  • fixed wing types made of waxed cardboard that come on pallets
  • commercial/civilian drones dropping regular old grenades and being used as FPV with an RPG warhead
  • "Drone bombers" using homemade grenades that carry several payloads
  • 4 wheeled "ATV" drones dropping anti-tank mines
  • "PWC/Jet Ski" type seaborne drones being used to great effect against the Black Sea fleet.
All we need are small land based drones (crabs/wheeled/tracked) for AP/AT use and we have all the bases covered.

Landing a drone with a thermite grenade over the engine compartment probably would work well enough.

Jesus man......are you some kind of boomer?



FIRST PERSON VIEW.



Was a guy with a camera floating above?

A couple FPV drones, launched from a larger mother ship drone with a camera would be basically a budget predator drone .  Seems that would
Be viable too.

Russians are droning the Ukies the same exact way. And plenty of video of Ukrainians up close and fighting with rifles at close range.

Hell I am far from a Uke bro and know your statement was pants on head

I agree.

People supporting an aggressor and a legitimate bad guy is an interesting moral quandary

I agree.

The Germans thought shotguns were unsporting too

You are not the only one who doesn't know what FPV stands for.

Anyone?


FPV Drone.

It's annoying how everything is called a fucking "drone" now. if a person is in direct control, it's a fucking remote control plane/aircraft. "drone" means it's autonomous

They've been called drones since the Ryan Firebee of the 1950s.
