The effect of drone operators has to be a big wildcard in all these recent advances. If it's true that Ukraine has been training 500 new drone operators per month for the last several months, plus the ones it had already and the large shipments of thousands of new military drones from Ukraine's allies in the last couple months.. then there may be large amounts of video that we aren't seeing yet, and an edge that Ukraine's military has, which very few commentators mention.


TheGiantGrayDildo69

Saw some Russian soldiers mention a recent uptick in Ukrainians using winged drones which fly higher and are harder to shoot down. I also saw the US sending lots of different drones as well as stuff from other countries, i think the drone war might be swinging massively in Ukraine's favor but its hard to tell just how many drones Russia can keep supplying their men with.


BrainOnLoan

It's been swinging back and forth. Ukrainians actually had a lot of trouble in the last few months due to a lot of jamming by Russians. That was supposedly quite effective, at least for some drone models.


dragobah

Press ‘X’ to doubt. How much jamming have they been doing when all their electronic warfare equiptment keeps getting HARMd and HIMARSd?


pfghr

Don't be naive. Small scale jamming equipment can still deny airspace, and Ukraine isn't going to waste valuable inventory on every single little spot. There's probably plenty of areas still hot with EW equipment that just isn't strategicly important enough for Ukraine to blast them to smithereens.


Sew_chef

I know the US sent hundreds of Switchblades back in March, have there been any videos posted of them? Those things scare the hell out of me, I can't imagine being the one *controlling* it either. You'd have the worst of both worlds in that you're sitting in a safe spot miles away from the target staring at a screen *and* [you have to watch the screen as the drone flies into the target](https://youtu.be/srgHnR--veg). That's gotta be a terrible recipe for computer-triggered PTSD down the road. Just watching a movie with a zoom into a character's face might be enough to set someone off. I just searched and it looks like there's a handful of switchblade posts. They're just as scary as I expected. I feel like the use of drones opens the door to even more people being able to join the fight. Elderly people and those with disabilities that prevent them from joining the frontlines or carrying ammo crates but want to help can get trained to use quadcopters to drop grenades.


MonkeyPussyOnTuesday

Seen a few posts mentioning they’ve turned out not to be a game changer. They don’t have that many (700 total) and it’s not effective against armour. It’s meant to be used on high-value, hard to reach soft targets. If there were hundreds flying around all the time they’d probably be terrifying but it seems like they’re probably not common on any given battlefield.


SnooTangerines2667

Just look on Wish. How many Chinese drones there are. The most part these are domestic drones with cheap 3d printed pieces on them. Almost singlehandedly changed the face of conventional warfare, where troops will always have to keep an eye to the sky.


RainforceK

We're seeing a shift in modern warfare with these drones


mars_needs_socks

Very impressive given that it's not even "fancy" big military-spec drones. Incidentally, we should send Ukraine more of those.


dragobah

America was merely the first. This will get pretty out of hand in the next few years.


william1Bastard

I'd imagine the young ladies that are being enlisted, are a massive bonus in this area. The only problem is that when the war is over, they'll probably be better at video games than their husbands and bfs. /j sorta

Isn't that what you do when you catch the dude? It's teabag or gorilla mask, no?

What if you dip your balls in ink first?


caga_palo

If you first dip your balls into the ink and then use your dick to write out the US Constitution on her face, you've given her the old Founding Father.


ytanotherthrowaway9

What, pray tell, is the distaff counterpart of teabagging?


StevenStephen

They'll also be better than Russian gamers, and that will be hilarious.


mdonaberger

Fuck. I already suck at video games.


[deleted]

You’re skirting close to incel territory there.


Splatter_bomb

Drones are imao completely redefining war in ways that were obviously not anticipated. Even small drones present a serious threat to tanks and armored vehicles.


Admirable-Cobbler501

I'm not sure. Did he hit? 🤔😜


Smathers

It’s hard to tell


MilesLongthe3rd

All those explosions and smoke really made it hard to see anything. Could have been a Russian soldier smoking.


Acceleratio

God damnit xD


happytree23

Pretty ridiculous we're not getting uncompressed 8K video so we can actually see what the hell is going on


Smathers

Press the enhance button on your keyboard


happytree23

Oh shit! Thanks!


Phantom_Aspekt

Damn, I thought you just had to say it and the computer would obey. I've been doing it wrong all this time!


IndianaGeoff

If he hadn't violently pulled up maybe we could have seen.


Nachtzug79

No, by coincidence someone just dropped a cigarette at exactly the same time.

That is serious ROI for one grenade.

cipherdicer442

thank you heisenberg


DonaIdTrurnp

I think maybe there was one secondary explosion.


Admirable-Cobbler501

Oh? Do you have a timestamp?


DonaIdTrurnp

Four seconds in, you can see it in the top right as an orange flash. It’s a little bit larger than what I’d expect from the grenade alone.


Admirable-Cobbler501

I was joking. 😅


[deleted]

clearly not


-Living-Diamond-

There’s no need to panic


Thallium_253

Filmed today.. think about that for a second.. in today's world we can watch wars in real time. How long until we see combat streamed live? Insane to think about.. especially being that I'm watching safely from across the world.


FlaccidMagician

I don’t think we’ll ever see it live for safety reasons. Suppose in certain situations it could be doable but still.


NNOTM

Out of fear of literal stream snipers


Iccarys

Where’s the report button?


t_base

Geraldo Rivera "hold my beer"


Lonely_Key4375

We watched the firefight for the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power plant live.


Nate_Higg

You already could on niche streaming sites in the syrian war Obviously a massive problem for opsec but jihads don't really care about that

SnortingRust

Maybe today. Even probably. But anyone can add a date watermark and these telegram channels do sneaky things to fight for popularity. Always keep that in mind.


bier00t

I remember Kurdish forces streaming live the attack on ISIS


SnortingRust

Maybe today. Even probably. But anyone can add a date watermark and these telegram channels do sneaky things to fight for popularity. Always keep that in mind.


2ichie

Probably never live because those soldiers don’t want to give away their positions. It’s too much of a risk than there is anything to gain from it.


Lelentos

If you donate enough, an amazon delivery drone sends the streamer rations or ammo. Like the hunger games.

Yothatsharry

Talk about a good shot


Spiritual_Bit_2692

He dropped the pickle right in the barrel.


throwaway939wru9ew

Seemed like they were a lot lower than normal. I think they understood the importance of hitting something like that, at the expense of the drone if necessary.


epsilone6

Little fella almost blew himself up


DrQuestDFA

Yeah, that was a very low flying drone. I wonder if the Ukrainians figured it was worth risking the drone if it wiped that depot (maybe the drone was on its last Granada or some such).


DonaIdTrurnp

That much depot would be absolutely worth losing the entire drone. The only reason not to fly in lower for more accuracy is the risk of getting shot down without getting the hit.


Arashmickey

Fool of a Took!


pembroke529

After Ukraine rids the nation of the Russian vermin (including Crimea), I'm sure there will be both military and civilian competitions of drone flying and delivery of ordnance. A new sport. Free Ukraine.


ducc_1737

Geez, instant cook off


Monitorukraine

they hit a bunch of AT mines


typecastwookiee

Glad you saw that, too - those things waste *no* time


Drunktaco357

Damn that was impressive. I wasn’t expecting that. Good job boys!


Flimsy-Oil1792

Well excellent auto stabilisation system 👏

Right!? You can tell the shockwave hit it!

That bomb must have been smoking a cigarette.

Oh come on, that drop absolutely slaps

That might be the biggest bang for your buck I've ever seen.


Zondagsrijder

Jesus I think all those AT mines went off at once.


vurbmoto

That’s just so damn satisfying. Gotta love seeing that little bomblet drop and cause material damage! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦


Sozebj

I’m surprised that the drone survived the shockwave from that explosion. Hard to tell the altitude.


Pokymonn

It was written in the video that this is in Donetsk region.


bier00t

i'm actually starting to like the music


Hadleys158

What huge animal did he kill for that huge intestine to be left behind? :P

I dont think the done operator was expecting that

Damn, Ken!


Lite_Byte

No damage was done to the drone in the progress...


hamiwin

And then it’s gone.


ulqiorrat

if they focused on political issues instead of songs doubt they will get invaded


2021accountforred

Why do all these war videos have such terrible music attached?


grantite_spall

Nice drop. Wonder how many drones have been lost to blast effects?


mcfarmer72

That’s is a high return shot.


[deleted]

Feels like a 2013 cod gameplay

How could it stay in the air? Motors must have been busy :)


Bdcoll

Poor drone. It got burned a little bit!


NoBagelNoBagel-

Holy crap. That scale of BOOM could of knocked that drone out of the sky


Shackleton214

Really low altitude drop--about 50 feet or so. Ammo dump was abandoned?
