Hope y'all don't mind if this is OT. I thought someone might be interested. ... . I can't help wondering where drone tech will be going next.
has a video - the origininal page I found had several other links, not sure what you'll see.
It would be easy to recognise something like a T-72 tank, fly over it, and drop an armour piercing grenade onto it. Or recognise a man next to a big gun, or whatever.
Anti-drone tech is playing catch-up. Though some devices look clever, they all have problems. Anything scanning with radar looking for drones is a target to go and blow up, etc. The drones are so cheap you can afford to send 10, or 100, or....
Apparently Russians are buying up DJI drones in China and sending them to Ukraine for Russians to use for reconnaisance. Out of the box they'll use hobby frequencies which would be easy to jam, but I doubt the equiment to do it is common among the Ukranians.
