Thank you! That's was a big problem, but luckily, between one adjustment and another, I managed to get it to stay balanced.

Thank you very much!

Welcome to the new episode of my recent series. The HWATR (Heavy Weaponized All Terrain Robot) Mk. 1 is a 3.4-meter-tall autonomous or remotely piloted combat mecha with impressive offensive capabilities. This mecha is equipped with three main armaments: a minigun with a 2,400-round cartridge; a compact railgun firing 6 rounds per minute and a 24-round cartridge, with a range of 1 km and capable of penetrating light armor such as that of LAVs and IFVs; and a single anti-tank TOW missile launcher. All weapons are manually reloadable. For defense, the HWATR has a drone jammer on top, smoke dischargers, and a laser detection system. Like all next-generation systems in the Plighia army, this mecha also features BODYGUARD technology. The weak points of this mecha are the lower joints, which are particularly exposed and poorly protected, to ensure maximum agility and speed (maximum speed similar to that of an average human running) on all types of terrain. The SMILEY APHUR (All Purpose Humanoid Utility Robot) Mk. 5 is an autonomous humanoid robot conceived, designed, built, and intended to assist with heavy-duty tasks in the civil, industrial, and military sectors. It can lift up to 200 kg of load easily and move with it with agility. Its high-density carbon-silicon battery lasts 14 hours and recharges in 4. It has no protection for its mechanisms and is used by the military to move large, heavy loads on the battlefield or assist soldiers (but not in a defensive/offensive role). Model inspired by Guy Smiley's Battle Drone.

Here we go with part 2. The MAARS (Modular Attack and Recon Robotic System) is a medium-heavy, autonomous or remote-controlled robot/drone designed for reconnaissance and infantry attack. Equipped with advanced sensors, a grenade launcher, and an M250 machine gun, as well as an independent track system and advanced suspension, it poses a formidable threat to enemy infantry. It can autonomously detect enemy soldiers, thanks to BODYGUARD system. On missions, it precedes allied troops over difficult terrain, particularly urban areas, and thanks to its weapons, it can engage any type of enemy soldier, even hitting drones flying in its vicinity. Its main drawback is its speed: given its size and armament, its speed is limited to that of a human's walking pace. The APTATD (All Purpouse Tactical Attack Tracked Drone) Mk. 3 is a compact, yet heavy, tracked autonomous vehicle capable of moving over any terrain and quickly climbing ruins and ladders. The APTATD is armed with a minigun with a 1,200-round magazine and a 40mm heavy grenade launcher, like the Mk. 19, with a 20-round magazine (both weapons with manually refilling cartridge). It is also equipped with smoke launchers and two front-mounted claymore mines. The APTATD was designed as an infantry support vehicle and uses the same enemy recognition as the AIST, the BODYGUARD system. It can engage infantry, drones, and light vehicles with it's weapons, and can be used as an autonomous heavy weapons fixed station. Given its size, speed is its weakness. Below, the full set with context.

Thank you! Stay tuned for the next week for part 2!

In this episode we'll explore some of my ground drones. The ATVRAAD (All Terrain Vertical Recon and Attack Aracno Drone) is an autonomous, or controllable, drone used for reconnaissance, surveillance, and pursuit missions. It carries an M60 machine gun only for defense or unavoidable attacks. This drone's unique feature is its ability to climb any surface, except upside down or at negative angles. It can therefore also climb vertical walls and avoid detection on the ground. Its highly articulated legs also allow it to enter buildings and windows, allowing it to maintain a low profile and better concealment. However, it is a very slow drone compared to other drones, only 20 km/h on the ground, and 5 km/h on vertical surfaces. This model was inspired by Devid VII's BL-01 drone. The Lego BDARS (Bomb Disposal Advanced Robotic System) is one of several versions of the EOD robot available to the Plighia security forces. This version differs from the others in that it was designed to combine an inexpensive yet efficient and useful vehicle. It therefore has two telescopic arms made of reinforced steel, two cameras, and can be armed with any type of handgun. The main telescopic robotic arm has a hand with built-in multipurpose tools, allowing it to operate on any type of explosive with precision and safety. Finally, its body is lightweight and compact, made of carbon fiber, with two independent tracks. Its main drawback is that it can only operate on flat or slightly uneven terrain and cannot climb stairs.

Thank you! Actually yes, such as Ukrainian maritime drones.

Sorry for the delay! Here we go with Episode 4. The LMD (Light Maritime Drone) Mk. 2 is a small, agile, and remotely operated maritime drone with a range of 100 km. It can be easily deployed from warships, but is preferably used from corvettes and frigates near the coast against enemy naval targets. It can be armed with a missile pod to attack small ships, or the pod can be replaced with a high-explosive warhead for use against larger vessels, such as cruiser and destroyer. The LMD Mk. 2 is used primarily at night, when it cannot easily be detected by the enemy, to strike by surprise. Although agile, it is helpless when finally detected and pursued by missiles and CIWS.

Nice jet! Very detailed. How you manage to build the wings block lifting mechanism?

Thank you very much! Actually Plighia Army decided to adopt the M60 family of MG beacause of their letality (7.62 mm) at medium range, and also because of the surplus of those in arsenal (no war fought during Cold War). But, hey, you're damn right about the oldness of M60 family of MG, and you'll see some variation in my next episodes

Hi guys! Here we go with Episode 3! New technologies are reshaping the battlefield: data networks, satellite communications, jamming, and much more. Communicating effectively, efficiently, and rapidly becomes crucial, as is disrupting enemy communications, predicting their moves, blinding them, and deafening them. The GeNMA is a portable multiband antenna. This antenna can concentrate communications into a very narrow "cylinder," preventing them from being intercepted or jammed. Its primary use is to create radio communication links between different locations, so it's best to position it high up and not be obstructed by buildings, trees, hills, or mountains. The SRaLJA is a lightweight, portable jammer module. Different capacities are available: the more powerful and more antennas it has, the larger the area it covers. This module is primarily placed near the front, or in specific locations, to jam enemy communications and create blind spots where special forces can operate undisturbed and keep their movements unknown to their enemies. The AIST is a robotic turret equipped with an M60 machine gun and a grenade launcher, capable of autonomously identifying soldiers and light aerial drones. Once identified, it engages and rapidly eliminates them: Plighia's army uses an electronic recognition system for all its soldiers, drones, and vehicles, system called "BODYGUARD" ensuring that the AIST does not recognize them as hostile and eliminates them. The AIST, however, does not engage the enemy when a friendly soldier is in its line of fire. The DiMDET Mk. 4 is a directed energy turret (in this case microwave and sound) used to neutralize enemy soldiers and drones at medium-to-short range; it is a non-lethal device. It is also used by police to disperse and remove protesters, or to protect sites of special interest.

That's an excellent model! Love how smoothly the foldable roof work

Thank you! I want to give little informations about Plighia Army every episode of this series.

Welcome to Episode 2! Lego DSFAD (Deep Sea Fast Agility Drone). The DSFAD is a remotely piloted or directly controllable submersible drone that supports the "Orka" division of the Italian Navy. Given its small size, it is easily transportable and deployable, and can operate with agility and relative speed in all types of seabeds. It has a range of 15 hours at a maximum speed of 6 knots, can submerge to depths of up to 50 meters, and can support up to two Orkas. Its primary role overlaps with that of the SDV. It is also used for clearing shallow waters of mines, recovering and deploying equipment, conducting underwater reconnaissance, conducting sabotage, and, finally, when equipped with an explosive charge, as a kamikaze drone against medium-light naval units. However, its antennas, in unmanned operations, limit its effective operational range, and therefore it is primarily deployed from submarines to operate in close proximity.

Thank you very much!
