Wild that the first grenade didn’t get a response from the group.
Looks like no one has any clue what’s happening. I guess the drone is very high up and they don’t know where the bomb came from. Also I’m assuming explosion noise are common in the battle field
I have a drone (dji mini2) for photography and it’s wild how fast you can lose all sight and sound from it if there’s any backround noise. When it’s calm and quiet you can hear it ~300m away but if there’s any noise from traffic/city/whatever it’s really easy to lost the thing to the sky even at 50-100m distance. A while ago I took photos from a sports event my kid was playing in and I couldn’t spot the thing while it was stationary in the air 20 meters higher than me and maybe 70 meters away even if I had GPS, visual and everything so I knew where to look. Music was playing so I couldn’t hear the motors at all and background had some forest so the drone itself wasn’t visible against sky and shadows from the trees.
Based on the videos I’m quessing they’re flying at 100-150m above ground and even the ones carrying grenades are a bit bigger than mine they’re still very small objects against the sky. And they’re getting damn accurate, I couldn’t drop anything reliably from my drone even if I tried but guys at Ukraine are dropping epxlosives trough sunroofs of the cars.
All I’m wondering if it’s really worth the time and effort to take down attackers one or two at the time with special equipment, but then again the alternative would be to have boots on the ground with an assault rifle, so I’m just assuming they know what they’re doing and I’m definetly not the one going to advice them on anything.
Also, the soldiers have probably spent months in trenches, and 99.99% of the time there isn’t a drone to spot. After a while they just won’t even look for one.
The effectiveness is huge. Just consider the k/d ratio.
And also the money spent per kill.
If you’re in any way accustomed to military expenditures, the cost of these drone kills is negligible.
