Breaking Down Russia’s Vacuum Bomb, the U.S.'s M10 Booker and More | WSJ Equipped

Watch the latest episode of equipped on the six-bladed “knife-bomb” that is revolutionizing precision warfare: on.wsj.com/4bROkrh

I love watching videos on the rich people's network showing me where my tax dollars go and what they do with the money they consistently inflate out of my meager savings via deficit spending (a not so hidden tax). At least WSJ is honest - war is about money and they cover money stories so it's very appropriate they are the leaders in this reporting genre 💰

$2M for a 15' drone? Is a hammer still costibg the US Taxpayer $2000?.

Surprise, surprise, even WSJ falls for BS regarding a "Ninja Bomb", more than likely based not on rational and vetted facts but instead on rumors that originated with "video game warriors.". The actual weapon is a very small TBX warhead placed inside a mostly empty, AGM-114 ("hellfire") type air-frame. The missile was modified specifically to lower the cost of the original AGM-114 (which was meant to be used against tanks and heavily armored targets) while also significantly reducing "collateral damage", when used for "targeted individual personnel" (i.e. targeted assassination). due to the much lighter warhead, the missile's center of gravity as well as center of dynamic stability changed, requiring an aerodynamic stabilization solution, in the form of the six expandable knife-like wings protruding from the missile body frontal section. The "Ninja Myth" is nothing but stupid conjecture information proliferated on the Internet by substandard "drone journalists"...

Every government contract for planes or Missiles ...Go with the original budget and multiple it by 2.5 times ..... That will be the true budget

I'm suprised I haven't seen a drone shaped like a shark with movable fins.

I am a drone pilot and retired chef, if you can get me out there, I'll do what's needed.

That is the longest advertisement I have ever watched...

$2~$3m per small remotely boat? No wonder how easy it is to steal the bank this day.

very well done

How about self destruction abilities so the enemy doesn't have our technology?

a limerick. A stealthy boat called the Triton Could sail and submerge like Poseidon. Though cheap to attrit, Its sensors were lit, Giving intel that sailors would write on.

The Triton submersible drone should have a self-destruct feature if captured. Why risk one falling into the hands of the enemy?

So, Booker tank is the newer kind of Sherman tank?

My grandma used to live by a missile testing sight in Marin California. She said she could see them testing the rockets right above the ground and putting them back.

The Booker looking like drone catnip, lol.

It's interesting, but there is so much sales language in here that I expect the script was modified and approved by marketing from the companies. There is a lot of...not technically wrong, but objectove/misleading stuff...good, but...too much corporate sales language

This is just what they want you to see. Wonder how far classified technology has gone nowadays

All of these combatants will become exhausted to the point of just fading

The fact that we now consider multi million dollar kit "attritable" is an insult to humanity!
