The Iron Sky: Operation Highjump -team is looking for your ideas and comments. Join and show your support for Iron Sky: Operation Highjump.  Radio controled saucer drone I imagined some kind of miniature "Haunebu III" disc, perhaps recycling small testing engines left around, using teleoperation. They would look like a small flying saucer, with an antenna on top, and a ventral turrent mount combining a german machinegun and a guncamera, constantly hovering 2 meters above the ground. The turret could be made of armored glass to show its internal workings, resembling a WW2 bomber turret. They would be slow, not because of the engine, but because of the telecommand system, still very rough and faulty.

It's done Kris, thanks for the suggestion and approval!
Bruno, good idea, post that as a separate shot! :)
It could go in the general ideas task:

Something ocurred to me. The idea of using a portable jammer to disrupt radio commands could be used to deal with autoturrets (although, being turrets, they probably would use wire guidance) and any other robots that appear in the game.
The jammer would consume its battery quickly, limiting its power. It could also be quite large and cumbersome, sacrificing space for other items.
Great idea. It is even possible that something similar really existed. These were called Schildkröte project and they were radio-controlled weapons designed for ramming enemy planes and disabling their engines.
They were often reported as 'foo fighters' by the US pilots and they are even mentioned in official US Army documents. You can consider them predecessors of Haunebu.
Bruno: Having the design around is certainly a possibility, thanks for the suggestion! :)
It IS a great idea. :)
A lab design could be very cool...
That's a pity, I imagined it as a way to check things outside while enjoying some coffee in the mess room, far away from the cold, with a loudspeaker to pass orders but no microphone, because soldiers aren't expected to reply, only salute.
Well, it could be a "Foo fighter Mk. II" design appearing on some lab.
It's a GREAT idea, but I think the game developers said they want to keep the UFO stuff hidden.
Also, the game takes place entirely inside the base so there isn't really anywhere to fly.
Still, maybe they could use this as a prop or as secret plans in a laboratory? They said they might do that with the jetpack idea that Angela posted.
