product, but that thing is so expensive that your liver hurts; It's cheaper to use infrared, but on rainy days it's a bit confusing. The U.S. military is worrying at this time, just like we usually buy vegetables, good goods are not cheap, and cheap ones are afraid that they will not be good.
In addition, the US military also wants this "hydra" to do some ground work part-time, and the air defense is on the ground. The problem is that flying in the sky and climbing on the ground are two different things, and if you don't do it, it will become "four dislikes". The engineers are now playing acrobatics, and it is difficult to make this rocket not only somersault in the air, but also stable on the ground!
Speaking of which, the old brother of "Hydra" is also a changeable star, and he can deal with all kinds of enemies with different warheads, armored vehicles, infantry, and now even drones. It is simply a "transformer" on the battlefield, you can use it however you want, and the US military is going to engrave the words "flexible and multi-use" into its DNA!
Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this trick? Do you think that the U.S. military is playing quite slippery this time and can bring a new atmosphere to the battlefield, or are you worried that this is another high-tech toy thrown out of money, and the actual operation is another matter? Come and tell me in the comment area about your high opinion, whether this "Hydra" is the future star of the battlefield, or a black hole that burns money!
