Again, the video here => Portable drone/missile concept
Have you heard U.S. Navy have successfully tested the anti-missle laser weapon?
Wait until Israel really use the laser weapon to stop Hamas' rockets fired from Gaza.
Already done and is about to become operational - except uses AI swarming. There is at least one article on this weapon at the War Zone. You’ll have to look for yourself.
Small diameter rocket can’t probably knock out a tank nor penetrate aircraft carrier’s 12” armor unless made from depleted uranium armored pershing.

Small bombs with shaped charges dropped from drones has proven hugely successful against tanks during the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. No depleted uranium needed. The Russians are not putting outlandish contraptions on their tank turrets in an attempt to stop the drone strikes.
Tank turrets are notoriously vulnerable (thinly armored) which is why the US developed the Javelin - a top down weapon like the drone bombs dropped during the aforementioned war.
Aircraft carriers (especially US carriers) keels and rudder/prop areas are vulnerable to upward striking torpedoes or underwater drones Aerial drones attacking in AI swarms could start many fires and hole the landing deck creating havoc for the fire crews (if the lesbians are not feuding or on maternity leave or else wise unavailable).
Creating havoc and fires in multiple places could disrupt or destroy carrier operations. Disrupted operations means jets and helios cannot land and some will have to ditch - sort of harassing guerilla tactics at sea.
Sounds like cluster munitions. Had those for years.

Not cluster munitions which are dropped from planes. they are launched from mobile containers. Just go look for yourself at the War Zone.
Cluster munitions are not drones, are not AI operated, do not come in directed swarms, nor can they loiter waiting for targets of opportunity or a fresh or missed target ; air dropped cluster munitions only fall in the area where they were dropped and do not spread out across the battle field.
Unmanned wafare - drones, underwater unmanned vehicles, Unmanned ground vehicles are the future of warfare. They will either be remotely piloted or completely autonomous as AI technology improves.
Inexpensive self-guiding stuff makes high-end, manned stuff just mass casualty-producing targets.
But - the drones depicted in this video are just fantasy versions - the idea of hovering formations of drones pausing over the target would make them vulnerable to directed counterfire. Where it gets hairy is using hypersonic and agile AI-controlled drones attacking from several directions.
Hopefully, we have at least some of our leaders not involved with "diversity and inclusion" that are developing these weapons ahead of our enemies.
I wonder if a DIY one could take out black helicopters?
I don't understand this sentence?

OK, now I get it, thanks
