That's nonsense, if you can get a pair of fucking RPGs, I'm sure you can get a drone loicense too. It's what Grumman said. Ages ago saw a video of a V-22 Osprey hover test where it was tethered to the ground, too. Or here's a UH-1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tfnYCG8fGM
Props to the editor knowing the assignment when he picked the music
Seeing this is the path of future drones, it'll make regular engagements like Ukraine too costly if these kinds of drones can be mass produced.
But it'll be incredibly ineffective against unconventional warfare or guerilla actions since if you're attacking from concealment within a city or even military instalation, these things risk too much collateral damage. So regular war between nations gone but civil wars and terrorism are still good to go.
Depends, if it's just like this then it might be stupid, but if this could quickly rise into the air and decend quickly, this could be fantastic ambush drone.
Makes moving armour and even aircraft impossible if you risk these popping up and firing a missile at you.
And then you make drones more advanced to get round it or redeploy them in a smarter way, we've had the same process with EVERYTHING in the military. The best example is heatseeker missiles and flares trying to constantly one up each other.
It might be a few decades but we might end up with those drones from killzone 2/3, the trick is just being able to mass produce them.
Why is it chained up? Are they afraid a nigger is going to steal it?
It's a test. You tether it so that if anything goes wrong during testing, you still have it under control.
Saw some comments saying it's essentially red tape and since it's the UK, that seems very likely.
It's something like they can't legally have it fly around but because it's chained to the ground it's in a loophole.

Please remember this is the UK, the same country who's police included a rusty spoon in a picture of confiscated dangers weapons...

Throw rock with long string attached at drone
Collect wreckage
????
Profit?
*laughs in ChaosGPT*
Looks stupid.
What they need to make small-ish cheap platforms with either a precision gun (also against other drones) or a (recoilless?) grenade launcher.
Also easily deployable swarms of miniature and automated suicide drones.

Yeah for the six months it takes to develop countermeasures

Eventually they'll move on from drones like they moved on from flares to ecm jammers and counter lasers.
