  2. Finally! A lot of people waited for this system to work.

  5. A naval drone takes down a helicopter sent to hunt it, that’s freaking wild!

  12. Two nouns I don’t expect to see in an English’s sentence!

  13. Pilot definitely had an “oh shit” moment when the radar locked on and he started dropping flares. And then he saw the water rushing up to meet him….

  14. Could someone please explain where is the “down” moment on the video?

  15. Wait what, they have sea drones who can shoot at aircraft lol. I thought they were all suicidal ship killers.

  16. For an attack helicopter it doesn’t seem all that good at attacking…or helicoptering either at this point.

  17. We’ll look back on a few events like this as the watershed of a new era of warfare

  19. Dawn of the machines, imagine showing this headline to someone in the 70s.

  20. I wrote a month back that I dont think these drones could effectively hit much, but do make a decent deterrent.

    No fucking way the madmen actually did it.

  21. Always happy to see Ukraine leaning increasingly into war at a remove, while Russia looks for yet more sources of meat.

  22. A new chapter of naval warfare is being written today.

  27. I think some separate praise is in order for the technical team. They integrated the Soviet air-to-air equivalent of the older AIM-9 variants (R-73) into a relatively small sea-based platform and have now successfully used it (as you might remember, there were earlier videos with R-73s on top of these drones, but no confirmed successful hits).

  29. Did someone know the name of this version of the song ? I tried to shamaz it but i got no result.

  32. The sea drones have onboard missiles? Are there any pictures of this? How do we know it’s not just a manned boat?

  33. If the audio posted from this is legit, they hit it, but didn’t shoot it down. It made it back to base, unfortunately.

  35. Every month we see something out of Ukraine that has never been filmed/done before. Fascinating.

  36. That helicopter got served a NASTY surprise. I wonder what they thought in their last moments when they saw that missile launch from the drone and streak towards them.

  39. Can i just say whomever cut this video, great choice of music. Video was obviously downscaled, but really good editing and use of music.

  41. Helicopter: Pew pew pew

    Sea drone: no u

    That is absolutely wild footage.

  43. I guess that means naval drones are going to be that much safer in the future if the primary means of taking them out doesn’t even want to get close anymore lol

  44. Drones in ru ukr war are like planes in WW1

    It’s gonna be wild where this at in 10 years

  45. LMFAO they were not THINKING that drone had damn IGLA lmFAO!
