In fact, in some previous media reports, we have seen it more or less. This pocket helicopter is not a toy. Although it is only 18 cm long, it is a practical military unmanned aircraft. machine. This drone weighs only 500 grams, which is equivalent to an apple. Because of its light weight and small size, when flying in the air, you will not find its traces without careful observation. Someone may ask again, what is the use of such a small pocket helicopter on the battlefield? With a weight of 1.4 kg, there is definitely no condition to carry weapons. What does a helicopter that cannot launch an attack mean?
Here I can tell you clearly that the main purpose of this pocket helicopter is very clear, that is, for battlefield reconnaissance. Modern warfare is far from the era of human tactics. With many advanced missiles and drones, it can control the enemy thousands of miles away. The two sides are competing for the advanced level of weapons, even if the soldiers fight with one enemy ten. Ability is useless. However, in the most fierce city combat, a meat grinder-like battle is still required. In the complex situation of street fighting, it is difficult to figure out the exact position of the enemy, so every step forward will still pay a higher price. And this kind of pocket helicopter is a reconnaissance weapon developed to solve the lack of intelligence in close combat.
It is reported that this pocket drone is equipped with a variety of advanced detection equipment, such as gas sensors, cameras, thermal sensors, infrared cameras, etc., which can perform detection on targets within the enemy’s intelligence flight range under extremely secretive conditions. Reconnaissance, thereby minimizing soldier casualties. Of course, the cost of such a weapon is also quite expensive. It is said that the current price of a pocket drone is $1.35 million. Although it looks expensive, it can save many soldiers' lives on the battlefield. In addition to street fighting, it is also a weapon for counter snipers. As the range of sniper rifles is getting farther and farther, how to deal with potential threats on the battlefield has become a major problem for snipers.
But with this kind of pocket drone, no matter how the sniper is camouflaged, the thermal sensors and other detection equipment equipped on the pocket helicopter can locate the sniper and guide the troops to attack the sniper. It is not an exaggeration to say that this portable UAV has become the nemesis of the battlefield counter-sniper. Whether it is a thermal sensor or an infrared sensor, they can detect the enemy hidden in the building. The pocket helicopter can also shorten the detection range and accurately scan every inch of the battlefield without giving snipers any living space.
