Man, just imagine years from now these Russian soldiers will have PTSD like symptoms whenever they hear something similar to drone sounds "DROOOONNNNEEEEES!"
WSJ will probably never report it, but the Russians are using far more of these FPV drones. Lancet drones take out dozens of tanks/ artillery pieces each month, if not each week. Russian military has improved vastly (at great cost) since February 2022 and is now grinding up the Ukrainian counteroffensive
@@akshittripathi5403Lancet is decent but They're not doing that much more work than fpvs. Also because of the distance it operates at the lancet has a lower kill percentage. Because the fpvs operate basically on the front line of they disable a tank it's much harder for the enemy to retrieve the tank and take it safety since follow up strikes happen a lot of the time , while lancet operates at intermediate distances and if they don't take out the equipment on the first hit they're much easier to retrieve and tow to safety .
Smart use of diy FPV drones! For the UI I can tell they are using Betaflight as the OS, also my personal fav. A professional FPV pilot would be able to jump into an open hatch or window and dodge virtually any missile. Go Ukraine!
Yeah I'd fly into the hatch of the tank, fly into the windows of vehicles. You could get 12 pilots flying at the same time. I'd do swarms of drones to maximize the amount of fear.
@@jerseyshoredroneservices225 FPV drones are too small and maneuverable to be easily hit directly by a missile. FVP drones are very different from filming drones like DJI and the ones you show on your channel.
Yup, Betaflight. It's crazy to see the FPV race quads that I and many others have been building for fun all these years turned into kamikaze weapons.

This reminds me of the drone and c4 trick in Battlefield 2042. I used to think an explosive attached to a regular drone was unrealistic and only worked because of game logic, but it seems it would actually work in real life. Scary to think how gaming tactics could actually work irl. Like with that one Nascaar Driver that used an old race car game trick to boost his speed by driving on the border of the track against the barrier.
I bet some of the new tactics are based off videogames, most military personnel under the age of 30 have played a CoD or Battlefield or any other futuristic War game at least once
That is simply not true. There are various estimated costs for both Leopard 2(A4 and A6 variants are given to Ukraine, not the latest most expensive A7) and T90M, but there's no 10 times difference, maybe 2-3 times, depending on the source.
@@willythegoose 1 leopard 2 stock version cost around 11 million USD while T-90M cost around 2.5 M USD. And thats before inflation. According wikipedia.
@@billyb6001 A near-miss is when almost something really bad happens. Say, a truck stalls on a railroad and a train is heading right towards it. At the last second, the truck moves out of the way. That would be a near-miss.
I can only imagine how much motivation I would have if a foreign country wanted to take land on which my family members are buried, as well as everything they are doing to my country and its citizens.
Also Ukraine is good at making jet-sky style drones to hit the ships and any objects on water, probably the first country ever to use such devices… Brave people, the situation they are in right now, will make them stronger and stronger, eventually Ukraine will be the main firepower of NATO!
Yeah but they’re still trying to catch up with Ukraine. You’d see a lot more videos posted by Russians forces doing this if the had invested in the tech earlier 😂
@@Niven110 as far as I can tell, it’s pretty even on FPV platforms, and Russians have a gigantic edge when it comes to loitering munitions like the lancets.
@@Niven110 You don't get to see the Russian side because most media are pro-Ukrainian, most Russian videos get downvoted, disliked, or reported while it's the opposite when Ukrainians post theirs. Also, the RUssians are busy winning on the battlefield while Ukraine is busy winning on social media.
I dont remember the exact number but I read that Russia already invests something like $3 billion in drone manufacturing and is currently building a factory in Russia to mass produce the iranian Shahed drones. Ukraine recently announced to invest around $1.08 billion into drones. Ukraine is a poor country but I think they still have to prioritize this issue. Im worried $1 billion isnt enough. Id like to see Ukraine invest at least as much as Russia into drones. Drones will be a major factor in this war and the side with more and better drones will have an advantage. And to all Ukraine supporters: Prioritize donating to groups and units that focuse on drones. Thats what I do. Yes humanitarian aid and conventional weapons etc are important too but drones are in my opinion the most important issue in this war.
How about we have a competition that brings the best of Western minds to see who can build the best / most cost-effective military drone, with the winners getting a large award funded by donations, with people like Star Wars actor Mark Hamill and others leading the effort.
Russia converted an old mall into assembly plant for drones. They are using 100s of kamikaze drones per day. Many other plants are operating. Russian drone production and innovation is huge.
Scary thing about the drone game is in this Russo-Ukraine war we have seen a lot of tanks from German to American to Russian get bumped by drones with one punch 🥊 and I have not seen or can’t even pictured a modded out tank just to weave off drones because the payload they are coming with now is insane to see
Meanwhile western media : "ukranian" lancets are also expertly taking out "Russian" leopard2 tanks. 😂😂😂 Sticking to the current video though: yes, those DIY drones with small grenades are ABSOLUTELY penetrating and destroying that HRS armor on those tanks.
I mean, this war seems very much to be a trial and error by offensive forces. Where attrition or surprise allows movement in certain areas. Surprise is what allowed the initial Russian advances, so too the Kharkiv counteroffensive by Ukraine. Simultaneously, attrition led to Russian victories at Severnodonestk and Soledar, and in Ukraines case taking back Kherson. What these drones seem to do, and we do have visual evidence for this, is make it to where tanks can not only be spotted and attacked by kamikaze drones, but gain visual or laser identification for other drones in the air, like lanclets do, or give artillery the means to target them. Like how Russia's armored columns last winter were halted in Vuhledar and Kreminna, and so too Ukranian columns in the south. So like, pointing out an "oooo, gotcha" to the use of similar Russian advancements in this field begets the effective use these drones have time and time again proven they have against both sides offensive forces. Whether it be for distraction, getting lucky hits in, or overwhelming the force that's attacking with too much at once, let alone the damage these weapons do to infantry, these drones have proven their effectiveness, and use, so far, in spite of their small warhead capacity. What will be interesting will be how one side, or the other, overcomes this new breed of weapon. Or, perhaps, this is just a sign of technology/use of technology outpacing tactics and weapons to break a stalemate. Akin to WW1, in a way.
@@josephhernandez5386 you need to READ the comment carefully and what it pointed to CAREFULLY before typing this looong diatribe. Also, vuhledar was halted but the equipment not destroyed and later recovered (judging by the full video and bit edited down clip spread by ukr mod). Kreminna offensive is difficult for armour because of the vast forest belt, and ground troops having perfect cover for air recon. It's not "haulted" . In fact RF pushed back any and all ukr offensive in that area to its initial position and has gained ground in the forest regions in recent months. RF didn't have any proper air defence (short and medium) in place in South and had vast gaps in radar coverage last year. A problem they have since solved and their EW equipment has been successfully jamming and intercepting smart bombs, drones and missiles so much so that even western analysts and generals have begun whining about how ineffective their weapons have become against RF EW. Russian air defences regularly shoot down ukr drones venturing too far into the frontline..... Yes you hear news of ukr sending drones into Russian territory for PR and distraction from their astronomical losses on frontlines, but how often are those drones ACTUALLY successful???? Not many ..... Once in a week or 2 weeks maybe. Meanwhile RF drones and missiles regularly strike all the way to the lviv region. Drones have changed the battlefield for sure, especially immediate frontline surveillance against the infantry but the roots of warfare tactics still hold.....trench and artillery warfare still reigns supreme as is evident, air superiority still matters and decent air defence is still important. Drones have merely augmented these aspects and added to their effectiveness.
I live in Bulgaria - yesterday I had an avert for a $10,000 drone that can carry a 15kg payload for 10 hours, its controlled via satellite [presumably starlink]. That means I could load it with bombs, fly it to Ukraine, bomb a tank and fly it home again called a "YANGDA Sky Whale Max Hybrid Heavy Lift Long Endurance VTOL Drone" The point I am making is - the whole shape of war has changed. Me a random guy with $10k can secretly take part in a war in another country. That is crazy.
That type of drone would be shot down before it can do any type of meaningful damage. The only benefit of these fpv drones is they are small and agile.
submarine drone that could target sub are a deadly threat but good like finding an enemy sub in the first place in the very vast ocean also it's will be probably hard building sub that goes under water cause of you have to factor in the water pressure and you need to build a sub that is smaller and compact that the enemy sonar couldn't detect but if someone manage to build this kind of drone sub and manage to find ways to locate enemy submarines nuclear submarines would be in potential danger
Destroying an armored vehicle by means of a drone and sinking an attack or missile submarine by drone are different things. Quite possibly for the United States losing a submarine due to a drone attack or not would mean a declaration of war, and going to war with the United States is something that everyone would avoid.
I'm going to call it, next 5 years we're going to see the US Military doing a 'hand held drone operator' MOS. The ability to have a squad mate pop up a drone, to scout ahead in real time, and get a birds eye view of enemy fortifications before a push is going to be insane. Imagine you're working on some offensive, and you have direct callout on radio of a $50 dollar drone telling you where the enemy is, how many of them, blah blah blah. Reaper drones no longer need to play surveillance for operations, and can purely build into support. Squad level tactics can even use grenade drones to drop explosives on enemies, or even smokes to disrupt their vision. When I enlist in the US army next week. It's going to be the #1 thing I'm interested in if it becomes a thing. I'll reclass in an instant if I can do that kind of stuff.
You are forgetting that Russia has also been using drones against expensive western equipment given to Ukraine. unlike Ukraine Russia makes its own arms
@@Jaqen_Hghar Shoigu is currently in North Korea asking Dear Leader for help. Nothing like begging for ammunition that has been stored in some mountain for the past fifty years.
I knew this was going to happen back when they began making these commercial units. I was worried. Wonder what kind of regulations exist already or may be generated to control this. A hobbyist toy turned weapon of war.
For people wondering how tanks and armored vehicles will ever overcome the small drone threat, which is a great question, first thing to keep in mind that predicting the future of war is by far the hardest possible thing to do. That’s because the smartest people, of each nation, spend trillions of dollars to best give them the advantage in a future war. Whether it’s Georgia, Indonesia or the United States; top talent spends all its time thinking about this and is a top priority of the government. Secondly, there is already a solution to this threat coming out of the United States. Lasers. Essentially, lasers have gotten to the point that realistically in a few more years a laser could be installed on every tank, armored vehicle, etc. The lasers are already good to go - just not in mass adoption. I think the real question is “Will lasers get to the point that anti tank missiles, drones and even tank projectiles themselves could be stopped by them?” They are already on the verge of stopping artillery shells for example.
Lazers have a massive problem, they need super capacitors and a nuclear reactor to run then, they are currently only a naval weapon and I don't see that changing soon
@@mitchellcouchman1444 They are also notorious for being sensitive to jostling/perturbations (plus weather) - Anything military that is going out to large amounts of vehicles has to be ruggedized. Which is easier said than done.
it's not that big of a question. as the drones operate via radio signal, they just have to jam it. a piece of kit as big as a modem could do it effectively. the thing is tho, that it just won't happen. both putin and his generals are braindead and rigid. they can threaten with nukes, but they can't adapt. russia is not prepared for modern warfare, and with all the embargoes i doubt they could get all the chips and semi conductors necessary to mass produce the required equipment, even tho it isn't a big deal at all. putin and the russian military are both had beens.
@@mitchellcouchman1444 all the drone attacks in the last few shows how delusional you are. you think the jammed drones did 200M in damages the last few days? :DDDDD EVERY SINGLE vehicle needs a portable transmitter, and there has to be a stationary transmitter every 200-300m in cities to have the border jammed. portable transmitters have a range of about 15m, stationaries about 100-150m.
Western tanks will just be adapted for this issue (more armor round the engine compartment) the doctrine will change for tankers they will be told to always operate with the hatch down. But the doctrine for everyone won't really change as much as you say.
@mrgamingking18 the key words in what I said are 'will just be adapted' meaning currently tanks are not reinforced there. is English something you struggle with?
@@BJJISTHEGAYPARTOFMMA One of the reason Ukraine has a high armor attrition rate when breaching Russian defense lines is because NATO doctrines for breaching dates from the 1980’s and the Gulf War. Back then, NATO teachings expected 25 minutes from the moment a field was breached to the moment counter-battery arrived. Yet, with the advent of both reconnaissance and loiter drones, that timeframe is non-existent, and it is genuinely putting a drag on Ukraine, and Western nations too. These drones are revolutionary.
Until the they start using your radio signal to track your position, we are only at the early stages of drone warfare and they are quickly being nerfed in effectiveness
@@mitchellcouchman1444 meh. it's only wifi, and doesn't reach far - at least on mine, and most of the commercial ones. that's why the ukes have to guide it from so close to the target. by the time the find it, it will be over by then. you apparently have no experience with commercial drones.
@@skip123davis if its short range that further creates issues with use and WiFi is traceable like all forms of signals and jammable which many are experiencing, without a reasonable range their use is very limited
The Russians are now the ones with the most effective FPV drones. The Lancet 3 these Ukrainian drones just look puny and are unlikely to do any major damage to a tank.
don't forget that KI will in the future will really boost the deadliness of the drones. Right now every drone needs a pilot. What if swarms of them operate on its own. Makes me shiver.
It's like showing to the military how to reload your gun. They already see everything the same + manuals + shared personal experience notes + shared software. This video is useless for them, because they already know all that and used all of that.
When in position, on site, russian tanks have a camo net above them and many drones explode in that net, with little or no damage for the tank. Some 'beautiful explosion' vidéos are failed attacks.
It’s likely that Chinese manufacturers will have to cope with competition from Ukrainian companies as their indigenous capabilities if parts supply from China continues to be constrained.
Cope? Lower bound 90% of the drones from china we are not talking about parts, then that’s prob 95% of parts at minimum. Even reporter can’t ignore the existence of drone supply from China in video. Chinese manufacturers still biggest beneficiaries from this type of warfare

And probably tape is better than metal brackets or fittings… no radar signature

WSJ will probably never report it, but the Russians are using far more of these FPV drones. Lancet drones take out dozens of tanks/ artillery pieces each month, if not each week. Russian military has improved vastly (at great cost) since February 2022 and is now grinding up the Ukrainian counteroffensive
@@akshittripathi5403Lancet is decent but They're not doing that much more work than fpvs.
Also because of the distance it operates at the lancet has a lower kill percentage.
Because the fpvs operate basically on the front line of they disable a tank it's much harder for the enemy to retrieve the tank and take it safety since follow up strikes happen a lot of the time , while lancet operates at intermediate distances and if they don't take out the equipment on the first hit they're much easier to retrieve and tow to safety .

For the UI I can tell they are using Betaflight as the OS, also my personal fav.
A professional FPV pilot would be able to jump into an open hatch or window and dodge virtually any missile.
Go Ukraine!
you probably don’t know that Russia is doing the same thing, and in terms of the ratio of drones, forces are not on the side of Ukraine
Yeah I'd fly into the hatch of the tank, fly into the windows of vehicles. You could get 12 pilots flying at the same time. I'd do swarms of drones to maximize the amount of fear.
I was with you until you said that they could Dodge missiles.
@@jerseyshoredroneservices225 FPV drones are too small and maneuverable to be easily hit directly by a missile.
FVP drones are very different from filming drones like DJI and the ones you show on your channel.
Yup, Betaflight. It's crazy to see the FPV race quads that I and many others have been building for fun all these years turned into kamikaze weapons. I think everyone in the drone hobby knew it was easily possible, but it's just nuts to see the fuzzy analog DVR footage of it actually hitting targets. I'm surprised Russia can't easily jam the TX/RX, but maybe their capabilities are truly overblown.
This reminds me of the drone and c4 trick in Battlefield 2042. I used to think an explosive attached to a regular drone was unrealistic and only worked because of game logic, but it seems it would actually work in real life. Scary to think how gaming tactics could actually work irl. Like with that one Nascaar Driver that used an old race car game trick to boost his speed by driving on the border of the track against the barrier.
Bomb Drone in CoD Warzone is straight reference
Depends on the game. I play stuff that lets you load a Humvee with C4 and absolutely ruin the enemy's day.
I bet some of the new tactics are based off videogames, most military personnel under the age of 30 have played a CoD or Battlefield or any other futuristic War game at least once

And leopards 2 cost are ten times T-90M

@@yihuda7459 still the effectiveness now in question.
That is simply not true. There are various estimated costs for both Leopard 2(A4 and A6 variants are given to Ukraine, not the latest most expensive A7) and T90M, but there's no 10 times difference, maybe 2-3 times, depending on the source.

It is the same situation like in pearl harbour, a few flies ruined an entire fleets.
Now this is a real modern warfare
Also Ukraine is good at making jet-sky style drones to hit the ships and any objects on water, probably the first country ever to use such devices… Brave people, the situation they are in right now, will make them stronger and stronger, eventually Ukraine will be the main firepower of NATO!
Drones changed the landscape of modern war to the same degree the gun did when it was first used in war.
The Russians are using them too. People forget that.
Yeah but they’re still trying to catch up with Ukraine. You’d see a lot more videos posted by Russians forces doing this if the had invested in the tech earlier 😂
There are also (electronic) counter-measures. It's a constant cat-and-mouse game.
@@Niven110 as far as I can tell, it’s pretty even on FPV platforms, and Russians have a gigantic edge when it comes to loitering munitions like the lancets.

@@Niven110 You don't get to see the Russian side because most media are pro-Ukrainian, most Russian videos get downvoted, disliked, or reported while it's the opposite when Ukrainians post theirs. Also, the RUssians are busy winning on the battlefield while Ukraine is busy winning on social media.
Viva Ukraine!
Smart!
Glory to Ukraine!
Rest assured, it works fine the other way around too,given that NATO tanks are waaay more expensive...
I dont remember the exact number but I read that Russia already invests something like $3 billion in drone manufacturing and is currently building a factory in Russia to mass produce the iranian Shahed drones.
Ukraine recently announced to invest around $1.08 billion into drones. Ukraine is a poor country but I think they still have to prioritize this issue. Im worried $1 billion isnt enough. Id like to see Ukraine invest at least as much as Russia into drones. Drones will be a major factor in this war and the side with more and better drones will have an advantage.
And to all Ukraine supporters:
Prioritize donating to groups and units that focuse on drones. Thats what I do. Yes humanitarian aid and conventional weapons etc are important too but drones are in my opinion the most important issue in this war.
How about we have a competition that brings the best of Western minds to see who can build the best / most cost-effective military drone, with the winners getting a large award funded by donations, with people like Star Wars actor Mark Hamill and others leading the effort.
Russia converted an old mall into assembly plant for drones. They are using 100s of kamikaze drones per day. Many other plants are operating. Russian drone production and innovation is huge.
Scary thing about the drone game is in this Russo-Ukraine war we have seen a lot of tanks from German to American to Russian get bumped by drones with one punch 🥊 and I have not seen or can’t even pictured a modded out tank just to weave off drones because the payload they are coming with now is insane to see
Meanwhile western media : "ukranian" lancets are also expertly taking out "Russian" leopard2 tanks. 😂😂😂
Sticking to the current video though: yes, those DIY drones with small grenades are ABSOLUTELY penetrating and destroying that HRS armor on those tanks.
I mean, this war seems very much to be a trial and error by offensive forces. Where attrition or surprise allows movement in certain areas. Surprise is what allowed the initial Russian advances, so too the Kharkiv counteroffensive by Ukraine. Simultaneously, attrition led to Russian victories at Severnodonestk and Soledar, and in Ukraines case taking back Kherson. What these drones seem to do, and we do have visual evidence for this, is make it to where tanks can not only be spotted and attacked by kamikaze drones, but gain visual or laser identification for other drones in the air, like lanclets do, or give artillery the means to target them. Like how Russia's armored columns last winter were halted in Vuhledar and Kreminna, and so too Ukranian columns in the south. So like, pointing out an "oooo, gotcha" to the use of similar Russian advancements in this field begets the effective use these drones have time and time again proven they have against both sides offensive forces. Whether it be for distraction, getting lucky hits in, or overwhelming the force that's attacking with too much at once, let alone the damage these weapons do to infantry, these drones have proven their effectiveness, and use, so far, in spite of their small warhead capacity. What will be interesting will be how one side, or the other, overcomes this new breed of weapon. Or, perhaps, this is just a sign of technology/use of technology outpacing tactics and weapons to break a stalemate. Akin to WW1, in a way.
@@josephhernandez5386 you need to READ the comment carefully and what it pointed to CAREFULLY before typing this looong diatribe.
Also, vuhledar was halted but the equipment not destroyed and later recovered (judging by the full video and bit edited down clip spread by ukr mod).
Kreminna offensive is difficult for armour because of the vast forest belt, and ground troops having perfect cover for air recon. It's not "haulted" . In fact RF pushed back any and all ukr offensive in that area to its initial position and has gained ground in the forest regions in recent months.
RF didn't have any proper air defence (short and medium) in place in South and had vast gaps in radar coverage last year. A problem they have since solved and their EW equipment has been successfully jamming and intercepting smart bombs, drones and missiles so much so that even western analysts and generals have begun whining about how ineffective their weapons have become against RF EW. Russian air defences regularly shoot down ukr drones venturing too far into the frontline..... Yes you hear news of ukr sending drones into Russian territory for PR and distraction from their astronomical losses on frontlines, but how often are those drones ACTUALLY successful???? Not many ..... Once in a week or 2 weeks maybe. Meanwhile RF drones and missiles regularly strike all the way to the lviv region.
Drones have changed the battlefield for sure, especially immediate frontline surveillance against the infantry but the roots of warfare tactics still hold.....trench and artillery warfare still reigns supreme as is evident, air superiority still matters and decent air defence is still important. Drones have merely augmented these aspects and added to their effectiveness.
Ukraine is winning.
Ok, now do Russian drones taking out Lepord 2's for balance of perspective

It works both ways. Russians also destroying ukrainian tanks with FPV drones.
Mr Steele would hit every target and every tiny gap
VPN Drones, one DJI drone operator per squad, and mobile electronic warfare equipment are going to be essential in the next full scale war
Russia now surpassed it greatly, it used to rely on Iranian shahid attack drones but now they have an improved version
I live in Bulgaria - yesterday I had an avert for a $10,000 drone that can carry a 15kg payload for 10 hours, its controlled via satellite [presumably starlink]. That means I could load it with bombs, fly it to Ukraine, bomb a tank and fly it home again called a "YANGDA Sky Whale Max Hybrid Heavy Lift Long Endurance VTOL Drone"
The point I am making is - the whole shape of war has changed. Me a random guy with $10k can secretly take part in a war in another country. That is crazy.
That type of drone would be shot down before it can do any type of meaningful damage. The only benefit of these fpv drones is they are small and agile.
Slava Ukraini!
You guys got this story backwards
i feel bad for people who got killed by drones
Apparently we are not many years off submarine drones, which may make large submarines outdated.
submarine drone that could target sub are a deadly threat but good like finding an enemy sub in the first place in the very vast ocean also it's will be probably hard building sub that goes under water cause of you have to factor in the water pressure and you need to build a sub that is smaller and compact that the enemy sonar couldn't detect but if someone manage to build this kind of drone sub and manage to find ways to locate enemy submarines nuclear submarines would be in potential danger
Destroying an armored vehicle by means of a drone and sinking an attack or missile submarine by drone are different things. Quite possibly for the United States losing a submarine due to a drone attack or not would mean a declaration of war, and going to war with the United States is something that everyone would avoid.
Improvise,adapt, overcome !! 👍
I'm going to call it, next 5 years we're going to see the US Military doing a 'hand held drone operator' MOS. The ability to have a squad mate pop up a drone, to scout ahead in real time, and get a birds eye view of enemy fortifications before a push is going to be insane. Imagine you're working on some offensive, and you have direct callout on radio of a $50 dollar drone telling you where the enemy is, how many of them, blah blah blah. Reaper drones no longer need to play surveillance for operations, and can purely build into support. Squad level tactics can even use grenade drones to drop explosives on enemies, or even smokes to disrupt their vision.
When I enlist in the US army next week. It's going to be the #1 thing I'm interested in if it becomes a thing. I'll reclass in an instant if I can do that kind of stuff.
That drone would not be $50 by the time US Military gets it. Probably $50k each
"Reclass in an instant" ... good luck with that.
The UK military are already training FPV drone pilots

God bless dji drones
Russia is catching up ??? They have the BEST drone in the field with the Lancet series
*Ukraine does a bit of creative trolling*
For people wondering how tanks and armored vehicles will ever overcome the small drone threat, which is a great question, first thing to keep in mind that predicting the future of war is by far the hardest possible thing to do. That’s because the smartest people, of each nation, spend trillions of dollars to best give them the advantage in a future war. Whether it’s Georgia, Indonesia or the United States; top talent spends all its time thinking about this and is a top priority of the government.
Secondly, there is already a solution to this threat coming out of the United States. Lasers. Essentially, lasers have gotten to the point that realistically in a few more years a laser could be installed on every tank, armored vehicle, etc. The lasers are already good to go - just not in mass adoption.
I think the real question is “Will lasers get to the point that anti tank missiles, drones and even tank projectiles themselves could be stopped by them?” They are already on the verge of stopping artillery shells for example.
Lazers have a massive problem, they need super capacitors and a nuclear reactor to run then, they are currently only a naval weapon and I don't see that changing soon
@@mitchellcouchman1444 They are also notorious for being sensitive to jostling/perturbations (plus weather) - Anything military that is going out to large amounts of vehicles has to be ruggedized. Which is easier said than done.
it's not that big of a question. as the drones operate via radio signal, they just have to jam it. a piece of kit as big as a modem could do it effectively. the thing is tho, that it just won't happen. both putin and his generals are braindead and rigid. they can threaten with nukes, but they can't adapt. russia is not prepared for modern warfare, and with all the embargoes i doubt they could get all the chips and semi conductors necessary to mass produce the required equipment, even tho it isn't a big deal at all. putin and the russian military are both had beens.
@@allaci17 you're delusional, they are already jamming many of the drones... Even many of the military ones let alone the little civilian drones
@@mitchellcouchman1444 all the drone attacks in the last few shows how delusional you are. you think the jammed drones did 200M in damages the last few days? :DDDDD EVERY SINGLE vehicle needs a portable transmitter, and there has to be a stationary transmitter every 200-300m in cities to have the border jammed. portable transmitters have a range of about 15m, stationaries about 100-150m.
Drones are the future.
And now Russia does the same thing to Western tanks and makes a 30 years breaching doctrine obsolete. What an ugly war.
Ukraine still does it better.
Western tanks will just be adapted for this issue (more armor round the engine compartment) the doctrine will change for tankers they will be told to always operate with the hatch down. But the doctrine for everyone won't really change as much as you say.
@@BJJISTHEGAYPARTOFMMAhow is that going? How many Bradley’s and Leo’s are burnt
@mrgamingking18 the key words in what I said are 'will just be adapted' meaning currently tanks are not reinforced there. is English something you struggle with?
@@BJJISTHEGAYPARTOFMMA One of the reason Ukraine has a high armor attrition rate when breaching Russian defense lines is because NATO doctrines for breaching dates from the 1980’s and the Gulf War. Back then, NATO teachings expected 25 minutes from the moment a field was breached to the moment counter-battery arrived.
Yet, with the advent of both reconnaissance and loiter drones, that timeframe is non-existent, and it is genuinely putting a drag on Ukraine, and Western nations too.
These drones are revolutionary.
might as well play this war in a cs go tournament this is so unreal
the VR headset costs way more than the drone, but is reusable. that's what i would do. i fly a little dji drone, and am partway into setting up vr.
