they take FPV drones, same kind you use for filming fpv videos or freestyle stunts but they strap C4 bombs unto them and use them as disposable explosive missiles.
>>64764448Yes we all know it's very funny how we act like attaching a bomb to a RC drone is some earth shattering revelation. I do wonder if we'll see adaptation with MALEs into one way suicide drones. We have the ghost bat, seems like the logical next step is load it with explosives
Vely implessive, but lemembe'quantity
>>64764448Where can I get inflatable tanks like that?
If this was chinese, we'd all be laughing.If this was turkish, comments would be shitflinging.I'm curious how the american version will go.
>>64764483It will be shilled as the greatest advancement in something ever. People who previously shit talked drones with be acting like drones are the new meta and shilling the crap out of them.
>>64764469>>64764483>>64764490>we're experimenting with drone swarm attacks What's the problem here?
>>64764448howuch does each drone cost?
the increasingly fast use of newer and cheaper drones is an interesting new part of warfighting capabilities for many countries but it's not the 'wowzers! biggest new thing replacement for EVERYTHING' that people tend to hype it up as. It's a fantastic tool for recon and quick, tactical level strikes that'll give battalion level commander, hell even possible company and platoon level commanders a cheap, quick and simple dirty solution alongside the ability to use it in dedicated units ala ukraine without having to go up the chain of command and fly in far more expensive ordinance, or even just using it with the higher grade munitions for better effect.
>>64764482Ali express sells them for about 2k
>>64764448WoooooooooooooowAs always, US military technology is at least 10 years ahead everyone else
America living in 2070
>>64764448Those look nasty as fuck. Glad to see us updating effectively. Hope we can mass produce them for cheap.
>>64764865>but it's not the 'wowzers! biggest new thing replacement for EVERYTHING' that people tend to hype it up as.Russian losses personnel 80% dronesTanks 90% drones
>>64764957personnel losses on the ukrainian side are also around 70-80% drones, according to ukie stabilization point staff
>>64764957What I mean is it's a good weapon but it would be useless if it was just a couple drone operators on the frontlines. The only real way drones can replace some of these things is if, or really when swarm drone technology becomes a thing, and when AI are piloting them fully and competently. As it stands in ukraine, they've been able to use them against russia extremely well but still used in tandem with infantry, tanks, planes, helicopters and naval assets. In an extremely simplified way of saying it, drones are being used like artillery shells, just ones you can directly control and see through, a tool of attrition.
>>64764964Why are russia and ukraine using impact fuses and 1 pilot for each drone. This is significanly more lethal as 1 operator can deploy 5 air burst munitions like in this demonstration...
>>64764448Implessive.
>>64764448I am old enough to remember when you could get kicked off Arma 3 servers for doing that
>>64764448half of the components made in china LMAO
>>64764448It's Neros. They're an FPV startup which has experience in Ukraine, and that's the downside: it's not a MANET swarm, it's analog piloted quadcopters. Thirdie stuff. But at least it's getting them out there training
