Sent in with flack jackets, radios and what appears to be two weeks of training.

Any way. This should be a video game level- see how long you can survive Ukrainian death from above and the side, while your comrades keep running dirt bikes into you.

Ukraine should start experimenting with sonic drone assaults. Have drones with unrelenting extreme music terrorizing the enemy so they can't communicate or concentrate while being shot at!
Could send them insane (I hope)!

Did I miss the assault part? What was their objective? What were they going to achieve without weapons?

[–] credo@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Their objective was to find rifles to use.

Well they are moving and under fire. It's an "assault" as they run away from the front line without weapons.

I am guessing it's like how the direct hits from drones never cause any damage to Russian oil or ammo facilities. It's always debris from a shot down drone causing the issue.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Debris causes the fires? I heard it always were smokers.

Those pesky smokers, always igniting facilities.

I think at 4:28 you can see a fiber optic cable.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

what use does that have? Battlefield comms?

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It's a fairly new development where they use fiber optic cables to control drones. This makes GPS/radio jammers useless in defending against them. It's literally a drone being controlled using a wire that can be 40km long.

I just pointed it out to show that they are being used. There are already a few other videos of them seeing combat action.

Yikes. Struggling to imagine the practicalities of that eg how does the fibre not snag, how much does it weight etc but if it works, then Godspeed to them.
