  1. I have been waiting for them to do this exact concept and I wonder how fast the drones will be compared to the world record

  2. Go wild hornets!
    P.s. pssst, I heard the shahed drone factory went kaboom! 💥 Slava Ukraine!!🇺🇦

  3. I was actually wondering this last time I saw them using these types of drones to intercept Russian long range, reconnaissance drones that fly decently fast and high. Those drones were fairly high priority because Russia was using them along with an optimize kill chain in order to target high priority systems like artillery and air defense unit units. They started using these they were taking out a huge amount of Russian reconnaissance drones. Good to see they’ll be able to use them to take out Shahed style drones.

  8. I’m not one to over-sensationalize, but if these are highly effective, this could be the biggest “game changer” to develop in the war – in regards to future global conflicts and point defense.

  11. Are there any specs for their rate of climb? Ukraine needs a contender for defeating Russia’s tactic of diving Shaheds from an altitude of 5km and these AD drones look like they might be just the thing.

  12. Just off that photo it seems evident that the system already is in mass production. The Ukrainians are amazing!

  14. Sadly its too late, russians started switching to jet engine powered shaheds.

    But it might be a nice alternative to manpads when targeting ru helis and smaller drones.

  15. I like the idea of shotgun shells in a lightweight tube or cluster, and Etonix primers as a drone fighting tool.

  16. I hope they make 5 million of them. Throw them all at PUTO’s ruZZkies.

    Get to 3 million casualties.

  17. LETS. FUCKING. GO. *WELL – LETS FUCKING* **DONATE** *AND THEN LETS FUCKING GO*
