@@FriendxA Not these specific FPV drones. These are literally hobbyist grade FPV drones with technology that has only been available for about 10 years.
@CivDiv you show a linearly polarized Yagi-Uda antenna (more in a moment). Most drone (expecially FPV) antennas are circularly polarized and even if linearly polarized will shift between vertical and horizontal as the drone maneuvers (hence the circular polarization) which will mismatch with your base station antenna. This can be cutting your performance in half as well as making you susceptible to EW and generally annoying you in the field. I am a USAF vet turned Research and Development Engineer in the relevant space. I believe I can assist in making your job easier while increasing effectiveness if we can connect privately. Let me know if I can assist you. I can not go beyond the obvious (like polarization mismatch above) in public. Back to the antenna: Yagi-Uda antenna (the xmas tree) have physical dimensions dependent on the frequency they are tuned to. Showing it in video or just someone there snapping a picture shows the enemy what frequency you are going to be on. This is why all USAF antenna for systems like this have radomes. Take an old pair of bdu trousers, cut off all the metal, and stick the antenna in the leg. This will both hide your frequency and break the straight lines computer vision systems are so good at finding. EVERYONE in the AO should be doing something like this as SOP. Also that is something you should really cut from public imaging. To everyone else please upvote this for visibility.
Commenting mostly for visibility of your comment, but also would be interesting to know your opinion - do you think the patch antenna would work better with the circularly polarized mushroom antenna on the drone? Also its so weird that in Ukraine different teams seem to be doing their own things in terms of drone warfare. Why not create some kind of structure within the army that would gather all the data from all the units using drones and manufacturing drones and process it, find best solutions and distribute them among all units, standardize the equipment and methods of operation at least a little bit. Because it seems like some drone units are using very sophisticated technology and tactics such as mothership drones which repeat the signals and drop off FPV drones in target areas, while other units use very basic and simple FPV warfare like how hobbyists operate.
@@georgewashington1621 2 questions that are fairly straightforward to understand IF you have enough background knowledge. I will fill that knowledge in for you but it will take a little bit. Let me go in reverse order. Sorry there are no TLDR answers the will make sense without some knowledge. The US model has had almost 250 years of refinement to land on the single command and control (C&C) structure for combined arms. This maximizes unit effectiveness by always getting best practices standardized, keeping units coordinated, etc (see the difference in performance between Italy and Germany in WWII). That said, it is not the most efficient model and it is VERY hard to do. To have this much control you, by definition, take away autonomy and that means you ALWAYS have to exert that control. IF you can conquer that mountain then you have to keep people from acting autonomously which means you have to meet their every logistical need. If you don't get soldiers every bullet, scrap of chow, pair of socks and underwear, drop of water, liter of fuel, etc then they will not respect that you have things in hand. Let this play out in your mind on how hard it is to supply every single need every second of every day to 500,000 people in a war and how morale, effectiveness, and discipline would break down when you fail if you are claiming that much control. Now because that is so hard most armies in history and often today do not run that model. They run one more similar to kings, dukes, barons, etc in the past. The king has some power to control troops through his subordinates but they also have some autonomy (and some responsibility for failure I might add). you push down the level at which logistics are done making things much cheaper and easier to command in exchange for some loss in c&c. You may WANT to give every unit the best drones and associated equipment, but the reality of the situation is you can't fulfill that all the time so you give each unit some responsibility to fill the gaps and the autonomy to do it how they can. When you can't provide socks to your troops and they have to get their own it doesn't help morale if you then yell at them about the brand they got them from... The units are using whatever skills, knowledge, connections, and resources they have to do their job the best they can. Some have better levels of those things than others. I am offering to bring one of them up for @civdiv unit. ------------ To understand a contested battlespace think of it like a lot of people in a field trying to talk in pairs or groups while moving around and others trying to disrupt them (this is exactly what it is on a scale that is as big as the battlespace actually; they are just talking in RF waves not compression waves). For someone to interrupt you talking to your partner they have to be in the cone one of you are listening to and louder than your partner. The more your pair knows about each other's location and the better technology you have to listen to and focus your own voice in a cone that only includes each other the better chance you have to not be disrupted. If you had infinitely good tracking gimbals and aiming and some technology that let you speak in a straight line like a laser then you would be very hard to disrupt because someone would have to get exactly in the way. As your tracking or aiming technology get worse it becomes more and more likely that someone else will get into one of your 2 cones and have their cone aimed at one of you and have their volume be louder than yours. Hopefully you can see that what you want is whatever antennae will give you the narrowest beam possible that you can keep aimed at your radio pair. The technology of the antennae is only important in this manner (generally). Patch antennae are not really that directional (typically 120+degrees ... this is really unit specific), and if they are using a yagi-uda with that many elements they obviously have better aiming that would allow them to use a better solution for the second channel (they have separate video and control feeds most likely). This is the kind of stuff that defines a unit's effectiveness which is relevant to the other question. (EDIT) let me just add you can polarize different antennae technologies differently. You can make a circularly polarized yagi-uda. In fact you can make a yagi-uda with a switch to polarize it however you want including handedness. There are even better technologies out there that will give even more directionality to the base station if you are willing to give up some universality.
AFAIK there are teams in the background helping them build drones, also there are channels to exchange best practices. Diversity can be a plus here: if there are many different types of equipments they are harder to jam or evade, because each of them has different characteristics. Also like he mentioned: the mission and the environment can make one type of device superior to the other one.
Tip: Connect the FC to the receiver with a quick connect (these black plastic things that a pin can be inserted into on one side and just a pin on the other side, look for USB to UART and you will see what I mean) and bring extra sets of receivers + the respective transmitters to your position. If the frequency of your attached receiver is jammed there, you can switch the receiver out in the field, without having to solder.
I'm not an rc guy, so forgive a stupid question, but for my FM radio stuff, the equipment is easily tunable to any frequency, our only restriction is LICENSING. Are drone signals not easily adjustable? Cos on my 200W FM transmitter, I punch the frequency into the front panel....
@@DJSockmonkeyMusic You can't. RC is mostly packet based these days and set at a specific narrow frequency. But there are different protocols operating at different frequencies. ELRS for example has kit for both 2.4ghz and 900mhz.
@@richard3051 no, you're totally right 🤣 didn't occur to me until you mentioned it and then I remembered the massive tunable coils inside the 2U rackmount cases... Sorry, I had a little derp moment.
UART means Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter, it's a standard protocol for devices or components to communicate and also known as serial (as in "serial ports" you might find on old PCs or printers). You only need two wires, one to transmit (TX) and one to receive (RX), although there are usually two more for power and ground. The TX port of one device is connected to the RX of the other and vice-versa. It's extremely common.
Been in the FPV circle for over 10yrs building my own etc . I liked team black sheep stuff for long range . TBS discovery Pro long range with UHF got couple miles range with a antenna tracker 👌🏻👍🏻
In the hobby, the video systems go like this - analog, "digital" (The original digital - the DJI ecosystem), Walksnail(digital), and HDzero(also digital) each with their pros and cons. Also for goggles, you really only need the DJI goggles (unless you're using other digital fpv systems) because you can get an analog adapter for it. There are various video receiver modules to attach to goggles as well which boost reception, and there are a variety of video transmitters on the market with differing output power - select the higher output ones for better signal penetration. Yes I'm planning on building my own drone lol just not a kamikaze one.
I recommend extending video and power cables NOT the coaxial antenna cables. its been tested in this lovely community, having coax between your receiver and yagi or cloverleaf can have weird effects on signal strenghth.
@@pianojacq yes, I am mainly talking about antenna extensions. They lower effectiveness with any kind of antenna, circulars patch even the standard antennas

Remember, the longer the blades used as propellers, the more weight you can carry (via payload). Pretty sure most know that, yet it should still be being improved upon. Better performance equals deadlier capabilities. You can even mount the propellers higher on each side from one another to accommodate long blades on a small chassis.
Ive been building FPV quads for over 5 years... always knew it was a matter of time before they were being used as weapons... a civilian can hit a target at 10 miles away for a few hundred $$. I just hope this doesnt cause a ban. These weren't designed to be used as weapons

It may not be a major concern for a soldier firing rounds off all the time, but if you spend any significant time soldering, definitely use a respirator. If you can. Organic vapour with activated charcoal.
@@silviodanteog Yes, But the difference is in World War 1, 2 and even today.

Likely not, typical internet troll. SO , Yes the government will take the ability for us to build our drones because of this.
I remember someone making a scale B-17 bomber FPV plane, which they flew through a FPV flight chair to simulate actual controls. Doubt it would be feasible in the battlefield, but would be cool to imagine none the less imo lol.
I didn't realize you were Canadian until I heard you pronounce "solder". Makes me flinch every time haha. Keep up the good work and the good videos Brother!
I only clicked the video to read the comments. I just wanted to point out that I also immediately paused the video before it even hit 1 second. Hope my FBI agent is doing well, didn't mean to trigger any alarms 😂
Been building and flying for a few years now, freestyle drones for fun. There is a big learning curve building, programming and flying them. Fun as hell though.
Awesome, I've always been into networking and programming but ever since the Russia-Ukraine war drones have been the most interesting topic I've studied in a bit! Thanks for giving more information on this topic!
I could probably write you guys some integrated control software so you can just use a laptop (or something like a steam deck) instead of carrying around a bunch of controllers and goggles. Pair it with something like an SDR so you can change frequencies ad-hoc, there are definitely some things we can do to improve the situation.
Wonder if you could start using alternative frequencies, like 433MHz, Lora modules, for control. Maybe 900-something for video. If they are jamming 2.4 and 5Ghz, should be good on different frequencies. Less attenuation on lower frequencies may help during the terminal attack phase of flight. If you try it, I'd like to know how it goes.
The engineering is magnificent and these things are what scares me more than anything else on the battlefield. Knowing that your movements could be monitored at ANY TIME without your knowledge.

I got back into this hobby EXACTLY for this your awesome
You’re killing me Marine !!
Keep the vids coming and watch your six !!
Semper Fidelis
Literal insane monster
shut up z boy
This guy really showed us how to make kamikaze drones...I love this channel
We need a part 2 of this
Remember, the longer the blades used as propellers, the more weight you can carry (via payload). Pretty sure most know that, yet it should still be being improved upon. Better performance equals deadlier capabilities.
You can even mount the propellers higher on each side from one another to accommodate long blades on a small chassis.
Не совсем так. Есть шаг винта. И kv мотора. От них тоже зависит многое.

Here before this gate taken down , keep up the good work
haha I thought the same :D
Same
Bud it’s a UA-cam video it’s fine
Ive been building FPV quads for over 5 years... always knew it was a matter of time before they were being used as weapons... a civilian can hit a target at 10 miles away for a few hundred $$. I just hope this doesnt cause a ban. These weren't designed to be used as weapons
Yo, Civ div! Keep up the good fight brother. Stay safe.
Great, this will enhance my knowledge for FPV drone usage in Minecraft. Random thing but you've got pretty good skin for being out there and probably not washing on a regular daily basis. Low key kinda jealous. Stay safe out there as always.
Thanks!
noice
Oh god how did I just see this 😂 BRO seriously thank you. Been writing some names on bombs, yours is gonna be on another, I’ll try and capture a photo of it, and hopefully video soon. This is going straight to our FPV mission. I appreciate you, I hope you know that
@@CivDiv youtube blocks hides a lot of comments. Maybe his short"thanks"triggered a bot protection filter
Дякую друже!
Fascinating view. I've been missing this type of coverage
It is surreal listening to detailed instructions for the manufacture of "flying IEDs". One can only hope the wrong types are not taking notes here.
I love the state and the freedoms she’s blessed me with !
@dogdog2000 H.R.8070 section 1722. DJI was just banned in the United States. Showing shit like this is not helping us in the states.
Lmfao we getting into lists with this one
It my completely uneducated opinion it’s fine as long as u don’t search for it
Bud it’s a UA-cam video your fine
@@PnwPryo bud it’s a joke
Def on the watchlist now
I'm an fpv drone hobbyist and have been watching this particular scenario play out. It's both heartbreaking and necessary for the world today.
It may not be a major concern for a soldier firing rounds off all the time, but if you spend any significant time soldering, definitely use a respirator. If you can. Organic vapour with activated charcoal.
Here before this gets taken down
Such a clear eyed and primary account most savage warfar in Europe in a long time. Keep up the great work, love your insights.
Would like to see the use of shape charges /paint can claymores on them very easy to make and blasting caps shouldnt be to hard to find
There are many videos where an FPV kamikazi drone is literally carrying an RPG warhead, thats a shape charge effect warhead
You have been financially assisted my g, Heal fast jah bless and stay safe
Thanks for helping my home land 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
If you was my son I'll be proud Man, you are a Warrior and damn good War Reporter.
Keep on!
this guy went from fortnite videos to actually going to war. respect ❤️
Fpv is the best hobby
i better watch this before it gets taken down XD
nah im def on the watchlist rn
Ive built many fpv drones.
My hearts breaking.
This video is the beginning of the end of recreational fpv.
No it isn't.
I've been hearing fpv is ending since I got into it 10 years ago. Fly on and fuck Russia
Planes have been used for war since WW1 they’re still very popular for non combat don’t worry lol
@@silviodanteog Yes, But the difference is in World War 1, 2 and even today. You cant sit down at a table and assemble 5 airplanes from hobby parts in 2 hours and then fly them remotely to kill someone an hour after being built. Did you even think out your comment? Likely not, typical internet troll. SO , Yes the government will take the ability for us to build our drones because of this.
@@nielsB_FPV Your the problem with FPV. You haven't been at it very long either. You'll learn.
I remember someone making a scale B-17 bomber FPV plane, which they flew through a FPV flight chair to simulate actual controls. Doubt it would be feasible in the battlefield, but would be cool to imagine none the less imo lol.
We getting put on a watchlist with this one 🔥🔥
thx for the tutorial🙏🏽🙏🏽
I didn't realize you were Canadian until I heard you pronounce "solder". Makes me flinch every time haha. Keep up the good work and the good videos Brother!
I only clicked the video to read the comments. I just wanted to point out that I also immediately paused the video before it even hit 1 second. Hope my FBI agent is doing well, didn't mean to trigger any alarms 😂
"Totally didn't watch neither download the video"
Been building and flying for a few years now, freestyle drones for fun. There is a big learning curve building, programming and flying them. Fun as hell though.
Why not get a drone force job?
@masonmishcon I'm old and have a decent job. Maybe if I was in my 20s..lol
Woooooooo time to be on a alphabet watch list let’s goooooooooooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Feel like I had to watch this first, have a feeling it’s not going to be around to long 😂
Geez, bringing one of those puppies up into the sky is a real artform! You, sir, are an artist!
Thank you, now time to download
Very interesting, I didn't realise that it was quite that complicated. All the best.
Fun school project
Awesome, I've always been into networking and programming but ever since the Russia-Ukraine war drones have been the most interesting topic I've studied in a bit! Thanks for giving more information on this topic!
Been a minute. Good to see you are safe.
BTW: the "L" is silent 😅
honestly its so dope to get such a cool insight to the conflict and your activities
Gonna watch that real quick before it’s gets taken down lol
Wow, I think the world learned alot from this.
Props to the editor. Dudes putting in work!
Thank you for the work you do for Ukraine!
I could probably write you guys some integrated control software so you can just use a laptop (or something like a steam deck) instead of carrying around a bunch of controllers and goggles. Pair it with something like an SDR so you can change frequencies ad-hoc, there are definitely some things we can do to improve the situation.
Civ Div drunk telling us about bombing drones
It’s a red bull omg 😂
@@CivDivso drunk on redbull you showed us your boobs, man.
@@CivDivsure is fitting to drink something that gives you wings, while going on about drones n stuff lmao
Hellooooooo sponsorship? Lol
Glad youre doing what youre doing.
Who knew my bf3 skills would become the real world meta
its a tv missile with throttle control
@@runforestrunfpv4354 control my throttle
Wonder if you could start using alternative frequencies, like 433MHz, Lora modules, for control. Maybe 900-something for video. If they are jamming 2.4 and 5Ghz, should be good on different frequencies. Less attenuation on lower frequencies may help during the terminal attack phase of flight. If you try it, I'd like to know how it goes.
Thanks for the tip. My nan didn't stand a chance
The engineering is magnificent and these things are what scares me more than anything else on the battlefield. Knowing that your movements could be monitored at ANY TIME without your knowledge.
Now i make these with my 5th grade friends!
Drone warfare is very heroic and honorable. Great job!
They def suppressed this from recommended and search xD. If you got recommended this you have a very specific algo lool
Thanks for the video! some people really do think it's easy.
Salesman: (slaps top of drone) “this bad boy can commit so many war crimes”
UA-cam is going to love this video
The IRS is getting concerned day by day cause of what type of videos i watch
UART is an asynchronous universal receiver/transmitter.
Hi CIA, FSB,MI6, DGSE, MOSSAD, i watch this video only to support Civ Div and for my divertisment
Love it Bros always teaching me how to repurpose my agricultural drone armada for more fun things
"Ferb I know what we will do today"
Congrats we are now on a watchlist
hooray! your still alive! a +1 for all of the lovely ladies out there
... was getting a bit concerned for a while
im on a watchlist from this video
💛🔱💙 Slava Ukraina! Heroyam Slava! ❤️☠️🖤
Crazy part is i was building hobby fpv drones like 8 years ago. They only lacked the explosives ofc. But fundamentally it's the same.
Go to YPG and help them with their FPV program! I will donate!
