An even more efficient air fight procedure is actually to connect a lengthy string along with a small weight to the drone. By flying over the foe quadcopter, the string can twist in the adversary's blades," the Ukrainian servicemember mentioned. "If the pilot is actually competent good enough, he can also carry the foe drone back to managed territory as a prize," he incorporated.

One more video spreading on social networking sites included Ukrainians testing an FPV drone outfitted with an RPG-18 grenade launcher.

In addition, Ukrainian forces have actually started making use of fire-spewing drones versus Russian postures in timberline and rainforests. These drones drizzle down smelted steel, using a pyrotechnic make-up referred to as thermite, on their targets. This brand new tool was actually built by a Ukrainian start-up that generates explosive units, including thermite charges, developed for drone work.
