First ever photo of the Magura V7 equipped with AIM-9 Sidewinders. Reportedly, it was used to destroy Russian Su-30 supermaneuverable fighter aircraft in the Black Sea yesterday

  1. Wow, I guess that changes warfare drastically!
    Not an expert but guess that a lot of places in the Black Sea are not safe anymore

  2. I remember the first observations of these types of drones washing ashore. No one could wrap their heads around what they were, what their function was or who made them.

    A couple of years later, they sink battleships, launch other drones and shoots down fighter jets from the sky.

    The evolution has been absolutely wild!

  3. Future wars will be fought underground

    The air and the sea will be so crowded with swarms of drones that everything dwelling on the surface will be exterminated in minutes

  4. I wonder if we gona see some point submersible drones with missle armament?

  7. Other than corruption and ego, I could never figure out why the US has put comparitively nothing into naval drones. Particularly with straightforward tasks like protecting sea lanes against piracy. You don’t need a flotilla of Arleigh-Burkes for that, and exposing hugely expensive assets for low-level threats is both senseless and a recipe for complacency.

  8. That is wonderful news. Eagerly awaiting more good news this week. Slava Ukraine 💛💙

  9. How was this thing deployed? Other SAM systems forced the Sukhoi to sea skimming?

  12. You’ve really got to admire the innovation 👏

    As an aside, and in no way condoning war as a ‘good’ thing; but you can’t deny it’s crazy how over the centuries war has pushed the boundaries on technology and medicine more than anything else.

  13. Excellent idea – this however does not look like a photo; more like a 3D render.

  17. It blows my mind that Sidewinders fired like that can get up to speed & altitude to splash an SU-30

  18. Wack a aim9 seeker on a aim120 body give u a scary sneaky boi

  19. Anyone remember that 90s wrestler spin off show Thunder in Paradise? First thing I thought of.

  22. Ukraine will be the world leader in drone warfare and innovation. Another reason Europe must have people on the ground to learn.

  24. Awesome!! Go baby go!! Absolutely love the Ukrainian innovation!!!
