60% price increase cancel my order - 727Sky - 07-23-2025
Good for South Korea ! Now that everyone is jumping on the drone band wagon the next great invention will be how to remove all drones in one's A.O.
Quote:The $2.2 billion deal to purchase 36 new AH-64E Apache helicopters? Cancelled. Gone. Just like that. Why would a country under constant military threat suddenly abandon one of the most feared attack helicopters in the world? What do they know that others don't? From loitering munitions to electronic warfare, radar evolution, and AI-powered smart weapons — we uncover the terrifying truth behind this canceled order. Is this the end of the attack helicopter era? Don't miss this deep dive into a decision that could reshape modern warfare.

Agree the battlefield has changed a lot with drones .
They allready have autonomous drone fighter jet if i remember right ? Maybe apache needs also something similar , a autonomous heli or drone with only mission to protect the manned apache , all working with AI ....like 10 autonomes drones to 1 apache .
Israelis might also create laser that can be mounted to apache or large drone that would shoot incoming threats ?
The price increase is insane to me , even for apache .

I can forsee a not too distant future in which these "killer drones" are hunted and neutralized with "hunter drones", perhaps equipped with EMP weapons to sterilize an AO of "killer drones" via suicide missions in which the hunter drones sacrifice themselves in order to kill the killer drones with EMP to fry their electronics.
Are we looking at a future where warfare becomes automated, robots hunting and killing robots without any human involvement on the ground or in the air? What does warfare become when there is no longer any danger to humans, which has traditionally been the dis-incentive against war?

As I often say, "war" is now becoming a game of who can break more of the other guy's stuff, more so than it is about killing the other guy's soldiers. Of all the trends in warfare, this particular development doesn't really seem to have a down side.
In the end, people will realize war is more a game of $$$ than it is about killing. And when this happens, then maybe war can be eliminated altogether and it becomes two opponents simply comparing checkbook balances right up front and saving everyone the grief, bloodshed and heartbreak.
