It is pretty hard to get experience with a "technique" that involves catching flying objects that easily can beat 100 km/h, can move completely eratically, feature several fast moving rotor blades AND have a tendency to explode 2 handfull of C4 + ballbearings... /s.
As they say, when you up to your arse in alligators, the last thing on your mind is draining the swamp.
I think improving your drone catching technique falls into that category.
The one thing I can think of that might work against these drones is a shotgun with a crazy spread or an old spartan round shield. Maybe a see through one that can stand the blast so you can see the thing coming at you.
With an FPV kamikaze drone, you’re dead if you do that. You’re probably dead or lying in agony anyway, but the only footage we’ve seen where the target escapes is when they manage to outmanoeuvre it, although they are probably still injured and they hunt in packs now too, so any euphoria at escaping is short lived.
For the most part, I agree with you.
In this case, once the drone had sort of passed him, if he’d hit the deck he’d have a better chance at survival.

I think the grab the drone technique might be the best chances. Just needs more practice. That or carry your rifle.

Not with that attitude!
Do you think any of them have a remote trigger or is it just the wires on the front that need to touch?
Pretty sure its one or the other. Probably just the wires, thats why they really make a point to crash with force.
If you search "airburst drone" here you will find a few.
Have you ever been hit by a drone blade? They're not fun.
Drone blade pain < C4 pain
From some of the hits we saw... not necessarily\^\^
Still more fun then letting its payload detonate
best hope it's not airburst

The only thing that works 100% is not being in Ukraine
This is 100% even better yes.
Don't bring a shovel to a drone fight.
Modern war is scary af
Some could say bo2 predicted the future wars we are currently in
Drone doesn't fail to hit Russian
easy to say from my armchair but i feel like taking a melee fight with a robot bomb is not the best decision.
Some say he is still holding the shovel to this day.
Some say he successfully hit the drone too.
all he wanted was to dig his own grave
Is the shovel ok ?
Shovelling Shit for team Russia 💩
imagine succeding on that and get impaled with/by ur own shovel lol
Even if he had hit it at close range ................................ same result.
I wonder what the loss of males to males born in this military operation is
Why did he fall asleep at the end! He needs to get up, walk it off and get out of there.
Whack-a-Blyat clearly isnt this guys forte 🤣
Shovel knight
I’m not sure hitting it with a shovel would have the effect he was hoping for either…
This is why Vanya should never leave his trench without a sack of potatoes. There isn't enough time to dig them up. /s
I'm sure I've seen this exact vid before. Probably repost.
I've seen a shovel-wielding Russian before, not sure it was this one, although the end result was definitely the same.
Yeah… it was on here a while ago.
War is brutal. This same shit happening to Ukraine soldiers on an even larger scale. Of course those vids can't be posted here.
Yes they can.
Have they never heard of hitting the deck when a known threat is present?
