This giant manned robot might patrol the North Korean border

How can US border patrol even compete?
They can't even afford a proper border wall.
Why is USA a bunch of poorfags compared to Korans?

manlet syndrome

Sad day when we patrol another country's border better than our own.

Who do you think funds the south Koreans defense of the dmz?
USA USA USA USA

And a tracked vehicle will do everything that can do and more with much greater armor and weapon capability

>tracked vehicle
Nope. USA is still too poor for that.

In a few decades we will have gundams holy shit

You! Start 5 new threads about JEW HATE right now.

We're being raided by (((pro-race-war shills))). Slide their slide by starting JEW HATE threads to focus on the real enemy...who wants to race-mix whites out of existence.

This is personal for me...I've lost 3 cousins to feminist lies, who slutted it up and didn't have babies and are now too old and sad.

Make a JEW HATE thread NOW!!

Slow as fuck, many weaknesses like the leg joints which can completely disable the vehicle.

I enjoy mech video games immensely, but in the real world the concept is impractical to a standard tank/tracked vehicle.

>many weaknesses like the leg joints
What if you put armor on them?

This, I don't care how inefficient and impractical they are. I want giant robot battles now.

Until they replace the body with AI like everything else.
This planet will be the families of about 50 people and billions of giant robots.

> 5 men charge robot
> Push over the robot
> It's now just a paper weight

So spooky

Less reliable than treads. The armor would only hinder it's range of motion or it would still retain weak spots. It could be given an armored kilt sort of thing to retain the movement, but at the cost of mobility once again.

Just stick to treads or power armor, mechs aren't viable in combat.

That reminds me, what happened to the USA vs Japan mech fight?

Believe me I'd love to see mech IRL man, with our current tech though I don't think it'll do too good.

Korean border is mountainous and forested. Not to mention the millions of land mines.

>implying they'd get close with auto-aim tearing their bodies into pink mist

still though just one small explosion and that thing is done for. just a heap of a wasted million dollars.

it's still a great first step.

Mechs are a shitty idea. Slow, high energy consumption, high profile (easy to shoot), very hard to control, and even the good in all terrain meme is just that, a meme, considering how hard it is to just make them go forward on a level, flat, smooth surface.

This would get BTFO by a regular foot soldier.

Mechs and robots will not be viable war machines until well into the 2070's. By the 2050's, we will have artificial body parts and organs, possibly even full prosthetic bodies. This sounds like some serious GiTS weaboo faggotry, but it seriously looks like that is where we're going.

It's probably to overwhelm the norkies with the idea that southkies have so much better tech that they have robots. Maybe the nork soldiers would question and fear in their pants.

The only thing this would do good for is research, scaring the average foot soldier in the North Korean Army, and making all the US troops stationed in South Korea laugh their fucking asses off. Great to scare the uneducated but, tactically is utter fucking trash.

NERF THIS

finally koreans can be 6 feet tall

you sound like the Generals who shit talked air combat and the air craft in general in WW1

the difference between pics related is less than 100 years, and we are advancing technologically at a rate now that is unprecedented.
by the time these things hit the field, and they will, they will be fucking incredible

to poor for treads?

>Great to scare the uneducated
Are Americans scared?

CGI m8 this video has cropped out the name of the artist but I remember it said vitaly bulgarov in the top corner, he's a pretty sick 3D artist.

But how would those robots stop elite Russian hackers?

I'm betting that they haven't figured out how to make them move faster than a Jeb turtle.

By using GNU/Linux as an OS?

its cool and all, but the way it walks makes it look like it could tip over on the slightest bad move

The arms seem to work nicely. If it could run, or even just walk around faster, these could easily find purpose in combat situations.

Robotics as a whole has a real problem with bipedal legs. Boston Dynamics has done very well with quadrupedal designs, but bipedal movement is far more advanced, and takes far more micro-movements to balance properly. Give it another 20 years, and it'll have much better balance. The problem to solve after that will be reliable power sources, and then another 25-30 years to get them approved, and tested for combat.

So I guess you didn't read my post then. Nice.

I doubt it. no power source is available that could power something like that with bipedal movement, unless its connected to a 3 foot thick power cord

Kim has been playing Metal Gear Solid too much that he had an idea for a real life metal gear.

>South Korean Meka

passive aggressive is a stinky cologne

Not reading people's posts and then trying to talk down to them makes you look like an idiot.

This. I look at the Star Wars at at walkers and think that you couldn't come up with a shittier design for a weapon.

>you sound like the Generals who shit talked air combat and the air craft in general in WW1
I ain't saying the tech in itself isn't useless but, what I see as of right now and you toss it into the field you will get alot of nervous North Koreans and banter among the soldiers. You have to realize that if they are going to place this in the DMZ it's going to be a very rocky terrain area with high humidity. I do not believe they have the tech that would allow for that device to be stable when moving in that location. Even if this device was to operate solely on asphalt you now have a very large slow target that can be easily dealt with by a fire team. The tech is in it's infancy so I consider it as of right now in a military application useless unless the goal is to make the DPRK army watch Neon Genesis and make them fear the robot and bitch who is best waifu. Other than that I see the value of it right now mostly research purposes in order to improve it.

>The arms seem to work nicely
Problem is it would be need to be quick on moving without it falling on it's ass since after all the target you are going to want to shoot at isn't going to stick in the same open place. As of right now it isn't qualified for anything other than research.

nice window in the middle, faggot

GOLIATH ONLINE

thats better, talk like a man or not at all.

I shouldve elaborated but according to sources like

go-rbcs.com/articles/the-increasing-pace-of-technology-advancement

and

kurzweilai.net/the-law-of-accelerating-returns

Technological advancement, processing power and battery capability are advancing at rates where every year we advance more than all the previous years combined, in some cases thats becoming a matter months now.

I think we will see mechs like this, achieving abilities in a far shorter time frame than you sugggested

>dva online

...

D.VA WILL BE REAL IN OUR LIFE TIMES.

Turn of the century we saw 16 inventions per billion people, we are now at 4 per billion. Thanks niggers.

>Japanese will invent Gundams within our lifetimes
PLEASE GOD

The difference being military aircraft were a revolutionary weapons platform that bypassed many of the limitations of that era's armed forces. While this is just a giant slow moving target begging to get fucked by missiles that cost a fraction of what it does.

lets be real they wouldnt bomb anything unless the us president gave them permission

Keep in mind the F-35 was in development for 10 years, and is still a disaster to this day, and the F-35 had years of past examples and things to build upon. What makes you think this will be any better.

This is the first step. A rough draft. I can assure you these will not be in use for ANYTHING for another 40 years. Minimum.

And even with the advancing rate at which things are progressing, it isn't advancing that much to the point of weaponised bipedal robots in the next few decades.

The consensus actually is that it would sink into the ground. That's the primary reason why we don't have battle robots.

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONEE?

lol, tanks can go up hills, there is zero benefit and an extreme waste of energy to have a machine have to literally pick itself up with each step when it can be planted on the ground

I could see some shit like pic related happening. But anything bigger would be two large and heavy for a bipedal design.

Also it would sick in soft terrain and have a large silhouette

> While this is just a giant slow moving target begging to get fucked by missiles that cost a fraction of what it does.
and the first planes used in combat were shot down with pistols

I believe the finished platform will be changed in ways that we are unable to envision at this point in time, and in WW1 aircraft were also considered a waste of military resources, but by WW2 were more than essential, so were tanks for that matter, in WW1 there were publicity pieces and used mainly to scare the enemy with noise

This is a good point about the F35, imo though, (and im simply playing devils advocate in this thread) the RnD from the F35 program will be rolled over into products like these, greatly lowering the time to get them ready, the helmet for example would enable the pilot of the mech to be in a secured capsule with no need for a glass type of vision

i agree with this

Needs 100 more years until we get or a major conflict that sees governments dump billions into robotics.

ANIME JA NAI

>Life of an US soldier is still less valuable than the cost of a robot.

Who would spend money in Syria just to kill Arabs. It's cheaper to throw stupid Americans at them.

It's beautiful.

>tfw

D.suka thread?

>glorious North Korea's response

youtube.com/watch?v=b0dmRPA94pA

this right here is the best and most practical mech design you will ever see in your life time!

>This giant manned robot might patrol the North Korean border

This is fantastic. The North Korean patrols will see it across the DMZ lurching around. They will report it. The news goes up the chain to the brass, who then tell Kim Jong Un. He can't let this stand. It shows Best Korean inferiority in military robotic sciences. Thus begins the North Korean mech program, where they try to build a gundam out of old tractor parts. No end to the lols.

What the fuck happened to Asuka's face?

Good art of those two together is hard to come by.

I just imagine the mid boss from the first level of earthworm Jim on a massive scale being the N.Koreans answer to the South's robotics program.

with Russian RPDs on the forks

the doctrine is to pull the forklift up behind hard cover and raise the fork to provide indirect suppressive fire

...

shit DC puts more effort into securing Israel's borders than our own

Not really the point, Shealer.

Sure they can make an automated tank, but can they make it cute?

>Koreans get Gundams to patrol their border
>Drumpf wants to build a fucking wall

Kek, this.

>The consensus actually is that it would sink into the ground.
Which has been retarded from the first time some moron read about ground pressure and came up with the idea.

> Robot slips on a mossy rock

So spooky

Some Gundams use on-board nuclear reactors.

>Slow as fuck, many weaknesses like the leg joints which can completely disable the vehicle.

I could say the same for more or less any machine.

>implying "gundams" can do shit against EMP

How would you cool a mobile nuclear reactor that's in near constant motion in a battle situation?

By solving the problem with technology instead of just saying 'it's impossible'

Honestly I was just wondering if you had any ideas user.

SIMPSONS DID IT!

Needs further development so it can stomp minorities to death.

There are minorities in worst Korea?

Pretty much this.

The whole giant mech thing (like in robotech/rifts/ many anime stuff) is extremely unlikely. Even modern tanks can't withstand a direct hit against the best AT missiles and tank guns, they use cover and concealment in combat. A giant mech is going to stand out like a skyscraper and be completely ineffective in combat.

Battle suits that are only slightly bigger than people, however, make sense, because their pilots could still use cover and concealment.

Also, I can see mechs being used in a non-military capacity, like by the police. Cops today ride horses, for example, because they are great in crowd control, but in warfare horses are useless today. I can see cops using mechs for crowd control and such.
