while you sit in your shitty 1942 T60 tank with the hatches welded shut?

Apparently this thing in Ukraine is about to get sporty.

If this story is true a massive amount of drones are going to be headed to Russias front line while the tanks and troops are stuck in the spring mud.

Eminent drone attack

“Recently, it has become known that, in terms of drones, buyers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have bought up almost the entire market of FPV drone components in China, according to indirect estimates, by 50-100 thousand units,”

Ukraine fighting a war with Chinese shit, beating Russia with their alies crap.
Can we buy tickets to this event?

This is not a Ukraine thread,  this is not a EV thread, this is not a covid thread.
It is not even a EV drone with covid attacking Ukraine thread.

Forget the war aspect.

I would shoot sporting drone clays all day long. Instead of them flying across you and away. They come straight at you from various points.

We can’t be that far away from making them cheap enough

Initially I would think the same, but the reality may be different because the warhead is actually a shape charge with a standoff fuze, so a large part of that thing is just empty space.  So it might weigh about half of what you expect.

If the shotgun sets the charge off you are pretty well screwed anyway.

You know that the PG7V is almost entirely hollow - right? Most of the weight is the boost charge and rocket and neither of those are attached.

Yes.  Imagine drones with an explosive charge, and facial recognition.  Have swarms of them over cities just flying around recording everything.  Half would be on the charger, rotating out at a consistent rate so they are always there.  Yeah, I can imagine.

Those warheads weigh almost nothing and racing drones have an insane amount of thrust. Way more than the DJI drone you're probably thinking of.

Next up in 21st century weapons development is an intercontinental drone delivery vehicle that drops a million drones over major cities with an explosive charge of one ounce and a thermal seeker with proximity fuzing.  Regular Terminator level warfare is where we’re headed. All we need now is AI directed ISSR and AI C2. Great.

Oh, they can.

I have a 5” that can easily got 150+ MPH straight up. Those look like 7”s - and they don’t need to be able to do power loops or come back and land.

There are lots of vids of them doing just that.  Physics isn't hard if you can do math.  Those warheads are about 2 lbs.  Range is a couple miles with around a 20 min flight time.

I guess I'd try to counter by finding where the drones are being made, resort to nuclear weapons, and be barbaric to the population. Otherwise you'd get picked off little by little.

Warheads were the last iteration. Now they are turning the launch tube into the drone chassis.

Those 120mm canon rounds weight just under 100 pounds each, about 75 times more a FPV drone can carry.

At this point I think it safe to say Ukes are the subject mater experts on IEDD, Improvised Explosive Drone Devices. I don't doubt they can get them off the ground.

It is actually is an EV thread. They battery has to be kept small to offset weight. With increase thrust comes increased power drain. Those aren't going to lotter very long.

Yes, including the rocket, which I gather is the majority of the weight.

With the booster and motor yes. Without those they're just about a kilogram.
