‘It is impossible to outrun them’: how drones transformed war in Ukraine
Summary
Small FPV drones, traveling at 37mph, have become ubiquitous in Ukraine’s war, evolving from “a novelty to a weapon of choice.”
Ukrainian forces deploy these low-cost, explosive-equipped drones for reconnaissance and precision attacks, transforming frontlines into deep drone combat zones.
Crowdfunded and assembled locally, FPV drones are also used for air defense, targeting Russian aircraft and drones at lower costs.
With limited Western aid uncertain, Ukraine focuses on scaling drone production and innovation to counter Russia’s numerical advantage and maintain battlefield efficiency.
Would be interesting if an effective countermeasure for drones is to disable all electronics in an area.
The problem there however is it would disable your electronics too though, and everyone is using them.
Like an EMP?
Yeah, that or something similar.
my guess is essentially a robot controlled turret that shoots them down using trigonometry n math stuff. Isn't what they have with planes just bigger?
Carnival BB gun on a turret basically. Squat for range, but squat for detection distance anyway. It would be able to knock out shaped charge dones outside their effective range, just barely. Drones with a grenade would still be close enough to be fatal without cover. It'd be an automated system to do the same thing the sad cages do now.
That's when and where the Ukraininans start using artillery.
