This one is a bit different.
Twin main rotor, no tail rotor and rotor blades which apparently detach so theta the pilot/s can eject.
Plus some fairly serious teeth ...

Here's How the MQ-25 Could Save the Aircraft Carrier From Becoming the Next Battleship or Not The Navy
originally planned to procure a total of seventy-two MQ-25As, divided into four drone detachments, with one
assigned to each carrier air wing plus several spares.
A corresponding drone control console would be installed on each carrier, with the USS George H. W. Bush and
the Dwight Eisenhower first in line. However, in October 2017, the Navy announced it would only fund the purchase
of four MQ-25s up front—and then decide whether to procure the remaining sixty-eight.

Russian security service searches space agency over suspected leak of hypersonic missile secrets
Mr Putin announced an array of new nuclear weapons in March.
Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has searched a research facility controlled by the country's space agency Roskosmos over the suspected
leaking of secrets about new hypersonic weapons to Western spies, the TASS news agency reported.
TASS cited the space agency as saying it was cooperating with FSB officers, who were investigating a case of suspected treason.
Russia on Thursday (local time) broadcast a series of videos showing the testing and operation of a new generation of nuclear and conventional
weapons, days after Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump discussed how to avoid an arms race.
President Vladimir Putin boasts of Russia's unstoppable nuclear weapon.
Mr Putin announced an array of new nuclear weapons in March in one of his most bellicose speeches in years, saying they could hit almost any
point in the world and evade a US-built missile shield.

Autonomous suicide drones the latest threat facing soldiers, expert warns
Troops on the battlefield could soon face a new threat — swarms of autonomous kamikaze drones loaded with explosives.
There are claims that "killer drones" were both deployed and defused over recent days in the Middle East.Iran is accused of preparing to launch a squadron of drones, while Israel has been blamed after one exploded in Lebanon's capital.
What are these things?
Pilot-free aircraft have been used in conflict for decades.
Missiles have been launched from the land, sky and sea for even longer.
Now, so-called suicide drones are combining these capabilities.
They can lurk in the skies for hours — waiting for their target to emerge — before dive-bombing at close to 200 kilometres per hour and detonating.

Kalashnikov is presenting new precision UAV weapon system “ZALA LANCET” at the international forum “Army 2019”.
Testing of this UAV system is already completed. “ZALA LANCET” is a smart multipurpose weapon, capable of autonomously finding and hitting a target.
The weapon system consists of precision strike component, reconnaissance, navigation and communications modules. It creates its own navigation field and does not require ground or sea-based infrastructure. “ZALA LANCET” is equipped with several targeting systems: coordinate system, optoelectronic system and combined system.
Also, this UAV can transmit video, which allows to confirm successful target engagement. Detonator of the strike component has a pre-contact action system. Operational range of the UAV is 40 kilometers. Maximum gross takeoff weight is 12 kilograms. “ZALA LANCET” UAV significantly enhances national security of the country and has significant export potential.

Speaking of Kalashnikovs and drones ...
Wait for the smile on the guys face at the end
The Air Force had hoped to begin retiring its 281 A-10s starting in 2015.
But Congress blocked the effort.
Now the A-10 is safe even as the Air Force considers retiring other plane types.
Some Military Jet history ... ignore the headline on the clip
^^ ~3:38: "The J-20 has canards, which are tiny wings in front of the main bigger wings"
^ ALL THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS,(blanked) This will be the next war,> a war of survival, not kinetic. But thanks to Biden now China can invest in the US power supply.

Mighty M60A1 with cute little mine-roller
The M60 series was the US main battle tank through the 60s and 70s and 80s. It did not really feature in Vietnam due to the asymmetric nature of the war, where conventional WWII style tank battles were a rare event.
The M60 was one of the first tanks to be fitted with reactive explosive armour and was last used in combat by the US in Desert Storm in 1989 prior to its retirement in the early 90s and replacement by the M1A1 Abrams.
The M60A1 was an evolution of the famous M48 Patton Main Battle Tank, designed in the aftermath of WWII, and the M60 is sometimes classified as a Patton tank. This is the original M48 Patton.
Still in fairly widespread use with many countries including Egypt, Taiwan and Thailand.

^ too slow, too vulnerable from the air now Loops. Been in Abrhams, AS90 and Challengers, not in anger just exercise play. All loud, all impressive but once your ears stop rininging the only impression you got was thank fook i'm out of it alive. The last place i'd want to be on a battlefield, give me a snatch anyday.
Good topic noob Dave.
The most insane thing I have ever seen is this. Look at the size of it compared to the man standing there. The Belgrod Russian special submarine carries 6 of these topedo's. They are drone torpedos with a nuclear engine.
The Russian Navy's Poseidon Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedo will run much deeper and faster than submarines. Therefore new weapon systems will be required to counter it.

This is the submarine that will carry 6 of the intercontinental nuclear powered torpedo's. It also carries its own midget submarine inside. It also carries a deplorable nuclear power station. And a deep dive rescue capsule.
This thing is seriously mental. But the main reason they are building it is to try and convince the US to get back into arms reduction negotiations. This is a small doc on it

Ruskies have had a lot of issues in recent years with their submarines and torpedoes going catastrophically wrong. And their answer is to go bigger and more complicated. Like an Instagram teenager desperately trying to project an aura of serious coolness when in reality things are falling apart.
