- We are starting to see drones almost used as a substitute for air superiority, almost causing more mayhem and stress to the average ground troop than traditional air support.

These Ukraine people are so resilient they are the ones putting there life on the line for there glorious land.heroes with hearts like lions.slave Ukraine.
Seeing the attitude of republicans and Trump supporters nowadays I consider:
We're f**ed. The World's f**ed. 😢
slavE?!
SlavA Ukraine!!!
No other choice, man. You would do the same if attacked at the similar scale.
Russians are fighting for money, ukrainians are fighting for their families. Choose your side

Great video ❤
A Ukrainian blogger who's very trustworthy and who has raised money for more than (probably) 10.000 drones so far is Sternenko.
People can donate to him in different ways.
Your content just has something very calming. We have lost the godson of my father in law yesterday... he was a kid still in his early twenties who studied Japanese in Kyiv before the Russians invaded Ukraine.
He served his country and became a hero now. Unfortunately, he was taken away way too early.
I didn't know him in person, but my father in law is very sad. He was a good boy.
Please keep supporting Ukraine, everybody. Russia *HAS* to be defeated, or they will keep on killing innocent people, and they will invade more sovereign democratic countries.
God bless America for all the support and Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦❤
Sternenko and a few million of his viewers have raised money for 33000 fpv drones so far. Current rate is about 200 a day. Without the donations of the Ukrainian people there wouldn't be any drone videos for our viewing pleasure.
If CAC wants to take part in drone funding, the NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade is the easiest way to collaborate with. They arrange everything and youtubers only need to promote that. Over 100 euro donators get a quality badge as a memory. Or a fundraiser for a $18k truck and a chance to drive it from Estonia to Kyiv in a convoy.
Hi from Ukraine)
In recent months, drones have reached a new level: FPV drones with a thermal camera. In the near future, we will witness hundreds of videos showing night-time strikes on vehicles and infantry. It's astonishing how quickly the landscape of warfare is changing👀
zelensky claimed they will make million drones in 2024
@@Microphunktv-jb3kj Talking is one thing, doing is another. Currently, it seems that FPV drones are mostly supplied by volunteers. Considering how crucial this is in warfare, the state should have long been investing millions, if not billions, in drones because it's a must-have, a game-changer in warfare (not a replacement for artillery)
Who would have thought that companies like DJI would become really important defence contractors!
@@trolleriffic we use DJI`s only as eyes in the sky... not all the DJI`s can be used... the old firmware allow people reprogram drone and secure it from being jammed (DJI supply ruSSians with gadgets which allow them to locate the remote device)
@@Microphunktv-jb3kj a million drones will be enough for only half a year, and much more is needed than this minimum.
thank you for supporting Ukraine!
Hello Brothers from Ukraine.

The Baba Yaga drone has thermal imaging and can carry a payload of up to 15kg. It could potentially drop 8 60mm mortar rounds exactly on enemy positions in the dead of night.
They are dropping anti tank mines from the air, that is the scary one! Using the Baba Yaga, the drone that you saw dropping the six munitions.
Beautiful artwork! 2:31 kalYna (stress on Y) in English is "Viburnum opulus".
- Kalyna has been a symbolic part of Ukrainian culture since ancient times. Its meaning has been transferred through the ages in both legend and song. A broken Kalyna tree was a sign of trouble and tragedy. The abuse of a Kalyna was a shameful act. Ukrainians have always carefully protected the Kalyna as there was a belief that Kalyna only grew next to good people. Kalyna has a power that can bring immortality and can unite generations to fight evil. The Kalyna is also reflected in Ukrainian embroidery and jewelry - for example in the traditional floral head wreaths of Ukrainian women’s national dress with the red Kalyna berries representing beauty and charm.
Exactly right!
and also usefull berries to increasing immunity, improving heart function, against vascular spasms and hypertension.
Sending gratitude amd love from Denmark Scandinavia ❤
Fun fact.
Currently 2 most expensive russian pieces of equipment, destroyed by FPV drones are anti-aircraft missle system "Thor" (approx. 24m $) and AA missle system C-350 "Vityaz" laucher (135m $). Plus countless tanks, IFVs, artillery systems, etc. Pretty damn effective.
And red berries in a shell - its a red viburnum - kinda unofficial national tree here in Ukraine.
Nice to see such content, keep up the good work!
Add the warship cruiser in the lot.
Berries called 'kalyna' at ukrainian.
That is really impressive. The idea of using a signal booster drown with an attack drone to get around Russian signal jamming is just epic.

Besides homemade FPV drones, the Ukrainian Army now uses standardized versions produced by private and state-owned companies. President Zelensky said that in December alone, those companies produced 50,000 FPV drones. And in 2024, they will produce over 1 000 000 FPV drones.
yeah, says only a few Ukrainian media sites. They are lying.
I would avoid quoting Zelensky, because this guy isn't in his place. Yes, Ukraine has made some progress in drone making but a mil. drones is a populist stun, his term is over soon, he's very nervous now.

Hi, thx for your interest and support
Ukraine really needed more support
We received not a lot military equipment
They have started to use Bradley 25MM HEI rounds as drop munitions. Which is extremely clever, as the rounds are extremely effective for their size, so allow multiple drops and is pretty much ideal for anti-infantry and anti-trench operations.
Дуже дякую за вашу підтримку !!! Ми переможимо!!!!
One US provided cluster munition, when cut properly with a saw turns into many drone payloads, each precisely hitting a target
That’s honestly probably a better use for the 155mm DPICM shells anyway. I’m a USMC artillery vet and those were designed for mass fires not onesies and twosies like Ukraine is forced to do due to a lack of munitions and freedom of movement. I also fly fpv drones and have nothing but praise for the fpv pilots putting their cajones on the line. These are not long distance weapons platforms for the most part. These guys are up close and personal!
2:20 "Kalina" its "Viburnum". It is one of the symbols of Ukraine, like the maple in Canada
I'm a drone expert (engineer) for the US Air Force. This is a fascinating topic particularly because of how quickly the grass roots 'combat' drone scene has evolved organically. There are so many lessons to learn here and they go far beyond just the drone aspect. I hope to see more of this type of content and how can we not considering the direction things are moving.
To comment practically on some of this I am very glad to see them move away from using DJI drones. This was a big tactical error at the beginning. Lets be clear and say that it may not entirely be DJI's fault, but the risk is there non the less despite their 'stated' intentions. The bottom line is both China and Russia have 'hooks' into their software > backdoors if you will. What does this mean to the user? Let's look at the design/function of DJI first. They use their own mandatory software running on your personal cell phone (in most cases) which are then connected to the cell network. Then they combine that with real time GPS data of both the phone and the drone.
So what you have are very very serious, deadly in fact, OPSEC risks in multiple areas. First, the drone software can be hacked to basically triangulate the position of the launch sites as well as the drone current position. If there is a QRF (quick reaction force) on the enemy side they can target the user very quickly and with highly accurate GPS guidance data ready to go. That's a very bad thing. Secondary OPSEC threat is the phone/cell connection and the DJI software. China and Russia now have 'back door' access to your phone, where it is (you are), who you are, and any data that resides on the device.
So, the best counter to these OPSEC risks are two if a DJI drone is the only option. (1) launch and move - NEVER launch from the same place twice and NEVER EVER launch from a FOB or permanent location as these can be targeted. Launch from a random field site each time and after you do launch move out immediately. Movement is your friend in this case particularly because the response time of the enemy is so slow (this is going to change). They will quickly adapt and it's best to stay ahead of that.
(2) NEVER use your personal phone or laptop to run the software. Make sure to use 'burner' phones and laptops that also have no record of sale to a personal address you are associate with. Use a proxy for delivery and registration. And make sure whatever phone and laptop are connected are 'clean' with no OPSEC relevant or personal data onboard. Last, signals can be triangulated so just operate as if your position is compromised every time these are used. Move quickly and covertly.
These impressive folks have already started to build these in house and use the FPV system which is vastly superior for avoiding many (certainly not all) security risks. That is the way to go. Now they need some good software dev folks to help create a good system for their particular use in house that cannot be compromised. This is where this will go in the future. It's both scary and impressive what they are doing over there out of necessity. I am formally trained, educated and have 27 years experience in this drone arena for military and intelligence applications and I can tell you I am impressed by what they are doing.
We are also working on some very impressive anti-drone technology right now as well. Last, the Ukraine situation has brought to light what a large role mini-combat-drones will have in modern warfare and we have already made some amazing leaps in our own well funded field here. I can't talk about anything specific but there are some interesting hints if you look at Anduril Industries and they even have some short demo videos here on YT worth a look for anyone interested in the topic. -J. Allen
DJI was not "tactical error", thats gives crucial advantage at start of war. Nobody dont use DJI software, but both sides use own firmware on it.
Very interesting information. I also hope that the national security institutions have realized how large the risks are at home now - I consider it only a matter of time before either foreign or domestic terroists deploy these systems or something akin to it to make a statement. A Taylor Swift concert, the Super Bowl, an outdoor political rally....the implications are scary to say the least.
@@FiercePretzelThat's right. The Army of Drones is getting 2000 Autel evo max 4T drones.
In fact, to avoid the cases described above, our drones do not use standard firmware, they are flashed and checked every day, the Russians do not always do this and we break them and see what they are and everything else.
Indeed we (national defense) do understand the emerging threat and take it seriously. Anti-drone tech is getting pretty advanced as well. Luckily the commercial drones are not hard to deal with for a technologically sophisticated and well funded country like US. But a foreign state sponsored program will have significantly better and more secure control systems. That is the current chess game we are playing. @@Darwinist
The T-shirt the ukranian guy had would sell very very well around the world these days! :)
I was looking for this comment 😂
Kalina - national berry and one of the folklore symbols for Ukraine
I think next step every soldier will have personal companion dron with AI
Like in a fantasy game, a red or blue cube flying above your head to assist.
Funny enough, if you had that kind of "companion", one of its main purposes would be to protect you from enemy drones.
Cant imagine how frightening it must be to never be sure if you are under observation all the time and if a grenate is thrown of you from a little mechanic bee.
on the contrary, you can be sure you are under constant surveillance
praying for Ukraine! support UA
The drone warfare in Ukraine is terrifying. FPV drones will go into open hatches on tanks, dugouts, buildings and blow them up from inside. You can't hear or see them until it's too late either. I've seen footage of drones hovering over soldiers, and they have no clue they're being watched. And while the prospect of AI controlled drone swarms sound like the future of warfare, I think human controlled drone operators have their place. Case in point, I watched a video of 7-8 Russian soldiers in a truck somewhere on the Ukrainian front line. A drone was stalking the truck. When they stopped to unload the truck with ammo, the FPV drone flew straight into the truck which was destroyed along with all the supplies. The soldiers survived, but they're now out in the middle of nowhere with no truck and no supplies. An AI would probably prioritize the soldiers first instead of the truck. But the drone pilot knew that killing one soldier means nothing in Ukraine. So he took out a whole group by forcing them to walk home or render them useless without supplies. And they do this kind of strategic thinking all the time.
Something to note on soldiers who are unaware of drones, is IF they have bin on the front line for a long time, they certanly have hearing problems.
And from what I've noticed, a lot of People dont have protection for hearing.

Hey from Ukraine Thanks you for your content!
A lot of my friends(and also me) learn of how to fly on FPV drones (FPV simulators mostly) to be somehow helpful for our army(and with donations of course 😅)
Thank you for your support and interesting content!
Hello there.
About price of FPV drones, I can say that minimal final cost, when drone can be used by soldiers, is 700$.
1:47 Now this is so weird .. I'm from Ukraine .. I remember my grandparents have quite similar things .. not sure what for .. pens or whatever .. and I never thought about it .. but supposedly it was manufactured from WW2 shells .. not sure what it was but looked like around 20mm shell and F1 granade as well. I guess I was playing with it something may be 30 years ago? .. Never thought about this until I saw what you got and this brings me memories and arises new parallels/associations ..
Не гони, 30 лет нащад- это 90 ые, это 50 лет после войны ..какие Ф1 , твоих бы бабушку и дедушку за макет Ф1 в тюрьму посадили бы коммунисты. Скорее , ты помнишь что-то из гильз , возможно " зажигалку" , это могло быть т.к.в войну была проблема со спичками и огонь носили* от соседей даже ...А фитили - свечи были из гильз, но это предположение. Просто гильзы могли быть сувенирами из СА уже, но точно не 20 мм , в СССР за это в тюрьму попасть можно было .
@@Life-xq2qu ні, це була підставка ніби як під канцелярське приладдя. Ф1 не філа була а половина як на відео у автора. І точно це була не запальничка.
Я не знаю коли це було виготовлено але припаси з другої світової дуже довго знаходили навіть років 50 після завершення війни. У людей в кого були господарські ділянки після чергової обробки/перепахування землі знаходили гільзи і навіть кулі. Не знаю чи це 20мм було чи просто дитяче сприйняття. це дуже давно було .. але точно памятаю шо були дрібніші гільзи і були досить таки крупні.
Thank you and people like you for your support, good work and success.
Thank you for your work 🇺🇸🇺🇦🤝
I think that was thermobaric missiles or rockets in the begining. Things do some damage, and take your breath away. At 5:50 in the video.
I am a French manufacturer and pilot of an FPV drone. piloting a stabilized Mavic can be learned in two days, on the other hand, making parameters, adjusting an FPV drone and another story. Driving in addictive mode, allowing you to go wherever you want, requires a lot of practice. at least a month to learn how to fly straight. Hitting a moving target at over 100 km/h is quite difficult and requires practice. FPV is my passion.
"It's personal for every ukrainian" - True! Thx u for this content.
11:50
it has happened. The drones were used to geolocate the operators. It had to be removed by updating the firmware to give anonymity to the soldiers. It wasn't figured out immediately, so some lives have been lost to that, unfortunately
Those were Russian propaganda videos designed to scare Ukrainians. Ukraine was well aware of DJI Aeroscope before 2022 and had adapted through customization of firmware to avoid this issue.
Thank you for doing content about our war. Ppl got to know that nothing have ended
Those DJI drones have default firmware installed that can show the pilot his position, drone regulation in many countries could require this kind of traceability, this software also has geofencing which interdicts flying in certain areas, i'am sure that they reverse engineered the firmware to strip out all these functions.
And also there is no GPS on the frontlines. Those DJI drones that are used in a warfare are jailbreaked and flashed with custom firmware. Not sure where they get it from. Most likely downloaded from the internet. :)
@@DmitryTurovsky Don't think there is full EW coverage along the whole frontline, it's gong to be a patchwork.
If modified firmware was not available the Ukrainians sure got software specialists to pull this off.
@@robson668 maybe so, but that means that you can't rely on a GPS anywhere. You don't know what patch you get into.
16:49 - I'd assume they raise funds online. It usually works like this: you make a post, people who know you share it saying 'I know those guys, they need this and this, here's a link to a mono jar', and so on. It's harder for smaller volunteers, sometimes bigger ones re-post to boost the donations. Our most known volunteers are quite fpv-oriented now.
Drones with AI are already working, which choose the target themselves. That is, the enemy's EW system no longer works, because the drone flies on autopilot. FPV drones with night cameras also work now... The future came yesterday.
AI drones not used in warfare and won't be used for a very long yet as it may be unpredictable and may friendly fire
Not fully AI-controlled yet. It's require an operator to lock on target, so basically means you need to direct the drone all the way up. Still it's great, because at last 100-200 meters AI control the drone (when rist to lost it is highest), and almost guarantee a hit, even if you lost connection, which is really common, because of terrain, and low attitude at the final points of trajectory.
A drone with an autopilot system that when it loses a connection simply retraces it's steps until it can re-establish it should be a good option as well. If one target is a no-go because of EW perhaps it can be re-routed to a secondary target that isn't covered.
Such drones, unarmed but with extended battery instead of a payload can be used to probe and map out EW coverage. Every time they run into trouble they just go back and now you know not to waste your more valuable drones over there. With multiples of these in the sky triangulating the source of the EW emissions becomes a possibility and then the artillery can go to work even if you don't have eyes on.
Suchomimus showed such a prototype in a video today. Saker Drone.
These are not drones with artificial intelligence, but automatic target acquisition
Omg that little berry shell casing piece is so cute. I want one now....ima ask my man for one for my birthday lol

We build them in TX too 😋 fpv scenes are huge in FL and MI.
5:55 I think its Russian termobaric weapon called “Solntsepiok” which translates as “sun heat”.
I think it is one of those things that are not allowed to use at war according to international
conventions.
Amazingly motivating and neat video!
There is one more interesting initiative called Print Army.
Thousands of people print drone parts, stabilizing tails, drone dropping mechanisms, antenna holders and ignitors
It is also important to know that the drones are used because of the lack of artillery munitions on the frontline. In some zones of frontline Ukrainian artillery is almost silent and the drones are used to entirely replace artillery coverage. However, it is just a temporary measure. Drones are still less effective than artillery. This, artillery munition production numbers should be increased
Thanks for supporting us
God bless America

Thank you for your work
lovely. Thanks for work
5:49 - thermobaric rockets from TOS-1 "Solntsepyok" system
That rolling tray is dope AF
Thanks!
Theres no english name, its called Viburnum by scientists. It is one of prominent folkvice significant plants in Ukrainian culture, the famoust wartime song "Ой у лузі червона калина" gave it some promotion. It is special in a way, how berries can survive deep freeze during a winter, preserving furtility, and rich nutritional value for consumers. I presume, this resilience against harshest cinditiins is what earned its place as venerable symbole.
FPV economics looks approximately like this:
Drone costs 200-300$ + costs of ammunition (it could be the rpg head dirt cheap or some advanced price stuff)
On one armored vehicle are often used 5-10 FPV drones. So to destroy BTR, BMP or tank is aprox. 1000 - 3000$ + explosives
If FPV operator does not see a machine in googles but sees infantry, he sends infantry "to the moon".
If your FPV destroys 1AK it is economicaly effective everything above that is "profit".
Thank you a lot for your support and for spreading such valuable information. Its very important for us in Ukraine.
Thank you for such an interesting react ❤
Thank you so much for supporting Ukraine
We even have couple of courses for civilians to made our own drones at home.. and then send it to the frontlines
Hi 👋 thank you for the video
Wish u luck 🍀 UKRAINE!🇺🇦
dont forgett drones saves the cost of human lifes as the drone does the job in a good upfront way
Don't like the perception of human life is a price, but yeah. they lower the risks.
These red berries are Viburnum (ukr: Kalyna) - our national symbol that is widely used in our culture, traditional medicine and a little in our national cuisine ❤
the other thing that drones enable that you dont really see from this video is making smaller units 'occupy' a larger portion of the front. someone was saying that where previously Ukraine would need a company of guys to occupy X amount of territory, they can lower it to a platoon or even a squad depending on how big their drone element is. so if you look at the map of the war, you'd think its WW1 style densities but its way thinner on the ground without any corresponding weakness.
The Drone fight is a real thing - scary as hell - going forward I'm waiting for an AWACS drone to identify and deal with an area to counter drones
25:32 maybe first time i see the thigh bullet protection. Wonder if any soldiers use full body armor for such close combat and what materials can chemists come up with that are lighter and stronger
Thanks for support!
Awesome Video and React 🤝
Thank you for video. Grate gob !!
13:54 the cost of a drone ~ $400-600 without an explosive
Usually, we have to reinstall the firmware on Chinese drones, or modify them, before we hand them over to our fighters. Otherwise, using a drone without special firmware is dangerous for the drone operator. The Russians have systems that determine the place where the drone was launched without special firmware and they immediately apply fire.
Just imagine in a near future when you can apply a smal thing like a size of an matchbox with huge explosion and impact just like a JDAM, HIMARS or something like that
Really impressed to see some modern trench art
Ty for ur suporting us!
I recently watched a video showing how cartels, in MX, are now using drones in the same fahion. It is a little scary how this can be replicated anywhere.
І ви праві, новий вид замовного вбивства, всього 400 грам тротилу і тільки шматки тіла навколо
The drones and the way Ukraine has been using them is probably the most cost effective weapon ever used in modern warfare. Like you said if a drone is 100 and the munition let's just say 1,000 and you disable a tank( which I've seen a few times on CZcams).that's 1100 ( give or take for the cost of munition) taking out millions $ for the tank. And it's insanely versatile. The drone can do many different jobs in the field. To me it seems almost as important as the machine gun was in ww1.
25:56 can you tell about electro magnetic pulse or emp destruction of electronics to counter drones?
5:50 Most likely it is TOS-1A Solntsepyok of the Russian Army (translates as sun - burns), very powerful thing and very scary, as it literally sweeps away everything in its path, but there is one rather big disadvantage, it works extremely close as for MLRS, the maximum range of application is 15km in the newest modification.
Glory to Ukraine 🫡
Thank you for doing this , it means a lot for us 💙💛
I haven't seen footage of drones delivering supplies yet, is this a thing? I would've thought resupplying fixed positions with ammo during offensives using drones would be useful?
yes. we do. one sceleton + nade = €2000.- ; javelin cost ten times that.
what was looking shock vave... was tos rocket. its pusing air a way and thats how kills the enemy.
1:57 !! Nice)) it`s cool
To your last thoughts, 2 days ago russian small rocket ship "Ivanovets" has been destroyed by the swarm of the Ukrainian USV drones.
Drones are a major component of the various robotic systems operating remotely or autonomously in Ukraine
what are the other robotic systems operating remotely or autonomously in Ukraine? :)
ShaBlia, The SIRKO-S robot, and Ironclad are just a few examples of innovative creations from Ukraine's private sector.@@DmitryTurovsky
5:50 it's thermobaric rockets/bombs
This make you think, are these rooms considered military production facilities, are they located isolated or inside civilian infrastructure, could it be considered a valid military target? This kind of super-decentralized production method is a really grey zone one. And not even talking of what is considered a lethal weapon that can be easily obtainable from the civil market in a peace time country.
Actually people are making everything except actual explosives in their closets. I've heard about some problems when post office clerks see a box filled with a tailfins to drop an RPG grenade from a drone. And also that SBU where carefully interested in guys who make an explosive devices parts, but it was year ago and I haven't heard anyone were actually prosecuted for this. Don't know what will be in times of peace, we have to live up to it yet.
@@DmitryTurovsky Sorry because I was not clear, with "peace time countries" I'm talking about how countries around the world would regulate this drone issue. Because something that Ukraine and Russia realize to the world is how easy and cheap can it be to possess a really powerful weapon.
@@teblack2 Yes I agree. And I hope that there is enogh smart people doing their jobs to protect Pentagon or economic hubs or whatever. But on the other hand it is hard to control. We make a plastic double walled cup, and then we fill th double wall with shrapnel, and pour it with epoxy rezin. And then the military guys are filling it with explosives and put in a detonator. at what stage does it become illegal, and why?
This war it's real test for modern war technology in real combat and development of brand new weapons like drones and unman planes/boats/ ground vehicles of all kinds and attack drones like kamikazi drons
15:21 gotta get one of thos
Excellent video. One correction though; flying fpv drones takes quite a while to learn, especially with any degree of proficiency, includes hours upon hours practicing on a simulator before actually flying the real thing. It’s not like flying a Mavic. With that said, you can probably get guys trained and on the front lines within a month or so of intensive training and practice but that’s really pushing it imo.
ти молодець! дякуємо за підтримку
2k of drones per month can be maded by few dudes at garage, 300-500 usd and ANY ammo became guidable and can destroy tank, artillery, jammers, anthene, even single soldier etc - for 300 usd its amazing price 👍 this spring we will see AI fuided swarms (anounced by both sides, who know if it true, but that is logical continuation of drones tactics evolution), ai targeting make no sense with jammer protection, so laser anti air needed for that 👍
5-6 per day by one person
As an FPV pilot for like 6 years now I find this amazing what they're doing I wish I could go over there and Pilot Jones cuz I am an ace pilot I would love to fly drones into tanks all day..
I absolutely love the Ingenuity of all these little groups and the ukrainians pulling out all this shit and just using it and saying fuck you Russia This Is Our Land you can see yourself the fuck out
FPVs with computer vision are currently being actively developed, the pilot now just needs to point to the target, then the drone chooses where to hit. Depending on the graphic or thermal imaging pattern. This ensures the pursuit and impression of the target, already without the constant participation of the pilot, and does not depend on jamming the signal. Unfortunately, the Russians also began to use this type of guidance, modernizing their Lancets.
It would also be nice if both the drone and the guns could have gps - so can then give the gun the exact gps coords and the gun can utilise that, is this already a thing?
the plant is Viburnum opulus, viburnum or viburnum which decorated artistic composition. Vibrunum is very helpful during winter against Flu, before global pharmaceuticals industry. Ukrainien continue use it as tea. With time it became as one symbol of country, song etc., because all household had this tree in their garden.
I just wonder how much longer drones can be effective. Jamming capability is still spotty, limited to certain areas covered by large systems. But russia already tried to deploy small stick-on systems for vehicles that create a jamming bubble of a few hundred meters radius around it. Its not clear to me how effective it is or if its just so rare that it doesnt make a difference and the vehicles with it get taken out by other means.
But it can only be a matter of time when these drones become less and less effective because of these efforts. Defense companies are of course also watching this and most likely are not interested in seeing cheap drones be effective but rather sell expensive systems that make drones ineffective - and then continue to sell expensive offensive weapons. Its all about the profit margins after all...
It is hard to tell. War is a complex shit.
If we are talking about dome-typed EW jammers, they of course make drones ineffective in some area, but the jamming signal itself can be detected from far away painting a huge target over the place where the jammer stands for artillery and mortar fire. Relay drones make a signal needed to jam much stronger, that makes jammer even more visible, or useless. Drones can loiter around for some time waiting for EW jammer to be destroyed by other means, or for a relay to get into position and then swarm in. If we talk about jammer rifles, they are harder to detect, but have to be pointed at drone, which is not easy most of the time, and you need a separate rifle for each attacking frone, so making a massive assault will exhaust them quickly.
Drones are just one of the means to damage the enemy, with proper tactics and cooperation of different regiments it will never get totally useless, they just may need more support and specific circumstances to use.
I watch a lot a lot of combat footage and you almost never see helicopters
Drones were already used in Libya
