  1. what ever this video is or this thrust me bro title is, you clearly see drones antenna above water, this only shows waterproofnes of this drone, but laws of physics prevent rf frequencies to work threw water, hence the drone in this video not an underwater drone that attacks from the dephts……

  2. This is really turning into some terminator 4 shit…

  3. Looks like they are testing them for rainy day conditions

  4. Bit sceptical thats the usage case. I remember watching BBC Doc on the fighting, whenever it rained soldiers would walk around without caring about drones…… looks like this is about to change

  5. Orcs will now have to take a good look at the toilet before they go.

  6. Use those secret rock and log experts for autonomous flying rocks and grass at enemy 

  7. As seen in New York and New Jersey waters being tested and freaking everyone out. Congratulations.

  8. I mean this video isnt really anything new. Waterproofing FPVs has been a thing since forever, people have been doing this even before the Ukraine war. I waterproofed one of my FPVs i havent really tested it like this but this is exactly what its supposed to be able to do

  9. This is a really cool improvement in generell.
    Bad for russian´s, but good for all the FPV guys, those drones lying in the sea anywhere ^^

  10. No, THAT drone can. You’ve got one video of a drone in a box here.

    Cover any drone in conformal coating and you can get it wet. But water blocks RF pretty well so you’re only going to be able to hide in about half an inch of water at best.

    Love me a good headline…

  11. This is insane & I love it!

    The sound of these is fucking terrifying on its own

    My mate has a racing one & we had to drive for ages to get to place to use it and honestly the footage never does it justice

    Unless it’s a RU hiding & you can see it but you hear it cutting through the air getting hit with one in the face alone could kill you

    But now strap something Kinetic to it & it’s absolutely terrifying

    It’s such a scary sound , but is a beautiful & amazing sound in the hands of Ukrainian warriors

    Modern warfare has gotten so much more terrifying, If Arty & F16’s & Hammers / JDAMS & MBT’s we’re not scary enough

    This FPV’s are insanely scary!

    I don’t know what would be would the rumble of a 70 tone Chally Leo or Abrams rolling towards you or with huge 120mm cannon or

    Wild Hornets ripping thru there air the sound alone it’s like the Stuka from WW2 the Jericho Trumpet as it was know , just to put the fear of god into you

    Before dropping HE on ur PO

    These drones are that! Warfare has gotten so much more scary!

    Just thank goodness this is on the side of freedom of the navigation & the rules based Order & human rights , the law , and doing the right thing! Freedom it’s self

  12. Understand this study is from 12 yrs ago and given the incredible and sometimes seemingly unbelievable tech advances made by the Ukrainians I don’t understand why anyone would question their expertise in this field.

    Underwater RF signalling is already possible with the most basic equipment.

    *Using RF Technology to Form a Wireless Network Under Water*

    **October 1, 2013**

    Tests were carried out in water sources in Utah. The Great Salt Lake acts as a worst-case example: after the Dead Sea, it is the saltiest known body of water in the world. High saline content causes greater RF attenuation. Homestead Crater is also unusual because it is fed by a hot spring with high mineral content, which also affects attenuation.

    “The first in-water test was a dive event at Homestead Crater in Midway, UT. This is a 19.8-m (65-foot) mineral spring-fed body of water inside a volcanic dome crater with a high average water temperature of 35 °C (95 °F). The receiver board and transmitter board were placed in separate waterproof dive bags (see Figure 2). Measurements were taken at 7.6 m (25 feet) and 15.24 m (50 feet), which allowed the test to determine whether depth affected the range.

    The receiver was set at a fixed depth of approximately 6 cm (2.4 inches) below the surface. The second pole was used to lower the transmitter into the water and gradually extend the distance between the transmitter and the receiver until the RSSI indicator showed 0. Surprisingly, given the high saline content of the lake, the transmission distance was 1.5 m (5 feet).

    Based on the results of the two tests, it seems reasonable to conclude that RF transmission under water over a short distance is possible using commercial off-the-shelf RF ICs available today. **Given that the transmitted power of the test setup was limited by the small power output available from the batteries, it is also reasonable to conclude that a greater distance would be achievable with modified equipment.**

  13. Put some camo water wings and a small solar panel on them, and they can wait in the water till they’re needed. Good for some applications, I suppose.

  14. Wow. ..they water proofed it to a half inch depth lol

  15. Everyday, as soon as the ruskies step outside the door, their paranoia will involuntarily take a massive leap.

  16. magnetic charging using a micro turbine means potentially infinite life in Ukrainian rivers. cool possibilities abound. innovation for the heroes

  17. If its water proof it would obviously work, how do you think boats move forward and backwards.
