In the face of death, the occupiers show their true essence. They throw their helmets hysterically, fight back with automatic weapons, try to escape, but get what they deserve. A forest of EW antennas on the back of one of the occupiers did not help to escape from the “penal sanctions” of the soldiers of the “Rarog” Battalion of the 24th OMBr.

The true essence being… afraid of dying? I’d probably react the same.
Whether each individual deserves this is questionable. Though this doesn’t mean I don’t approve of the Ukrainian measures, in fact I support these fully,
However, as I’m not Ukrainian, my view on the matter is naturally different from someone’s who is currently being invaded. So I do get the sentiment. Just that I don’t want to celebrate it
I’ve been wondering, do the Russians also have these types of suicide drones, and if so, do they also use them this way on individual/pairs of soldiers? I know this sub mostly shows Ukrainian videos. Or do they not engage in drone warfare as much with these small quadcopters? Most videos show Russian footsoldiers, vehicles and bigger fixed wing drones.
Also, for the armchair experts here, what are the chances of surviving something like this? Sounds like a dumb question, but is it possible some percent of them are duds/don’t detonate after impact? I’m not sure if the static at the end of the clips is added later, but can we assume if the feed cuts out, it has exploded?
I know nothing about the technology involved, but it seems like a fairly low barrier to entry to me. It makes me wonder if this kind of attack will be used in terrorist attacks in the next years/decades. Doesn’t seem like there’s much one could do against it in civilian areas.
Yes, they produce them about equally, but issues with corruption and bureaucracy in Russia hamper their use.
Russia’s offensive strategy is to use constant “meat assaults” to gain ground via attrition. The most efficient way to defend against that is with cheap FPV drones. The net effect is drone videos of hundreds of Russian troops dying per day.
Anything under 5kg that goes burns or goes boom has been attached to an FPV drone at this point. The most effective against infantry are the 3D printed ones that use ball bearings.
They do sometimes get caught on a net, but some brands have remote triggers. Magyar uses them a lot in his videos.
These have been used in terror attacks for some time, but it’s becoming far easier and cheaper. They even sell the grenade dropping mechanism on Amazon.
Huh, interesting. The disadvantages of the centralised vs distributed approach really makes sense here.
The Russian tactics seem like total madness. Might have worked in WWII still but looking at the videos in this community, surely they will eventually have to run out of vehicles and willing men (if they haven’t run out of the latter already).
Ball bearings, Jesus.
I wasn’t aware they had been used in terror attacks, but I saw an article about an attempted assassination of Maduro on the site you linked.
I’ll take your word on that Amazon link, disturbing shit.
Are these attacks on single soldiers tactically relevant too, or is it mainly intended as a psychological weapon, knowing that these things could hunt you down and you basically can’t do anything against it? I’m not Russian, or a soldier, or in Ukraine but I’m scared of these things.
What awful waste of human lives. And I guess there is no good way to die in war, but this just seems so atrocious for everyone involved
The only way to truly win in war is to never fight.
If you have a choice, that is.
As long as nobody starts, not playing is the easiest way to avoid defeat. But if one player plays, the rest must follow or lose. And as long as either keeps playing, neither can stop. That is the tragedy of war: Easy to start, hard to end, until the fire runs out of fuel and only ruin is left.
Every death and every kill that will haunt a soldier in this shit show is on Putin’s head.
No, it is not just Putin. Stop excusing all of Russia. They want the war, the see it as patriotic to fight the evil ukrainians. It is not just Putin the same way it was not just Hitler.
To everyone thinking this is cool because it’s about enemy soldiers:
I get it, they’re the enemy and we HAVE to kill them. It is NOT cool, though.
It’s a guarantee that next up this will be innocent civilians. Hell, it wouldn’t surprise me if Israel isn’t already using these on Palestinian men, women and children. These videos are a horror show.
A few years back I saw this video made by some AI experts about how AI would be abused and it was basically these drones but with AI and facial recognition taking out students in a swarm because they were political opponents. It was a nightmarish scenario
