  2. The look of sheer terror on No. 2’s face says it all.

  7. First guy looked like he had decided that he wasn’t going to scramble and made piece with the fact that he was about to die.

  8. I cant even image the damage these warheads would do. I think some are RPG warheads, in which case the molten copper would go through their chest. Good grief lol

  9. Standing still doesn’t work so well against a contrasting background like that.

  10. What a dumbass. Everybody knows you gotta T pose so the drone thinks you’re a glitch.

  11. Might have been a freeze reaction. Not that common in humans but extreme fear can shut you down so much all you can do is just kinda… spectate.

  13. Staying still might work, but not on the godamn path! Wouldn’t have mattered anyway

  14. You know those net guns they use to catch swans? Has anyone tried one of those yet on the battlefield?

  15. What was the first guy doing? Was he having an episode why did he just stand there? No reaction to the drone flying around him.

  17. I mean in a situation like this, being alone and hunted down by a drone you’re fucked and dead 99% of time you can try running away or shooting down but there’s a small chance you’ll succeed shooting it down or it hitting something else trying to get you and even if you do there might be another just around the corner waiting for you.

    Guy either accepted he’s dead or really thought standing still would make him invisible for the drone operator.

  20. So we just freeze when hear drone?

    Yes. It not see you. It’s vision based on movement. Russian soldier, uh, find way.

  22. so the russian are using tactic from the north korens.

  25. I wonder at what point main guns with anti-drone capabilities will become as important as, or more important, than “normal” small arms? I know the reflex is to say never but the ratio of drones to meat is only going to go up. Like, probably never going down again for as long as batteries and microprocessors exist.

    Maybe someone will give flechettes a try again? Something that has a spread but can punch through body armor of humans. I don’t even know.

  26. “Did that work out the way you thought it was going to? Nope”.
