Drone aircraft have already proven to be a valuable resource in ground combat operations; but thus far, drones have yet to make a significant splash in other facets of warfare. The Navy has been working on changing that, however, with their 132-foot submarine-hunting drone ship, the Sea Hunter, leading the way. Sea Hunter has already […]

China’s new armed quad-copter drones are being built specifically to engage hostile targets from ground level in urban combat environments — even engaging targets through windows — as a means of support for ground troops in the fight. This shift toward airborne drones for infantry support could mean that China’s “ground” drones could reach the […]

Contrary to what you’ll see in most action movies, bullets don’t actually travel through water very effectively at all. When a round impacts the water, it very literally impacts, often breaking apart or tumbling off of its trajectory because of the water’s density. As we’ve covered here at SOFREP before, it doesn’t take much water […]
