#JustinTaylor #USMC #Scopes #SMASH #CounterDrone I don't think this scope will help. I watched Garand-Thumb with an army buddy trying to shoot down attacking fpv drones and the were simulated kills a bunch of times while the fpv whirled around them unscathed. If you're ever interested in the video go find it. The Marines' New Scope Obliterates FPV Drones Drones have become one of the biggest threats facing troops on the modern battlefield, and shooting down a fast-moving FPV drone with a standard rifle is an incredibly difficult task. I traveled to Prague to test the SMASH smart optic from Smartshooter, a computerized fire-control system that uses computer vision to track moving targets, calculate a firing solution, and basically be the real life equivalent of entering auto-aim cheat codes in COD. I put it through its paces against static targets, moving targets, and airborne drone targets, including after a short lil PT session to see how well it worked under physical stress. We'll be breaking down how the SMASH works, why militaries are looking at smart optics for counter-drone defense, and how rifles equipped with systems like this compare with shotguns and other last-line defenses against drones. We also look at the system’s limitations, including target identification, battery life, weight, cost, and situations where computer vision struggles to maintain a lock. Could this finally level the playing field? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_okAlJJ_X8
