This technique, though unique, warrants some interest, as it appears to be a reliable technique to reduce the effects of enemy drones," the file read. Kyiv Blog post looked for comment coming from a Ukrainian FPV drone driver, that rejected the technique as "uncertain," taking note that connecting nails includes excessive weight to the UAV, giving little sensible value.

An extra successful sky battle strategy is actually to connect a lengthy string along with a tiny weight to the drone. By flying over the foe quadcopter, the string may twist in the enemy's rotors," the Ukrainian servicemember stated. "If the fly is skilled good enough, he can easily also bring the foe drone back to managed territory as a prize," he included. Defense Express additionally highlighted that Ukraine's Protection Forces are definitely using anti-aircraft FPV drones to respond to Russian search UAVs.

Drone-on-drone combat continues to be pretty rare. Video clips of "fight collisions" between UAVs in midair are still reasonably uncommon on the web. However, current video coming from the Khorne Group, part of the 116th Mechanized Brigade's unmanned assault plane device, presents a Russian Mavic drone trying to obliterate a Ukrainian FPV drone near Russian settings. "Our experts are actually observing the sunrise of a new era in drone-on-drone combat," the Khorne Team disclosed.

Furthermore, Ukrainian pressures have started making use of fire-spewing drones versus Russian settings in tree lines as well as forests. These drones storm down liquified metallic, using a pyrotechnic composition named thermite, on their aim ats. This new tool was actually cultivated by a Ukrainian start-up that generates eruptive tools, featuring thermite charges, created for drone employment.
