3·3 years agoThe FPV drone files over the “Tulip” and then turns 180 degrees to attack it, almost like they wanted to warn them. If not they should choose a better attack path next time.
Apparently that EFP is travelling at 2000m/s (Mach 6) and can penetrate up to 140mm of RHA. They don’t provide the weight of the EFP.
(This might be all wrong and not how it works.) If the search radius is 100m and search angle is 30degrees the triangle would be a=173m (“height”, not accounting for angle), b=100m (search radius), c=200m (longest distance, not accounting for angle). I don’t know if it looks like a ~200m distance or not.

I love the video production quality.
(Supposedly) the aftermath.
This. Presumably the same person who is originally responsible for this video. It’d be better if they stopped.
The artillery shell or rocket would have to have been fired before the vehicle stopped. It doesn’t directly hit the white vehicle. It could have been a targeted assassination or an (un)lucky hit.
Blew the top of his head off.
It’s strange to me that they didn’t aim for different people.
What would you do if someone was live streaming your checkpoint? Probably should stop short of kidnapping them, maybe call the police instead. You definitely shouldn’t lie about it after as there’s cameras everyewhere.

Cold.
Still close enough to cause gimbal to stutter for a split of a second, but it’s quite delicate piece of technology and pressure wave from the missile can cause that quite far away. True. If the proximity fuse had exploded it might have taken out the drone.

Looks like there was secondary explosions from stored ammunition (~0:59).
Edit: Ignore me, I missed the
and equipment
At first I thought it almost touched but it’s 2.5x(?) zoom and when it goes to 1x(?) the smoke trail is not so close. If it’s aiming for the drone it’s quite far off.
If you watch at slow speed at 0:06 you can see the missile.
So the soldiers destroyed the EW/jammer and then the drones had free rein to finish the job. Outstanding.
I’m surprised they have any left, but according to wikipedia they had ~90 launchers and ~500 missiles pre-war.
I think those leg bones might be mush. 👎
If you’re no bleeding (a lot), you don’t need a tourniquet, right?
It’d be nice to see them hit those two trucks as well. Logistics is key.
No amount of software is going to help if the radar isn’t set up.
