The speed thing got me thinking; how fast is a camera? Years ago, a car show called Top Gear (sorry if you know it already) did a test to see how fast they would need to travel in a car, in order to outrun the flash of a speed camera. IIRC it was ~180mph? I wonder if the instant acceleration, is just the craft moving faster than what the camera can process? Or, if that even a thing or possible?Yeah alot of human technology impresses me but that's because I don't have any perspective other than what we can do. But I'm talking about laws of physics being broken in these cases. I understand radar can be fooled and that's true but when you have several radars bringing back the same data and pilots seeing these things zip off at speeds they can't even understand that's significant. Not only that radar returns seem to show similar speeds dating back many decades. It seems there's a cruising speed of about 4000 miles per hour and an ultra-fast "Let's get the fuck outta here" 50,000mph. And it's instant, no visible proposition, no acceleration, and can stop on a time. Human metals and humans would literally explode with that sort of speed and stop. So, in those cases it would need to be a 1940s hypersonic... drone. With metals, computer systems, and proposition completely unknown. 1940-50s.
The flare vid you posted looks cool, but its not similar to what I'm seeing at all. Especially that first and third video.
Don't underestimate our materials though. I can't comment on what happened in the 40's, but if we take an average female pilot (I say female because males are less tolerant to G, both positive and negative, than women are. Nobody knows why, it just be dat way). Average female can pull 9.5 positive G before blacking out. The material can be made to withstand 35G, which is where the insane manoeuvrability of drones comes from. Add a SCRAM jet in there and while it's not instant 4000mph, it could pull speeds and turns that would blow our minds and look like a new tech.
I guess it's down to interpretation then. Your videos look like drones testing their flare, or flare like counter-measures. I don't know what drones would use as counter measures, as flares and flare dispensers are very heavy in relation to the weight of a drone. So i would imagine a smaller, more efficient tech would be used to achieve the same outcome
