Shown how the British Marines went on boarding with jetpacks

On Friday, the United States Naval Institute (USNI) released an eye-catching video showing the British Royal assault team. fleetsimulating boarding of ships from the air thanks to the use of jetpacks.

The duration of the flight of the Marines in this equipment is said to be eight minutes. Five miniature jet engines are used as the power plant: four of them are strapped to the arms and one is located on the back. The drives, generating 1000 hp, can reach speeds of 88,5 km / h. According to the video, the flight in the backpack looks confident enough, allowing you to make an accurate landing on the deck.

As explained in the USNI, the tests were to demonstrate the possibility of using the specified equipment for "mass landing and boarding of ships." Moreover, Special Operations Command is currently evaluating a jetpack that could potentially "reach speeds in excess of 200 miles [322 km] per hour."

The satchel was manufactured by the British startup Gravity Industries headquartered in Salisbury. Its founder and part-time inventor Richard Browning has repeatedly publicly demonstrated the possibilities of his creation.

С every year every week, air defense systems against small and unmanned aircraft are getting better and better. There are ALREADY automatic homing rapid-fire turrets. Actually, the problem of such turrets is only in the power of the control computer and software, they are still expensive and not optimal. And the optics and drives are already quite advanced and cheap.

[Hypertension]

The classic confrontation between shell and armor. Drones are evolving too. Swarm tactics, etc. The problem of drones is also in the quality of software and control computer.

This is yes.
Large losses of the swarm are quite acceptable if it has completed the task.

A tug is still needed, who will drag the captured ship to the port?

[blackice]

This miracle works for 8 minutes. What is the range? 300 meters?
Of course, I also saw "Iron Man", but I don't think that it will take less than a minute to land on this minivunderwuffle and we will never see a Tony Stark-style landing.

Where did you see the scope for application here? To send to death only with such a knapsack

This invention is not new, and they occupied their niche (advertising, shows, tourism) precisely because of their uselessness in the military sphere.

Yes, very harsh, a flyer stuffed with fuel. One "miss" and it will be severely severe. So far, these are entertainment shows and promotions. The British still cannot substantiate it in practice, then the rescuers need it, then the doctors, now the military. Fuel is enough for an average of 5 min. Weighs 30kg. Until the harsh reality there is like before Mars. The beginning was laid back in the 60s and they still do not fly away, well, think of another 50 years they fly until something intelligible comes out. No, I'm not laughing, just healthy skepticism. Here it is faster and more practical to bring an air taxi to mind. At least the dimensions give relative freedom in design.

Well, you also compared. You can make a huge list of such inventions that have not found application.

[blackice]

Noisy, short range.
A suit for fighting the blind-deaf-dumb?
What is one advantage of this suit in a combat situation? A fun target?
Comparison with a drone? Well yes. The operator of this suit can be in the air for hours? And in the event of the liquidation of the drone, the operator remains alive, and here it is just the perfect suicide technique.
It's like competing with an armored personnel carrier on an F-1 car, hoping that the car is 5 times faster.

Recently, drones were also laughed at, now it's not at all funny to some who laughed longer than others.

[the Saint]

In Russia, they laughed at oil from shale,
In Russia, they laughed at shale gas.
Why are "On horses" now foreigners,
And the Russians never smile Fortune?

[Sasha Minakov]

Oh my god ... another .... (((

[nnm]

Strange judgment. Somehow I have not heard that oil shale has suddenly approached the natural product in terms of cost.

[the Saint]

Have you ever heard of geopolitics? Well, to what extent should the degree of hostility among the countries-buyers of raw materials in Europe be brought, so that they abandon the somewhat cheaper Russian raw materials in favor of the more expensive ones from the USA, the Middle East and other distant producers.

Even Turkey follows the path of a reasonable Europe and refuses Russian gas. In 2019-20, Gazprom's supplies to the Turkish market fell just catastrophically.
If back in March last year, Russia, with a share of almost 33%, was the leader in gas exports to the Turkish market, then in March this year it dropped to the fifth position.

Azerbaijan (23,5% share) and Iran (14,2%) have already bypassed Russia in pipeline supplies to Turkey, and Qatar (20%) and Algeria (13,7%) in terms of liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies. Thus, in March Russia dropped to fifth place in the list of the largest gas suppliers to Turkey from first place a year earlier. In addition, the United States caught up with Russia in exporting its LNG to Turkey. In March, US supplies of liquefied gas to Turkey increased by 300% yoy - their share reached 9,4%.

[nnm]

1. If you please write nonsense, dear. Yes, your dear Poland in 2019 increased the purchase of Russian gas at a record. Excuse me, sir, won't it be difficult for you to provide data on the share of Russian gas in the European market? Perhaps then you would not be so categorical.
2. Turkey has already been analyzed on this site by numbers, contracts and suppliers, therefore, the second time to do this, do not blame me, I will not. Everything is much simpler - the drop in the volume of gas purchases by Turkey is primarily due to the drop in its production and domestic consumption. It is easy to see this by comparing the delta of the decrease in the volume of domestic gas and the delta of consumption for other suppliers, and then opening and comparing with the data on the dynamics of domestic consumption.
Best regards

Flat-earthers were also laughed at, and they still do. You see, analogy still doesn't save an idea from stupidity.

Should you bother with hitting on the fly? Let him sit on the deck, all the same, the turbines are dangling on his hands, and to shoot this "Carlson" you must first throw off these shackles. The speed of movements and maneuvers on the deck of the ship are also limited due to the knapsack behind the back, which probably has a lot of weight. And somehow it turns out that this flight turns out in one direction because fuel supply is limited not by hours but by minutes of flight. So if this pribluda is used in hostilities, then you can make a verdict "Not only everyone will be able to reach the enemy ship, few will be able to leave it."(almost Klitschko)
P / S / -Although, it must be admitted, this stray has prospects at least for use in case of emergency and emergency situations, when the victims can be planted with some items, medicines, products to ensure survival, while the main operation to rescue them is being developed and carried out.

Yes, it’s a pity to be around the “Duet” with its 10 thousand rounds per minute. To catch them on the deck, to stuff their faces for bad intentions and violation of the border, and send them to correctional work, and these "gadgets" will be useful to us ourselves.

The main problem of this device is its limited fuel supply, and accordingly a small power reserve, which in turn limits the list of tasks performed, especially in the military sphere. It is not for this that the military of the whole world was carried away by the creation of shock drones to "pilot" a bunch of small turbines with limited functionality.
For bearded homeless people, this is certainly a dream, tk. they would use these devices to "carlsonize" their suicide bombers, but this dream is dear to them.

[blackice]

Yes.
A container for weapons will be attached to it, the mass will be increased, so you will have to make at least a skeleton reinforced with a suit, the mass has increased again, respectively, the turbines are more powerful, respectively, the tanks are larger and what happened, the plane?
I understand you have seen enough of movies, but physics at school would also be worth teaching.

[blackice]

Where to throw from?
Given the radius of action of this shnyazhka, it is easier to throw from the shore. By hand.

[Nyrobsky]

Everything would be done by hand. And then why did they come up with a mixer? As a usefulness in military operations, I do not consider this one at all, but as an aid in the event of emergencies, after some refinement, it will fit perfectly.

[blackice]

After some refinement, either the plane will work, or the helicopter.
All the same, Marvell technologies are not available to us.

The thing is at least interesting. Flyboard Air is already offering to buy goods at a price of only 32 and a half rubles rubles. If you are interested, then here is a link to the website of the official dealer of the manufacturer of this miracle of technology from the Zapata Racing company: https://flyboard-shop.ru/flaybord-eyr/ (the message is not an advertisement ).

If you want to advertise better, show your plans for the future where at least a bit you can see the meaning of the existence of this knapsack in military terms.
Now it is noisy (very), bulky, difficult to control, dangerous (to pierce the engine, tank and flight to the wrong direction), it is not realistic to shoot with it now.
Now, as if they do not even know where else to shove him in order to justify his far-fetched significance.

For the third year I have been on YouTube watching them go there laughing There are more than enough jokes with this "flying" system!

You will excuse me, of course, but I have been watching you for only a couple of years and I just can't understand ... Either you are a populist, whom the world has never seen, or hell knows who else, who "picked up inches" and mastered "OK Google on speed"...
In addition to the fact that in each topic, you are like a "plug in every hole" with hellish populism, so also your judgments are caused not only by bewilderment, but simply, either laughter or tears.
I recommend opening the NSD (instruction on shooting), section - shooting at air targets and choose what you like best: shooting with a barrage method, escorting or parachutists ... devices, then pick up. Let me remind you that in addition to large-caliber guns and missiles, the Navy ships also have standard small arms for officers and sailors. Suddenly, huh !? ))
But, I admit, as kamikaze people, this absurdity can be applied. Which, however, does not negate the work on them of the standard air defense systems of ships.
So I imagine the command given on the ship: By the swarm glowing in the tellak and NVG and single targets of unknown garbage - FIRE!
Gentlemen of the naval, weary that climbed into your diocese ...

[blackice]

Do not understand the scale of this product !!!
It's a meat rocket!
Imagine the picture: these sacks of meat begin to pour onto the deck of the ship, simultaneously breaking everything for themselves, their hands. legs, and other breaking parts of the carcass. The crew looks and listens to this terrifying picture, with the crunching of bones and screams of pain from the attackers, they become despondent, plunged into universal anguish and surrender without a fight.
The attackers, those who did not bleed or who are able to move independently, coming out of a fainting state, take defeat and again faint.
The main thing is the scale of the action! The more broken organisms, the more the psyche of the defenders will darken.

the truth is, there are police trap networks, a very useful thing against such flying fighters. And it is not yet clear how they will shoot, if that. You can, of course, tar the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, like a pig, or even two opponents with two hands, but then what?

Now drones can do anything, and even do an evacuation. There is still a field not plowed, various kinds of applications. And here so far only entertainment, no more.

No, I was thinking about the new MI-8, but I wrote the performance characteristics from MI-28. I'm drowning in the evening)
But MI-8 also has titanium on the sides, Kevlar on the floor, so at least it holds the "seven".

What is the safest way to board? Here are the conventional Somali pirates seized a tanker (there were precedents) - a high-board ship. Options?

A cannon shot from the destroyer. When they stop, hang everyone on the mast without trial. After that, be sure to go to the Somali coast and erase a couple of fishing villages and change a couple of leaders. One time is enough for the eyes. Diluted fashion - pay ransom, boarding, then put in a corner
Well, now the technical side. The jet engine is hovering, and in general at a speed of less than 600 km per hour - this is called "mad with fat". When neither range nor duration is needed. Like all multicopters with tiny propellers. A toy, the use of which is more difficult to come up with than the toy itself. With the same success, you can look for the application of the Rubik's cube in sheep breeding.

[Ryazan87]

A cannon shot from the destroyer.

Hostages? If a tanker is hijacked? Well, they shot under the nose (by the way, captured ships are often not on the move), the pirates showed you the middle finger. What do you suggest next? Shoot at the ship?

When they stop, hang everyone on the mast without trial.

After such episodes, the pirates are even less inclined to surrender. This is not to mention some legal ... hmm ... extremism of such actions.

When neither range nor duration is needed.

- for boarding or, say, storming a multi-storey building (skyscraper, industrial complex) - the range and duration are limited. The niche is narrow, but not superfluous.

[dauria]

After such episodes, the pirates are even less inclined to surrender.

After such episodes, pirates will disappear as a "profession". They seize hostages with the ship for ransom. If instead of a ransom there is a guaranteed gallows plus the destruction of the settlements from where they "sailed", then who needs such a "profession"? Yes, their own leaders-masters will strangle them before they "sail" to work.

The video has already shown one option, but this is not the point, but that they can, and we cannot.

It is a pity of course that you cannot. Well, do not worry, I think you will succeed if you try.

[mark2]

In general, there are similar systems in Russia. The question is different. The difference is in design. In the West, they create technology, and then they think about where to apply it. In Russia, the opposite is true. Therefore, the impression is created in the lag. It's just that in Russia the task is set before its implementation. So it is. And so the system is cool, but crude. When such systems will not take away the attention of the pilot to maintain stabilization in flight, then you should envy. Until then, this is just another easy target.

[vargo]

I'll come up with a big crap now, and I will answer all your arguments with your own phrase. And then I'll also get money for it. Here you will be furious, but you will not forget your phrase. This phrase comes from the pink part of social networks "Not yours, so you are mad!". You are led to the mind and you press on emotions.

[nnm]

Mountain shooters, unexpected landing on a steep coast from the water, assault groups in multi-storey buildings. I think that many more options can be found, but the question is that we must look not at the current moment, but at the future. To understand whether there is a possibility of a breakthrough in development, no. Understand for which parts - MTR, AC, this is applicable, etc. Of course, you shouldn't rush to copy, but if you can assume that the development is promising, you should have at least R&D on this topic.

Mountain shooters, unexpected landing on a steep coast from the water, assault groups in multi-storey buildings.

All this assumes high-speed movement, because the wunderwolf is still noisy, and slowly and sadly you won't get to the place of the battle on it, they will be shot down like in a dash. This means that you will need an intelligent autopilot, sensors and cameras, as well as the ability to quickly enter data into the autopilot. Well, or something like a cruise control that corrects pilot errors and overshoots.

Google something like "Fyodor's official Twitter account has been deleted"

[tralflot1832]

In his twitter he scolded the astronauts. First they were banned and probably brains for an upgrade. It was this week.

[barin]

Let them come to visit us too. We'll treat you with something.

[tralflot1832]

It looks of course enchanting. Previously, their marines accompanied the port authorities at the entrance to the Anglican port of a ship under the Arab flag. The helicopters of the Hollywood boat were resting. But there were peaceful Arabs. And if really with a pair of large-caliber machine guns 12,7 sluggish in the crew will probably be flying on pieces of a jet marine? thrust in five directions from 12,7. Only the shield of the captain of America will help. Without the shield, this device is useless!

[vargo]

So, little by little, what is emerging? That's right, helicopter!)

[engineer74]

Cool boarding when both hands are busy with the thrusters!
And what will the old Soviet startups - KPV and AK-630 - say to this?

[tralflot1832]

AK 630, this is too much. From a fire nozzle on approach to the boss with water under a pressure of 8 kg, this is a humane option for a boarding officer, but holding a marine with a fire hook with a fence until his kerosene develops is also a sadistic option.

[shtatsov]

Quote: rocket757

It will be possible to talk about such a method of landing, boarding, when a reliable, automatic flight control system is created. In the meantime, this is just a target that is busy with only one thing, as if not to crash or not to enter somewhere in the wrong place. Sometime later!

I also wanted to say that it's just an expensive target. He can even pee in the air only in his pants! There is nothing to hold))

[Prisoner]

Dream. Wali is like a dash.

[fn34440]

Anglo-Saxons - A NATION OF PIRATES. Now it is called terrorism.
As they were pirates, they remained.
Country of STATE PIRACY.

[cniza]

Moreover, Special Operations Command is currently evaluating a jetpack that could potentially "reach speeds in excess of 200 miles [322 km] per hour."

Everything is fine, but how to slow down

[tralflot1832]

I would say how to brake, on the sea, only the VO will not miss.

[cniza]

I also thought about it when I read it ... but seriously, they can be used not for military operations ...

[sabakina]

Vitya prYuvet! You can brake with a parachute. The fighters are slowing down ... In general, this is not a boarding, but a circus. Captain Blood is at a loss ...

[cniza]

Uh-huh, English specialists keep on playing ... Greetings!

[nnm]

About the side of the ship, of course))))

[cniza]

It's good if you go overboard, but if you go against a mast or some kind of rail ...

[Xenofont]

Anti-boarding activities will look like a duck hunt. A pair of shotguns and a cop are always on board.

[Deniso]

well, while he is flying, he cannot shoot ... and any splinter hitting him will fall without a parachute .. let them fly

[Whirlwind]

"Down and Out trouble started..."

[vargo]

What is the beginning? They have been flying for many years. This knapsack is not one or five years old. Yes, only everything is the same. Maybe the engines are changing, but they do not add ideas for a comprehensive solution.

[Whirlwind]

The most important thing is that they fly. That means they will reach ... The main question is, what do we have in this regard?

[vargo]

No, while the main question is (as always) Is it necessary at all? Usually ends determine the means, not the other way around.

[Whirlwind]

A single initiative does not always immediately coincide with state tasks. BUT even the state cannot give a correct assessment to everything at once. We will see...

[mongolian9999]

In this form, only sleeping pirates are scared.
1. Engines on the hands do not allow the use of weapons in flight. The Marine is unarmed for 8 minutes. Accordingly, it cannot be used during the day.
2. Cannot be used at night due to unmasking "fireflies" of jet engines.
The only application is to transfer a group over natural or artificial obstacles in a limited radius and at a considerable distance from the enemy.

[gridasov]

The idea is not fantastic. However, on this principle of the turbine design, it is impossible to finish off the flight duration and other requirements

[Dikson]

Well, not for boarding - exactly .. as a means to get from board to board - it may well be .. but only for a trained and trained "pilot" ..)) how does this thing behave in a squally wind? to get from the surfaced submarine to the enemy shore, inconvenient for a usual landing? This backpack probably makes a noise like a carrier-based fighter taking off ...

[Petro_tut]

And where is the video, where are these flyers shooting on the fly?

[7,62x54]

The power of the knapsack should be enough to lift two people, otherwise they plan to take their own from the battlefield.

[fn34440]

1000 hp - now the power of the modernized engines of our tanks - GDT-1000 T, gas turbine.
The latest version of the T-90 tank is the T-90AM. The power of the V-92S2F2 engine installed on it with an automatic transmission is 970 hp.
Why do goats, pardon, British terrorists need such accordions?

[Kasta]

To capture a building ... from the roof, for example, it is the very thing, but for an abardage ... it's too early ... but it's a matter of time

[vargo]

To capture from the roof, you can also use a helicopter, it will even be more comfortable there. And it will save you from so many problems.

[yfast]

There the hoses are transparent, and there is fuel in them. Sooner or later something will fall off somewhere, and it will be a flying torch, not a Marine.

[Tagan]

Everyone stand, no one moves! Right now I'll take off the motor and talk

Quote: Temples

One bullet is enough for this flyer to go to feed the fish.

Yes, that's enough.
Especially during the landing, when the Marines will be hanging over the deck, sweating and looking for a patch where to land. If submachine gunners are waiting for them, then no luck
That said, it will take time to remove this cumbersome system and prepare for combat. And the arrival will be noisy ...

He is very unstable in flight, I watched a video where the English blogger Colin Furze tested this backpack. It's just that these are his real attempts, not advertising. In the official video they try to show the product with their face

And you don't have to laugh at him, it's just that this technology is in development. The first drones were toy ones too!

Plus, sometimes civilian ships are stormed, and there such an appearance of fighters will be met with frightened and surrendering ... So for each goal - its own means!

[vargo]

I have seen this knapsack for a very long time, it is not at the stage of development, it is rather at the stage "Who would say where it can be applied?" The main problem is that controllability is not fundamentally solved.

[meandr51]

An ordinary mesh-netting or water cannon will easily protect against such "flying customs officers".

[vargo]

Wind and / or sea waves

[iouris]

Probably put on Ukraine ... for "cyborgs".

[Falcon5555]

Hands are busy - they cannot shoot while they are flying. But it's still entertaining. And it opens up new opportunities for all sorts of things. Over time, they will figure out how to shoot on the fly.

[Cat]

For some reason I remembered the old film "Tremors" with these ... well ... blasters

[Eug]

As for me, getting off with their help is much more instructive than attacking. If, of course, you have time to put it on, start up and fly off a sufficient distance.

[Knell wardenheart]

Potentially interesting device, which however is very limited due to the known achieved limits of efficiency of fuel pairs and the degree of sophistication of engines. This means that there will be a rather serious framework limiting the flight range of such infantrymen (and probably the speed). Also, everything goes to the fact that in the need to fight drones, defense systems will be largely automated (and the EPR of a person with such bells and whistles, like the "heat trace" from 5 engines, leave much to be desired) - which will have a deplorable effect on the actual "boarding" of everything more or less providing for defense.

However, the idea of ​​using these devices in some point special operations is very interesting. Also (possibly) it will be useful for placing snipers in hard-to-reach positions, personal evacuation of especially important subjects, etc.
In general - a flexible and interesting tool, IMHO.

[Fedorovich]

Do these knapsacks also work on anal traction?

[Falcon5555]

British scientists have invented a special pill. You accept, and you fly away ...

And if the net is pulled from stern to bow? So much fun to land?

this is a valid answer, as they say cheap and cheerful It's like when, in response to the expensive American missile defense (or SDI), they decided to launch a pair of buckets of balls from bearings into orbit and launch them into the appropriate orbits

[napalm]

They remained as pirates.

[veritas]

An interesting invention, when they decide the question of a longer stay in the air, then it will be serious. In the meantime, a toy, but with a perspective.

[tralflot1832]

The flyer's option is an exoskeleton with automatic flight control and a bunch of buns flying nearby with a helmet-mounted sight, just have time to change the means of destruction. Let's sit on the cleared beachhead.

[Vsevolod136]

ha, a flying chicken carcass asks for a jacan.

[AB]

Well, such a British eagle is flying, and on the deck the boatswain with the crew and all with hunting rifles. And the guns are wolf canister. And ... I think not one of them will reach the deck. 30-35 meters for these eagles is oh so far, and they won't have time to dodge, but just right for buckshot.

[Alexey from Perm]

But what if you fly over the border at night on such knapsacks, and mine, for example, the Trans-Siberian, to derail trains and fly back across the border? Will you be funny again over British eagles?

[AB]

You know, they tried it back in the USSR. And on hang-gliders, and on paragliders, and even (oh horror) on a prototype jetpack. For reference, the jetpack (previously secret development for the US Army) was shown to the general public at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. So, all violators of the USSR State Border were caught. Now there is no need to use any technical means to cross the border. Enter legally and get lost in the vastness of our vast homeland. Nobody will look for you. Until you light up on contacts.

[Alexey from Perm]

Wow, how could they, because they do not have RUSNAN and ROSTEKH, they do not have Chubais, but they have innovative backpacks with engines ...

[Avior]

Interesting application
There is not enough automation of flight, so that the movement is along a stable minimum trajectory in the form of one jump from side to side.
Again, helicopter boarding is reliable. And safe
The border guards will come in handy for disembarking the inspection group, it is clearly safer than jumping aboard the offender with the risk of life.
As for the fact that you can't shoot at the time of the jump, they'll cover them with fire from their side, if necessary, it's more reliable than shooting when landing.
When revised, it will get a lot of use.
In principle, control technologies have long been developed on drones - with distance control, automatic flight trajectory control, stability and so on.
You just need to bring all the necessary technologies into one whole.
If the border guards and the military are interested, they will find money for revision.
And the applications of the sea will be for short travels and rescue - a ready-made compact rescue vehicle.
Firefighters will use the same for others.
If brought to mind, of course.

[Prjanik]

So far it looks ridiculous and ridiculous, but in the future, with the introduction of computerized exoskeletons, this stray autopilot mode may make sense.

[Rage66]

These "bees" with thin legs will be cut into noodles on the way to the object)))

[Lynx2000]

Probably many were confused by the term “boarding” in the understanding of the times of the sailing fleet, linear tactics, approaching with sides, coupling with boarding hooks, hand-to-hand combat.

In modern conditions of naval combat, in relation to warships, this tactic is meaningless, the British understand this.

In modern conditions, the so-called “boarding” is a type of special operation that is carried out by the Special Forces. Tasks and goals: freeing hostages, capturing smugglers, etc.
These operations are carried out in interaction with water, under water and from the air. They are characterized by stealth, surprise and low noise at the initial stage.

[Tornado]

Finally - the fly man is real! We are waiting for Hulk!

[SASHA OLD]

What's next? Invisibility cloaks...
Self-guided bullets
Jedi swords..?
Seriously, everything that seemed to us before as cinematic fiction and pure fantasy today is reality.
We live in amazing times

[Rage66]

Invisibility cloaks were tested back in World War II....

[Nitarius]

his hands are busy .. he should be holding a machine gun with something .... a flying target))) he needs to have control from the brain))) and his hands are free! and it’s not a fact .. that they won’t knock down this flying bullshit with a stick)))

[Kapkan]

So far, it seems that events will develop something like this:

[uav80]

To deliver food from a restaurant to the admiral on a pleasure boat...

[Phoenix]

Not bad as a prototype. In some situations, it is better than landing from a helicopter or by parachute (in these cases, the landing force also cannot fight until it touches the deck and is parachuted UNDER SURVEY). The next stage of development may be the transfer of motors from hands to mechanical manipulators and control by gaze/voice/remotely/etc. to free up the hands. Intelligent AI could lead and land paratroopers itself, and a paratrooper in an exoskeleton and armor could fire in flight and immediately after landing Science fiction, of course, but once upon a time we didn’t even fly into space...

[evgen1221]

Surely someone really liked the Gundam anime. But the technology is still imperfect and you can drive away a flyer with a hook.

[Rage66]

So his hands are busy during the landing? Then he's just a defenseless target...
Only during landing (3-4 seconds) will they make minced meat out of it.
At least they would greet me with paintball guns for fun

[Archivist Vasya]

Cool, just like in GTA . Only there were your hands free and you could shoot

[Selevc]

If someone flies with a jetpack to board a ship, then he must be prepared that the same jetpacks defending the enemy ship will take off to meet him!!! And this will generally be brutal - aerial duels between special forces and Jedi!!!

But seriously: man is a very clumsy creature both in the air and in the water, and we are not destined to fly like birds and swim like fish for a long time!!!

[TatarinSSSR]

How will he fire if his hands are full of nozzles? This is if only secretly, flying up at night. In the daytime they will be shot on approach from small arms.
