1. Do fpv dropped bomb on orc?

2. These bomber pilots sure are getting good with their drones. Play games of terror, win terrifying prizes.

3. Impressive how skillful this pilot flies. He yanks back the sticks for a half second to look at the sky / point the drone back, getting some space between the drone and the vehicle. Then the pilot does the same forward, looking at the pending explosion while punching (almost) full throttle (hard to judge if the drone is capable of more). That takes muscle memory and months of training. (And in my case a couple of GOOD crashes.)

4. Akamikaze drone.

5. Great job and victory to Ukraine.

6. That is some cost effective killing for sure.

7. It’s interesting explosive drops are beginning to relegated to cheaper FPV’s (I’ve seen them do it before, to great effect, but now it’s increasing). Means you’re not putting more expensive DJI/surveillance drones in harms way, and they’ll also stay airborne longer not carrying additional weight.

   The evolution has been interesting. We’re even seeing kamikaze drones with thermals for high value night time raids. More regular use of ground based attack platforms for dug-in positions.

   Any captured old tanks or IFV’s that wouldn’t survive modern AP rounds should similarly be converted to remotely operated attack platforms. Pull the soldier further away from contact – play the opposite game Russia plays.

8. My favorite part is when they blow up the Russians:)

9. i am so glad these drone pilots are on our side

10. Ukraine needs to turn this into a video game. I’d buy it.
