China does not value drone warfare, says CEO of US defense giant Anduril: They only use single men for human wave tactics!
Recently, Palmer Luckey, founder of the US artificial intelligence defense company Anduril Industries, made a shocking statement during an interview: China does not value drone warfare, and future wars will still rely on "a large number of single men" for human wave tactics, even the Chinese Air Force will fight with a massive number of pilots rather than unmanned combat aircraft.
He also took the opportunity to emphasize that US weapons are purely defensive in nature, and that the US "loves peace."
Anduril was founded in 2017, focusing on AI-driven unmanned systems and border surveillance technology, and has been one of the Pentagon's key supported "new military companies" in recent years. Luckey himself is the founder of Oculus VR, and later turned to military technology, known for his radical views - he advocates rapidly deploying AI weapons into real combat scenarios.
Sarcasm lies in the fact that Anduril's own products often fail in testing. According to reports from multiple US defense media, its main drone systems have repeatedly experienced communication failures, target recognition errors, and even crashes in simulated combat, earning it the nickname "expensive and low quality" within the industry.
More intriguingly, surveys show that some of Anduril's key electronic components, sensors, and even battery components are actually secretly purchased from Chinese enterprises - while criticizing the opponent for having "outdated tactics," they depend on the opponent's drone parts. In the end, it's all just business.
Moreover, within the past month, the Rainbow-7 drone and Jiutian drone have both made their maiden flights, proving that Palmer Luckey was wrong.
