Should have went for the wings to burn the bitch down
Anyone aware if these have ever left this location and if these were counted in their operational 6 A50’s? Another post mentioned them being parts planes and the rust suggests they are correct.
*VOLUME WARNING*
Taking an AWACS out of operation with a damn FPV drone. This whole operation has been so impressive.
Are we sure those awacs were ever even operational? They look so decrepit I don’t think they were actually in service. The bombers were a good strike tho.
That looked expensive
Complete ignorance on my end here
Would Russia be stacking tires on active aircraft or does this suggest they might be in some kind of storage/repair?
Cool but those are rust buckets and probably don’t fly.
Seems hard to dispute….
The changes that are coming to warfare from this war are such that the day in which humans have to hide in bunkers while robots fight it out must be closer than it was. Nothing is safe, no where is safe and everything is lethal now.
Satellite already confirmed it, but awesome we get to see the FPV footage as well
Would have made more sense to hit it at the base of the support column, take the whole thing down and also damage the fuselage
It looks like these two A50s don’t have engines mounted on them. They are likely not active, but damaging the radar will make it difficult to maintain the active fleet.
Crazy to think about thousands of dollars in drones causing billions in damage.
You can see the other AWACS get hit in the first clip!! Look closely and you see the puff of smoke – so definitely one exploded in the radar of the left a50.
This is interesting because it means that both were targeted simultaneously.
Maybe not active, but still a plane full of parts they could need.
Kind of humbling that billion dollar high tech airforces are no match for temu drones with explosive charges.
Is the FAILSAFE like a way to ensure that while the drone is poking around the plane it won’t detonate?
I’m curious on what the point of the tires on the wing are? I have seen it on several videos now
Totally insane, what a major loss for the Russians.
Can anyone shed more light on how these were piloted?
Were they auto-homing or live-piloted?
Also any idea why they seemed to slow down and hover as they approached the targets, practically landing on them?
Wouldn’t it be safer to approach and explode on impact like a missile? Or were they maneuvering to insert the charge in a specific spot on the plane?
Oh shit! They hit them both???
I learned more watching those. As an FPV pilot I’m a little knowledgeable about betaflight. Ardupilot not so much. The failsafe and the landings are interesting. It appeared they landed before exploding, but one went under the plane and another crashed into. So these may have been remote triggered vs trigger on board for triggering on impact. The failsafe had me confused. But here we see one without the failsafe on. He approaches the done, then switches to failsafe it looks like for the landing. On a betaflight FPV, failsafe can trigger angle mode, which levels the craft, and then a set of instructions, that can include landing. Here it did not seem to trigger angle mode, and looked to still be maneuvering for landing, human or machine? Possibly machine since in failsafe.
That’s 50% of the Russian A-50 fleet there (assuming both are operational)
