So master delft, Chinese drones are fascinating, but US drones are stinky???

I am not against using drones for gathering intelligence, I AM MORALLY OPPOSED to sending a nameless, faceless, Heartless machine to do your killing. Life is precious, and with the advent and promise of UCAVs??? well you get my drift??? I would say "collateral injuries, deaths, and misidentification are a growing danger, and that people like Barack Hussein Obama use these killing machines to "insulate" themselves from responsibility!

depends on what you mean by drones doing the killing. if the order to fire is still from a human operator going up the chain of command like SOP than it's one thing but if it's AI that determines the launch then yes I too am morally oppose to it.

That day has not come yet (due to tech limitations) but I'm afraid it will in the forseeable future when the launch order is autonomously calculated via an AI through a complex set of algorithms based on coding and variables.

The way our MIC is set up, all it needs is enough lobbyists to pressure congress to approve once some future beancounter/CEO type can showed on Powerpoint how his company's A.I is 'safer/more efficient' than humans in the decision making process.

There seems to be some buzz on the Chinese boards that the J-31 2.0 might fly around the end of the month.

I sure hope so Mace, I have really missed seeing this brave little bird since last fall at the airshow, it would be awesome to see the -2 export version up and doing a few more advanced aerobatics. after the test flights of course, I think its just a neat bird, and I claim to the J-31 prototype, as I was one it first fans!

Weird how we never actually got a photo of the v2.0 when it was taxiing, security must've been tightened significantly.
It was always more difficult to get a photo of J-31 than J-20 due to the location. Now we haven't seen any new photos of J-20 since #2101, it is very understandable we see 0 from J-31.
