5. I’m wondering, was the drone really shot down or it just missed its target.

   I remember an interview with a Ukrainian FPV drone operator. He was asked what is the best way to shoot an FPV drone. He said the only reasonable chance to hit the drone is when it’s going straight at you. It’s almost impossible to hit it when it’s going by you. That was part of this pilot’s tactics – to do a couple speed fly-bys near the Russian soldier, so he empties the rifle’s magazine, and only then to do a straight dive on him.

6. Almost hit the vehicle the drone was trying to hit.

7. Looks like it missed rather than was shot down

8. Look at that city. Jesus.

9. Is this luck?

10. That was absolutely just a miss. No way you got it with an AK.

11. Looks just more like poor drone piloting. That angle of approach to the vehicle gives you very little margin for error in the last half second. Coming in shallower is way easier.

12. Bummer about all those apartments that just had bullets come through their windows.

13. Drone just missed. He isn’t even leading the drone.. like at all..
