The vids are nice but their much anticipated counter offensive this year was a failure.  Drones make nice kill videos but they don't take any territory back.

Regardless of what you think of this war it’s a lot better than American soldiers being the ones to “discover” the horrors of drone warfare.

That’s a good thing.

The “first person view” “pilot” flew a drone directly into Ivan’s chest.    

They are getting very skilled, on Both sides.      The future is now.  

Soon, you won’t need to fly it to the final contact.    Just designate the target and move on.   Most of the Skill will be unnecessary.

They've got a lot of manpower they can conscript, though, way more than Ukraine has. And apparently, they have no objections at all to a very high ratio of lost-to-killed. Have an authoritarian government in a culture of unquestioning support for "defending the motherland" has advantages. That concept applies in other situations in the world, too.

One of the better FPV freestyle pilots I follow.

This is him having fun withiut a care in the world.   Imagine building searches in the future when an FPV drone decides to pretend to be an Face Hugger from Aliens with a miniclaymore attached to it.

You can run but you will only die tired and out of breath.


Having 3 or 4 FPV drones on the back of a pickup/technical that you can activate and fly from inside a moving vehicle, maybe even dropped out of a helicopter to scout an LZ before a team does a fastrope insertion.


I have flown one of my FPV rigs from inside of a vehicle and covered 3-5 miles on a small 4-5 minute pack.    Covering up to 100 yards to either side of the road while terrain following 5-10 feet off the ground and avoiding obstacles and shit.

Lot of interesting skills to learn and develop if you have some imagimation.

Drone warfare really came to for forefront in the recent Azerbaijan and Armenia conflict. Azerbaijan basically forced a truce in a few weeks, in large part because they leveraged Turkish drones that the Armenians had no counter for.

Now in Ukraine, we are seeing various low cost drones including:
  • 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.
