Excellent insight into a European war just a couple of hours of flight away. My partner is Ukrainian and, like myself, lived in Germany. She’s been here for 20 years and acts as a translator. Perversely… the war has been a positive for her business as we have many 1000s of Ukrainian refugees in our area. She’s been telling me of the many different stories of those who managed to flee and who have lost husbands, brothers, fathers etc. The reality of war is that people die, homes are destroyed and dreams and hopes are shattered. I hope you guys stay as safe as possible and thank you for risking your lives to report your experiences in such a frightening environment ❤

As an American, this one video has impacted my way and level of thinking much more than any of the daily war line updates and tally score charts that we watch constantly showing which side is hurting their enemy more better. This was a very boots on the ground and shows first hand how real this war is in Europe. Thank you!!
You are missing the obvious. They are using drones because most of the men in Ukraine have been slaughtered. This has always been a slaughter. The country has been destroyed and the men killed. Unfortunately the globalist, UK, and democrats told Zelenskyy not to sign the peace deal proposed by Putin. Too much money is being made from this slaughter.
A Mitsubishi commercial! lol Not to make lite of the horrible circumstances the people in Ukraine and in many other places around the world are living. I do pray for their safety and an end to these wars!

Especially an old person who is be put through hell but yet sincerely wished those men well with all her heart. Damn I hope the Russian's leave them alone soon
I’ve been flying drones for over a decade now and have developed a strong interest in the history of unmanned aerial platforms. In this context, I’d like to mention the use of pigeons during World War I, which carried the world’s first interval cameras. While these pigeons weren’t drones, they represent one of the earliest forms of aerial reconnaissance in warfare, gathering intelligence without a human on board.
i was watching something the other day about a US program in WW2 to put pingeons in guided munitions that were trained to guide the munition by pecking at the image of a battleship or wahtever it was trained to target and guide the missile in.. but it never was implemented
Some pigeons in WW1 were awarded medals for gallantry during WW1 … google hero pigeons ww1 and read about the British and French pigeons that saved thousands of lives and delivered messages even after having feet and legs shot off by enemy soldiers below trying to stop them from delivering their messages
Probably because people would be reminded that they're watching humans fight humans and would be made uncomfortable. But I agree, it should all be shown. Every horror.
I called this YEARS ago! Back in 2012, I told my friends that drone technology was being underutilized in warfare. It's relatively cheap, and extremely effective. I would argue that it is still being under utilized in Ukraine. I believe that drone warfare will continue to evolve, much in the same way that we saw tank warfare evolve after WW1.
Thats insane. So she was only 3 when Operation Barbarossa began. That poor woman survived the Holodomor, 60 years of the USSR, the difficulty of the 1990s, and now America's proxy war with Russia. I used to think Poland was the most war-torn country in Europe. I think its Ukraine for sure.
@@mitchellmaytorena1137 children have been driven to suicide for all of history. The difference with cyberbullying is that it's now documented. There's also no real acknowledgement that bullying leads to (C)PTSD, a potentially life long affliction.
Trillions spent on military equipment meanwhile in today's world a 1000$ dollar drone is more dangerous. Its frightening to think about what a terrorist can do with these drones. Sometimes i wish we could all go back to the payphone days
You will see how this war changes whole world technology like last big wars did. There are special forces who always use civil things to manipulate with enemy. Soldiers are very clever to invent traps and use dirty tricks on enemies.
Especially since the whole personal drone industry was built off of military technology that was considered out of date. We would be amazed if the US sent over their cutting edge drone technology but they don't feel it necessary to take the risk of having it reverse engineered.
Drones in tactical warfare has not only made it a game changer, but I feel it has made warfare a futile. For tanks, soldiers and even ships and planes have nowhere to hide. I was shocked when I first saw the beginning of the movie Terminator Two with robots fighting men. Though I knew this was the future, I am amazed that this dystopian prophecy has come to pass!
EW and drone countermeasures will get better, soldiers will learn to protect them self. When the hype dies down, it will just be another horrible addition to war, just like planes where new in ww1. But yes, drones controlled by AI that decide without a human what is and whats not a target is chilling.... And everyone who has drones will have a field day with an enemy that does not.
Do not make mistake... Tank, heading to your positions = the scariest thing to face in direct contact. Because even if you have at4 or matadors or carlgustaf launchers - you need the distance for mine to turn on and once it hits the tank you may be affected as well, but tank can hit you almost at any distance without delay of shell flying. (simultaneously shot - >impact.
@@o______opanasovych Also German tanks are once again rolling through Kursk. This time on the right side of history. Also tanks will be used again in big numbers. Today ships have auto cannons shooting down drones and missiles. 100% sure that America is developing mini Gatling guns to A.I auto track drones incoming already. When one weapon system suddenly dominates the battlefield, the counter weapon system is just around the corner.
Ukraine looks beautiful. I have no respect for the DailyMail but these two reporters are truly amazing. Is the snippet of song we hear at 26 minutes Ukrainian?
One thing i didn't expect watching this is what a beautiful place Ukraine is, so green and peaceful despite being a war. If you are wondering why these people in the small towns wont evacuate its because ladies like the nice lady at 47:39 are as part of the land as the tree behind her.
After this war I wouldn’t walk around the countryside in my lifetime. So many mines around its going to take a long time to even get a portion of them destroyed.
The second part is really true - it would take from a lifetime to 10 lifetimes demine all of Ukraine, which has largest minefields in history. However they know which areas are mined, and on Ukrainian-controlled side with great accuracy at that. Unexploded ordinance in frontline oblasts are another matter, complicating the work of at least the farmers.
I think the woman at 38:12 did not understand your question correctly, I guess she told you her date of birth. She looks if she is about 81 years old, which would fit the suggested date of birth at 1939.
We're months away from having localized AI's that can operate from a high-end cellphone. This means that we can expect autonomous launch-and-forget drones that will be able to identify and attack targets all by themselves. The front lines will literally become too dangerous for any humans.
Ships will be useless as well. Such a easy target with the technology that’s around now. I am sure they are well aware of this and working on the problem but not a thing I would want to be on.
Give it a couple years and we will have HARM style drones. Just a normal FPV that, when jammed, has the autopilot take over and fly directly at the source of the emissions - a jammer is a giant electromagnetic "juicy target here" beacon, after all.
The danger you went through to show the world the situation and future of drone war is astounding. This might be a historical recording for future generation to watch and learn from.
A drone company called Skyeton. The "o" isn't required, but the rest of the letters are there. On a more serious note, very interesting, informative and worrying documentary. Well done.
Movies are real life, News is fiction. Once you realize this and read the documents they have up still, You start to get a picture of the life they want us to live.
It's scary to think what it would be like to be a soldier in this war rather than a drone unit .I don't want my son to ever have to fight in this war he is 12 and we live in the UK .
oh he might get caught up in ww3 then,depending when that kicks off and eventually end. just several years until a draft can do anything, how time flies, just another reason I'd never have kids.
@@bloodlove93 WW3 in 30 years not sooner. Lot of stuff will need to happen before that. A.I will be intelligent in the 2030s but still inferior to humans. In the 2050s it will be self relient like the aim is as they say in this video.
Glad you folks go out of there. It is hard to understand what actually is going on. The news shows a side and enough but there is much space between the lines.
When I saw the drone drop, through the roof of that black SUV, in Mar ''22 , my view of war changed. I got on then with the Ukrainian groups that spearheded the drone program. Fund raising, and incredible support world wide, kept thousands of UA soldiers safe. They also devastated the ruzzian hardware and trenches, houses and landings. Now, advocating for 250K drones / month for UA, is a 2nd job. Great video, I've seen much of it quite a while back, wonderful to see it again. Still very relevant.
One would think, but apparently most drones are hard to detect outside of shotgun range, and any closer, by then it's too late (though the portable EMP rifles look kinda promising)
Killing another human being even a soldier using a drone to do it is cowardly and should never be used in warfare. When you kill in this way it makes it too easy with less responsibility for the action. Taking the life of another should NEVER be easy.
@@erickottke9673 That's the problem. People like you think it's ok. Seems people have gotten so used to war being so common that the idea of peace without killing to get it has been entrenched in to their souls. Here's some food for thought... Aside from religion being the #1 cause of bloody wars, it's politicians, and rich men of influence "deep state" that continue to wage them in the word of suffering and oppression. This suffering is really caused by those who wage those wars. So basically killing in the name of such influencial people of status is WRONG in any way you look at it so yes killing using drones is cowardly and wrong PERIOD.
You can say exactly the same about the plane, the tank, and the rifle. They all allowed to kill others with more ease and from a larger distance. Following your logic, everything but a fistfight is "cowardly" in war.
Now then. Factor in the multi drone control systems utilized in the US for "drone shows" where 500+ drones are controlled at the SAME TIME.....bring in a crew that operates the swarm, arm the swarm, and you have short range air superiority in an instant. - Remember, technological advancements come from military research and development, and then trickle into the civilian sector.
Except their would be NO civilian sector for drones, they'd ban drones if they could, they barred dji, from the commercial sector, and the US companies are moving towards government contracts and don't want to sell to civilians. All we'll get are underpowered neutered drone, that we have to register like it's an airplane
You'd think a drone swarm like that has a big bottleneck on the control system, it's a single point of control/radio frequency that can be jammed and targeted.
you couldn understand that america's and uk capitalists bought and used your country as a toilet paper, just to divide europe, escape their decline, make profits and possess russian resources, until the end of the last ukrainian, and now you are finished forever; i feel so much shame for my country, a nato member, having supported this demoniac plan
Please correct this to include the introduction of small drones to combat units in Iraq/Afghanistan. Iraq War veteran, UAV RAVEN/WASP pilot/Platoon Intelligence/Infantry. Semper Fidelis.
@@joshuastanton6731I'm patriotic and all, but the Iraq and Afghanistan war wasn't anything exceptional, it gives the none military leaning people, the impression of an posh hunter shooting an blind coyote, nothing to be proud of, or anything memorable.
One man, one very small man, is guilty and responsible for all this death and destruction. Honestly, how is it possible for someone to live with such consequences.
Ukraine has the remnants of Russia's design and technical schools, not all, but many so we are lucky that Ukraine was NOT just farmers and Oligarchs. A lot of Russian equipment in part was designed and built in Ukraine. So they know how it works and they know Russian military doctrine too. And they speak Russian.
Guess they will eventually evolve to be silent then we are screwed. Will the winners of war be the ones who can produce the most autonomous drones. China is the leader right now!?… Might start living underground in the future.
I wouldn't be surprised if the US has something that can shut drones power off... Back in 2011 during the UBL raid, there was a reported power outage of the whole area during the exact time of the raid. Rob O'Neil even commented on it saying a device was given to them by DARPA which would shut off a whole area of an electrical grid.
@@BurningDownUrHouseemp is only powerful enough for a couple hundred feet max. It’s not practical and most electronics have enough protection to block out the emp.
Probably some, maybe a lot will indeed. But I bet the foot soldiers will because they were all in that place like WW1 but constantly targeted by unforgiving buzzing non-human creatures. Plus all the rest.

The danger you went through to show the world the situation and future of drone war is astounding. This might be a historical recording for future generation to watch and learn from.
Kinda like a net in the sky, we shall call it... Skynet 😮
A drone company called Skyeton. The "o" isn't required, but the rest of the letters are there.
On a more serious note, very interesting, informative and worrying documentary. Well done.
Movies are real life, News is fiction. Once you realize this and read the documents they have up still, You start to get a picture of the life they want us to live.
Excellent Reporting.
Thank you.
Woow! AT THE VERY LEAST a respectful nod to the Mitsubishi-company, for making those trucks! ;)
When the Taliban watches this video, Toyota is going to lose a lot of sales to Mitsubishi 😁
wish I had shares in DJI they are on everybody's side..
It's scary to think what it would be like to be a soldier in this war rather than a drone unit .I don't want my son to ever have to fight in this war he is 12 and we live in the UK .
oh he might get caught up in ww3 then,depending when that kicks off and eventually end.
just several years until a draft can do anything, how time flies, just another reason I'd never have kids.
@@bloodlove93 WW3 in 30 years not sooner. Lot of stuff will need to happen before that. A.I will be intelligent in the 2030s but still inferior to humans. In the 2050s it will be self relient like the aim is as they say in this video.
Glad you folks go out of there. It is hard to understand what actually is going on. The news shows a side and enough but there is much space between the lines.
The next wave of soilders would already have experienced 100+ hours of watered down versions of warfare and training with controllers and screens
Excellent reporting, very informative
Magnificent work to you both - journo and cameraman. Hope u r both well
I never wanted to believe that Military will become AI but it is "HERE" and it freaks me out.
Vet (this should get your attention if you are a Vet)
Exceptional documentary, highly informative and apparently with access to very high-level information sources in Ukraine. Great work.
Thanks for giving us the behind the scenes look at this very intense conflict
When I received my DJI Phantom 4 pro nearly 10 years, I started imagining how this flying machine could be used in a war zone.
Daesh used phantom 4's
Phantom 4 outdated now.
@@jackgoodnight2 well duh...he did say he got it 10 years ago captain obvious...🤦🤣
@@nismojukerich2994 bro that's why I said the "now"
5 minutes of ads, scams and BS, Unbelievable! there must be an alternative.
Great video. Very interesting stuff.
Think how many more resources there would be for humanity if we could avoid pointless destruction like this.....
Ample opportunities for this to be addressed democratically.
Brilliant informative documentary about the techbological way the war is being fought, and the effect it is having on the soldiers and residents.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Slava Cocaini
Slava allem
The Pulitzer Prize Committee needs to see this video. Richard Pendlebury and Jamie Wiseman's documentary is brilliant.
When I saw the drone drop, through the roof of that black SUV, in Mar ''22 , my view of war changed.
I got on then with the Ukrainian groups that spearheded the drone program.
Fund raising, and incredible support world wide, kept thousands of UA soldiers safe.
They also devastated the ruzzian hardware and trenches, houses and landings.
Now, advocating for 250K drones / month for UA,
is a 2nd job.
Great video, I've seen much of it quite a while back, wonderful to see it again.
Still very relevant.
Thanks for letting us know. We'll be prepared.
Keep your mosbergs gentlemen
One would think, but apparently most drones are hard to detect outside of shotgun range, and any closer, by then it's too late (though the portable EMP rifles look kinda promising)
@@klowen7778 cool, I believe it… do you want to live in a world where the popo is drones? Get a Mosberg
@@klowen7778 not really, the sound of the motors whining in the drones are fairly loud. You can hear them coming a decent distance away.
Killing another human being even a soldier using a drone to do it is cowardly and should never be used in warfare. When you kill in this way it makes it too easy with less responsibility for the action. Taking the life of another should NEVER be easy.
You can say how it ought to be all you want
@@erickottke9673 That's the problem. People like you think it's ok. Seems people have gotten so used to war being so common that the idea of peace without killing to get it has been entrenched in to their souls. Here's some food for thought... Aside from religion being the #1 cause of bloody wars, it's politicians, and rich men of influence "deep state" that continue to wage them in the word of suffering and oppression. This suffering is really caused by those who wage those wars. So basically killing in the name of such influencial people of status is WRONG in any way you look at it so yes killing using drones is cowardly and wrong PERIOD.
You can say exactly the same about the plane, the tank, and the rifle. They all allowed to kill others with more ease and from a larger distance. Following your logic, everything but a fistfight is "cowardly" in war.
@@drsnova7313That's how wars should be fought...best of every countries fighters go head to head in MMA
Epokat kan ndryshuar.
Kudos for taking risks to provide us with this glimpse of the front lines.
Now then. Factor in the multi drone control systems utilized in the US for "drone shows" where 500+ drones are controlled at the SAME TIME.....bring in a crew that operates the swarm, arm the swarm, and you have short range air superiority in an instant. - Remember, technological advancements come from military research and development, and then trickle into the civilian sector.
Except their would be NO civilian sector for drones, they'd ban drones if they could, they barred dji, from the commercial sector, and the US companies are moving towards government contracts and don't want to sell to civilians. All we'll get are underpowered neutered drone, that we have to register like it's an airplane
You'd think a drone swarm like that has a big bottleneck on the control system, it's a single point of control/radio frequency that can be jammed and targeted.
Buddy seems to have won the war against his chinstrap from the last video 😂
But alas, his camo cover on his basher has gone rogue.
Toyota is the truck that wouldn't die! Mitsubishi has just joined the ranks. Awesome documentary. Be safe❤
Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! 🇺🇲💙💛🇺🇦
you couldn understand that america's and uk capitalists bought and used your country as a toilet paper, just to divide europe, escape their decline, make profits and possess russian resources, until the end of the last ukrainian, and now you are finished forever; i feel so much shame for my country, a nato member, having supported this demoniac plan
Very very brave going there and making a documentary about the drones stay safe people
Please correct this to include the introduction of small drones to combat units in Iraq/Afghanistan. Iraq War veteran, UAV RAVEN/WASP pilot/Platoon Intelligence/Infantry. Semper Fidelis.
Thank you for your service.
No one cares
@@PavelAVasilevich And what have you done with your life that was exceptional and not self serving?
By saying, “no one cares”, you reveal that you care. Also expose ignorance. How does one speak for “no one” anyway?
-OEF & OIF USMC
@@joshuastanton6731I'm patriotic and all, but the Iraq and Afghanistan war wasn't anything exceptional, it gives the none military leaning people, the impression of an posh hunter shooting an blind coyote, nothing to be proud of, or anything memorable.
This is crazy warfare. Terrifying merciless.
Excellent documentary covering the game changing power of this new weapon.
the people of London and amersterdam said the v1 was pretty effective drone.
Complimenti un bel pezzo giornalstico...
Боже! Бережи українських захисників! 🇺🇦🙏. Героям слава! 🇺🇦
12000 V1s (Fieseler Fi 103) were launched in 1944 and 1945. They would be called drones nowadays. This was more than a decade before the Vietnam War.
Not really. They clearly were cruise missiles. They are as much "drones" as a Tomahawk or Storm Shadow missile would be.
One man, one very small man, is guilty and responsible for all this death and destruction. Honestly, how is it possible for someone to live with such consequences.
Ukraine has the remnants of Russia's design and technical schools, not all, but many so we are lucky that Ukraine was NOT just farmers and Oligarchs. A lot of Russian equipment in part was designed and built in Ukraine. So they know how it works and they know Russian military doctrine too. And they speak Russian.
Yeah, and in eastern Ukraine, what do you think they “feared” when the Ukrainian soldiers and western media people came along?
a hundred beats per minute.
Thank you.
cant see a drone in the sky without being reminded of what they can do, its no toy anymore
The drones make noise even if you don't see them. But once it saw you, you gone most likely
Guess they will eventually evolve to be silent then we are screwed. Will the winners of war be the ones who can produce the most autonomous drones. China is the leader right now!?… Might start living underground in the future.
Ukraine lost the drone war many months ago and is never able to gain the initiative or never be able to gain uperhand.
Oleg the legend.
Hell of a car ad.
I'm pretty sure a country with millions of drone operators - and only drone operators - could easily win a war
I wouldn't be surprised if the US has something that can shut drones power off... Back in 2011 during the UBL raid, there was a reported power outage of the whole area during the exact time of the raid. Rob O'Neil even commented on it saying a device was given to them by DARPA which would shut off a whole area of an electrical grid.
EMP
@@BurningDownUrHouseemp is only powerful enough for a couple hundred feet max. It’s not practical and most electronics have enough protection to block out the emp.
There's EMP that can take out power to hole countries but classed as electrical nuclear so thay don't do it
@@ruleBRITANNIA1690 *WHOLE
Excellent journalism - first class. And bloody awful to witness the reality.
i believe those pilots will have the highest rate of ptsd.
Disagree. Do you get ptsd from playing violent video games?
Probably some, maybe a lot will indeed. But I bet the foot soldiers will because they were all in that place like WW1 but constantly targeted by unforgiving buzzing non-human creatures. Plus all the rest.
@@MateuszMisztela They are defending their country from a genocidal invasion. I'm sure they are proud of their gaming skills in ridding their land of this infestation.
Soldiers survived from FPV will.
thank u..very sad for the people there..just about brought a tear
Dave Australia, here. What an exceptional video. Thanks.
This is great insight to the human side of Russia citizens. Great job for news coverage.
The stupidity of war.
Imagine the PTSD of these soldiers to hearing drones when this wars over !!
