These drones are not made for modelling or fashion shows OR for Selfies Sessions
- _ - as long as it does its work perfectly, who cares about the looks ??

China is set to sell autonomous robot-military technology capable of lethal targeted strikes to Middle Eastern regimes, according to United States Secretary of Defense Mark Esper. Concerns over the use of these weapons are being raised by the Pentagon. China exporting self-regulated lethal drones to the Middle East, a region already ravaged by decades of war, risks intensifying the bloodshed.
The Centre for New American security said in a report that the Chinese company Ziyan is negotiating to sell Blowfish A2, a killer robot capable of 60 millimeter mortar shells or a 35-40 millimeter grenade launcher, to the governments of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
In addition, China is now marketing Blowfish A3: a helicopter drone with multiple machine guns incorporated to perform combat missions with targeted precision strikes, fixed locations and time detections. China’s state-owned newspaper, The Global Times, has described the creation of the new ‘killer robot’, Blowfish A3, as “a different aerodynamic design allowing the gun to shoot at more angles mid-flight”.

“It is worrying that China may be exporting military equipment to states known to use such equipment to commit serious human rights violations,” William Nee, an analyst at Amnesty International focused on China, told Al Bawaba on China’s alleged plan to export these weapons to the Middle East.
The Pentagon says China has no ethical guidelines on the use of these weapons. This means Chinese AI in military technology could be used for political ends. “All signs point to the construction of a 21st-century surveillance state designed to censor speech and deny basic human rights on an unprecedented scale. Look no further than its use of surveillance to systematically repress more than a million Muslim Uighurs,” Esper said in a speech in the beginning of November. To differentiate itself from China’s lack of ethical safeguards, the US Defense Innovation Board claims it has laid out a set of principles for the use of AI in the U.S. military.
China is also the second largest market in the world for investments from multinational corporations, leading many of these foreign companies to be directly or indirectly involved in financing these ‘killer robots’. “It is equally troubling that outside firms or multinational corporations are inadvertently or tacitly providing the technology or research behind China’s unethical use of AI,” Esper added.
The news comes after UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged artificial intelligence experts to restrict the development of lethal autonomous weapons systems, also known as LAWS, in March this year. The UN chief said: “Machines with the power and discretion to take lives without human involvement are politically unacceptable, morally repugnant and should be prohibited by international law”.
“Amnesty International has been calling on states to take concrete steps to halt the spread of dangerous weapons like AI-powered drones with automatic capacities or killer robots. China should be working to find solutions to stop the development of such systems and should not be exporting them,” Nee told Al Bawaba.

China should be working to find solutions to stop the development of such systems and should not be exporting them,” Nee told Al-Bawaba News.
China is leading in the development of LAWS. The weapons can identify, target and kill any person without human discretion to authorize the final decision of using lethal force. Whether such technology can be harnessed and regulated is yet to be seen.
Just a year ago, the senior executive at NORINCO, China’s third-largest defense company, Zeng Yi, said: “In future battlegrounds, there will be no people fighting.” China believes its technology will lead to wars where no people will have to fight on the battlefield. However, the replacement of humans with machines means no vigilance or prudence will be applied to targets during war and whoever is on the receiving end will be utterly defenseless.
a fully-autonomous lethal weapon system combined with the political and religious turmoil in the Middle East could be a recipe for increased bloodshed in a region that has already lived through decades of wars.
The repercussions of these killer robots being on the market with no ethical safeguards have wider implications concerning what it means to conduct war in the future. “They would be impossible to defend yourself against. Once the shooting starts, every human on the battlefield will be dead,” argues University of NSW Professor of Artificial Intelligence Toby Walsh.

Good news! I'm liking this. I can just imagine loads of drones buzzing around, laden with heavy firepower supporting troops.
The Chinese UAV manufacturer Ziyan introduced its Blowfish A3 — a mini VTOL which military version is under deployment within Emirate forces.
During the MAKS 2019 Air Show, the Chinese UAV manufacturer Ziyan introduced its Blowfish A3: a mini VTOL weighting only 38 kg that can be weaponized. According to the spokesperson of Ziyan, the military version — acquired by the Chinese government for civil security applications — should be starting its deployment within the Emirate forces. The electric-powered VTOL would only require 3 minutes of preparation before the takeoff for a range of 90 minutes. It is also able to carry 15 kg of armament. The originality here is to provide mini-rockets or a magazine of 8 vertical tubes to bomb at a minimum altitude of 300 m of the military objectives with 60 mm shells or 81 mm grenades. The Blowfish A3 should also be capable of carrying automatic weapons without modifications, from machine gun to riot control devices. Above all, Ziyan’s Blowfish A3 is able to operate in a swarm at over 80 km.

Very nice.
US has no right to preach human rights. We all know about western hypocrisy and double standards. Should deploy these drones on LOC as well. Would be a killer.

Man has gotten very good at killing fellow man.
But struggles to uplift his fellow human being from destitution.

We are seriously lacking in research & development. Two areas which Pakistan Military must focus on is Artificial Intelligence and Hypersonic Weapons. These are two crucial areas which Pakistan has to gain mastery over, come what may. The world is headed toward a final show down and it will make WW2 look like kindergarten. It is imperative for Pakistan to pursue A.I and H.W, the same way we did to become a Nuclear Power.

UAVs are just brought down or specifically generalized as UCAV/Surveillance crafts but they have a lot & i mean, a huge future if people take a pen and a paper, try to visualize all the strange ideas they can get of using UAV/UCAVs/Swarms in air combats and then focus on achieving if not 20/20 then at least 19/20 level progress. Future stands in these things. We must focus on rather working on turbojets and powerplants of UAVs, try to think of ideas of launching UAVs from air borne platforms such as C-130 in a/close to combat zone. There are videos trending nowadays of these swarms of UAVs controlled through means of AI, can be applied in many ways to aerial combats as well as they have restrictions mainly in terms of operable altitudes and speed.
Some of the ways, i can brainstorm of how they can be used are (some points could be impossible or sound immature to the science geeks, feel free to correct me IF NECESSARY)
-Incorporate, tiny UAVs on wings/aircraft structure, release them incase you are in a WVR. They can, in numbers, distract jet, compensate for lack of birds at high altitudes
-Work on strong laser tech, capable of causing destruction to cockpits/engines , a small dedicated swarm of such UAVs can create a 360 environment around a bogey, boil it down by using lasers beams just like star wars.
-Incorporate ECM tech on UAV swarms, bit expensive but very effective, release them in mid air, they can distract/jam the incoming missiles
-Instead of mounting WVR/BVR, yea, mount them, they are, were the primary method of combat, but let’s really get out of the box, mount multiple UAVs on HPs through a missile delivery similar to a torpedo whose objective is just delivering to close range to bogey, just like REK, once the delivery is near, they automatically eject the delivery craft, stabilize their flight and focus on kamekaze/Jam/Shoot laser beams.
-Just many many more countless possibilities, nothing is impossible, if german nazi can do exceptional things at WW2 era being human beings, so can you else we as a whole are just a huge pile of shame and sh*t.
It’s all about breaking stereotypes, we have been, during the century, as humans/scientists, following a same pattern of development and upgrading it over and over. How about, let’s say, you completely redesign aerial combat from it’s basics as if jets never existed, what would you think of then as a human living in 2019 ?
USA, out of everyone, is the most forward thinking innovative country when it comes to this all. Sorry to say, not even china, france let alone Russia. Project AZM, must be an all out venture, a crazy science project, to make some really different and cool things, something world has never seen before. For that, you need high vision leaders and scientists with dedication who work as hobby rather job and dha plot. Raise the bar so high that your adversaries can spend half a decade, trying to catch up to you rather you catching up to them in numbers.
Whats your take ? @Mangus Ortus Novem @HRK @aliyusuf @Bilal Khan (Quwa) @Bilal Khan 777 @Signalian @LKJ86@TOPGUN

Yea, if we pursue science as a religion ( not implying the faith & all but using the word to increase importance), we can do countless things be it civil/mil. Gosh, we are soo behind.
