@shaunmmaguire Drones are the future of warfare. Manned aircraft are not.

@shaunmmaguire it’s so crazy that this is all running off 10 year old open source software from a company that couldn’t stay in business producing drones wild how it comes full circle

@WillManidis @shaunmmaguire I’ve seen some of the mods that various militaries around the world have been making to the software and hardware for their own use cases. It’s even more full circle than you’d imagine.

@shaunmmaguire the cheapest counter drone platform seems to be <$1 for a bullet per drone, aka @StevenSimoni and @allencontrol

@shaunmmaguire i believe this is the first ever direct attack on any nation's nuclear triad in history, and it succeeded.

@shaunmmaguire Trying to think through the implications of this. Asymmetric/ irregular warfare just became way more viable. Traditional organized militaries are toast.

@shaunmmaguire Ardupilot is used by over one million drone, UAV builders. I’ve been using it for my VTOLs. Rock solid. Never had a case where a firmware bug was the root cause of a flight failure. Always either my HW/parameter configuration or pilot error https://t.co/3lMwWVliny
