For me its the Baba Yaga
>>61481289Yaga Mudda drone.
Frankly, I like 'em all. I just think they're neat!
I'd love to be in a SPAAG swatting these gay ugly things out of the sky.
>>61481522>30mmWhy are krauts pushing this meme calibre?
>>61481555Can't quite tell what that IFV is. Is that the Jap one with the 35mm?30mm airburst does the job good enough where it makes sense to use on something based on a wheeled APC like Boxer, Piranha or the GD LAV series. heeled APC. But if you do have a bigger vehicle to work with, like an MBT hull, then 35mm is definitely the better choice. Nothing wrong with the 40mm L/70 Bofors either but nobody has made a revolver cannon using that ammo.
>>61481555There's 35mm version.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyranger_35
Imagine hydrogen powered drones, using hydrogen fuel cells to fly even longer than they ever could with a battery
>>61481619>Nothing wrong with the 40mm L/70 Bofors either but nobody has made a revolver cannon using that ammo.Why would you need forced eject for a gun like 40mm?>>61481627Yeah, but the one krauts and frogs are buying are all in 30mm which baffles me.
>>61481763you'll have to fix H-engines sucking dick in efficiency first
>>61481350>Make biggest drone on the list>call it man tits
>>61482023I meant for the sheer purpose of allowing a higher rate of fire. The idea to throw a lot of shells at very quick in a short burst. Although once you're talking about 40mm you're going to run out of ammo pretty fast at those rates.
>>61481289This just occurred to me but China is essentially fighting a proxy war against Russia
>>61482139>higher rate of fireIs a meme, no one requires for larger calibres since it's a waste of ammo. Besides, L/70 already provides a decent rate of fire on its own.
>>61481350wtf I thought shaheds where tiny
>>61484417they r quite small but there are alot of types of shahed drones
>>61481350>Frankly, I like 'em all. I just think they're neat!What? Even Skat?
>>61481522Bait and destroy. Fly the cheat bait that might even had something to boost it's RCS at moderate altitude. Have the hunter killer with much better gear flying way the fuck up high enough to make targeting it hard or at least extremely expensive. Once the AAA unit takes the bait the hunter killer in turn targets the AAA unit and kills it. Don't take the bait? Well turns out that bait was actually the attacker this time. The only real solution is drones killing drones cheaply. The motors run hot so IR should be good enough for basic passive tracking. Not sure what to do about low altitude high speed drones flying 1m off the ground at 200km/h but I bet it's also some sort semi automatic system.
there's only one thing for it, ramming speed
>>61481555because it's a good compromise in terms of ballistics, explosive weight, sustained fire rate, ready ammo capacity, recoil impulse. instead of meme 35 and 40mm calibers there should be a two tiered VSHORAD gun system with 30x173 and some ~57mm cartridge

Cool, I'll dump some pics/videos/info that I find interesting here.Pic is a Baba Yaga drone, with people for a size reference.

Ukrainian manufacturer Wild Hornets tests drones with computer vision for targeting.>>61487168You mean this site?https://nicedrones.notion.site/Nice-Drones-89d013166d19466a91af45a559b5e05fThat wasn't me, but I did think it was pretty cool when I saw it posted here.
A Baba Yaga drone drops anti-tank mines repurposed as bombs.
A Russian vehicle hits a mine, and the explosion destroys the kamikaze drone that was also chasing it.
>>61482156China is field testing the survivability of their tactical golfcarts against the lethality of their drones.
>>61487500>It didn't explode by its own
>>61487496Mission failed successfully.
A mine-laying ground drone is destroyed by a kamikaze aerial drone.
>>61482156>t. retarded materialistHere's your masters in sociology degree
>>61487156The enemy drone will now be consumed by the attacking drone...
>>61487625The only degree gayer than sociology is theology.
A quadcopter downs another quadcopter by ramming it.(From what I've seen, the general strategy for ramming seems to be to hit the enemy's propeller from above with the body of your own drone.)
A kamikaze drone nearly strikes a passing fighter jet.
>>61481350Dark Sword is a really cool concept and I wish we knew more about it.
>>61487906They really do just copy shite, don't they?
>>61487446>tfw our $5m tank will be taken out by a drone with a grill tray that's cable-tied to sticks of wood
>>61488060Always have
>>61485230What are you talking about lad? What kind of ordinance is this hunter killer firing from an even higher altitude ? In this scenario sounds like both drones get shot rather quickly when they appear on radar. The drone does not hide from the radar it simply comes into range and then gets shot. Unless this hypothetical drone has hypersonic missiles it’s getting shot down.
weaponize it
>>61487197Kek the terminator is already here but we are just giving it a shitty battery and slow computer but it’s killing on its own now.
A low-hovering drone is downed by a stick thrown at it.
A motorcycle rider is taken out by some sort of explosive, dropped well before he passes by it.This one is interesting to me because it's highly unlikely that a timed fuze would go off at the right time, and it's also unlikely that a motorcycle would drive over a single mine laid in a road, so I think this one was actually remotely detonated by the drone operator.
>>61489944In support of the remote detonation theory:Ukrainian radio/electronics expert Serhii Flash writes about mines fitted with cheap LoRa modules (commonly used for IoT devices and sensors) that can be detonated remotely by drone operators.He writes a lot about things like this; his channel is a good one to follow if you're interested in that:https://t.me/serhii_flash
A Russian Telegram channel warns of "target designators" used by Ukrainians in conjunction with kamikaze drones.(I haven't seen any indication that either side has managed to implement radio direction finding on a drone yet, so I think the most plausible explanation is that this is a GPS tracker that reports its location over a cellular network or maybe a low-power protocol like LoRa.)
Russians use a hovering drone to stoke a campfire.
>>61489944Maybe it's one of these things.
>>61487604Still waiting for the next series of battlebots, but so far this will suffice

>>61481289Only cuckmericans fight using drones, thats why they are such pussyholes.If it ever came down to it i would simply refuse to use drones because it is so dishonorable
Drone pilots use an improvised explosive made from an aluminum can.(Does anyone know what group this is? I couldn't find anything on the logo in the video, but the green tape and the "Ragnarock Privet" patch at 0:20 indicate they're at least Ukrainian.)>>61487102>«Baba Yaga» near Bakhmut: border guards from the «Pomsta» brigade destroy juicy Russian targetsCool video. FYI for the rest of the thread: if, like me, you don't speak Ukrainian, there are English subtitles.

A drone drops caltrops on a road.
An anti-tank mine fitted with a tail and stabilizing fins, presumably to be dropped from a drone as a bomb.(The writing reads "For Pavlo Petrychenko!", in reference to a well-known Ukrainian activist who was recently killed in combat.)
>>61493534esp32 meshtastic board would do the job straight out of the box. Probably cheaper overall too.

One drone downs another by ramming, then the downed drone explodes on the ground. (I think this may be my favorite ramming video out of the ones I've seen so far.)Catbox, because the original soundtrack goes pretty hard:https://files.catbox.moe/i83cpm.mp4
>>61495668Just came across a video of some of these being dropped.
Can't wait for Destinus to commercialise their more advanced drones. The simpler ones are already in Ukraine.

Serhii Sternenko, a major fundraiser for the Ukrainian drone effort, tells of a drone with autonomous guidance that continued on to hit a tank after its control link was jammed. (Note that "REB" in the screenshot is a transliteration of the Ukrainian acronym for electronic warfare.)I'll attach the video in the next post.

I'm surprised to have not seen yet a drone with a "shotgun" weapon to point at a target.>fly over target>trigger your ammo>shred everyone in front while the drone is pushed away>fly backBut I can understand it's a short range weapon that would require to be very quick, dropping bomb is more efficient and less riskyIt could be very useful to hunt other drones.

>>61487168That was me, but I'm merely a re-poster of what a Ukieanon shared this one time a couple of months ago.
>>61491290First time I've seen this logo, too. I think they're new since the impromptu ball-bearing explosives haven't been used by the established units for a while now.
