FPVs are utterly terrifying. There's a lot of quality combat footage from Ukraine in which you can see the carnage they cause on both sides. They can't be seen, they're almost impossible to shoot down and the signature high-pitched whining and buzzing is a devastating psychological weapon. Eventually I think that laser countermeasures will level the playing field, once the technology is ready. Another fine video chaps.
The anti drone laser helmet will change the game
@@phillip4307 in thirty years. You can block the transmission frequencies, 2.4Ghz and 5.8, and the various Mghz available easily, but all you are doing is making the initial target unreachable. It will crash, and its intended target is removed, but it will have an unintended result, if the payload is live.
Remember, you are watching the highlights of the propaganda they want you to see
Weapons and counter measures always go through this leap in sophistication during war, makes you wonder how long they want to see this one go on.
@@user-py1yk9po9g Not long, trust me, the advent of the A.I will create weapons of such sophistication that even the boldest dictator will shy away from warfare. What we see here is the end of armed conflicts. Trust me, sis, bro, trust me
PTSD from a buzzing sound will be a new symptom.
i think that is already a thing except from dentist drills buzzing
Agree ,
When all these boys go home and talk a nice walk with their family, some teenager filming a KZhead video or landscape with their drone will terrorize these poor men. A new form of shell shock
I'm sure it's very terrorizing
A mavic is cheaper than a artillery shell in Europe. €2000 Euros for a Mavic. €8000 for an artillery shell. Its no wonder the skies are flooded with drones.
Oh, it's cheaper than that... most of the systems they are flying only cost about $300 to $1000.00 it's just off-the-shelf build-it-yourself drones.
He's referring to a Mavic + the rebuilt cost and the time cost + the effective explosive power of 20 kg of TNT or ( precisely ) it's derivative in small grenades. As they say, time is money. You need to militarize the drone.@@zbeast
@@server1ok a mavic doesn't carry 20kg of HE. It is completely different use to an artillery shell (which can be laser guided also at higher cost).
I said "effective explosive power" not the amount of physical mass. A standard shell is 20 kg of HE but it's less precise than a suicide drone with 2 kg of HE. The point is, it doesn't matter if a Mavic is 500 USD. You have to militarize the Mavic and pay for the modification and time, so it costs 2.000 USD minimum and the process is often privately funded, outside of official aid and sometimes outside of the law depending on the location of production@@N4CR5
fab 1500 is better than any drone
Not the biggest country will win this war, but the most cleverest and creative. 🙂
and the most coward one too
lol most cleverest?
thats always been the case ask any irishman
Kinda lookin like the big country is gonna “win” this one at this time
@@AdamTazyeah snippers are cowards or pilots or if you pussh a button for a rocket that can kill people 10 miles away or if you use cannos or mortars or machineguns.Only stupid people are heros dead heros 😅
scary how fast technology advances during war
War was always a catalist for innovation. WWII is a great example. V1 , V2 rockets , me262 jet plane
Honestly IMO it is scary how so much of the US military tech is now relatively obsolete and how they seemingly had to watch this war in ukraine to see the obvious disruption they would bring. Makes pulling out of afghanistan look dumb when these things could have held down that country pretty easily
@@doresearchstopwhining What is obsolote? HIMARS? REAPERS? BRADLEYS? F-35? Do not be naive. You won't win war with just some drones. Rocket artilery and air dominance is more important.
@@ataksnajpera Yeah because we all saw how effective "HIMARS? REAPERS? BRADLEYS? F-35" were in Iraq and Afghanistan.... All these expensive weapons the US has are great but can't stop these cheap drones from getting through and in a war of attrition / prolonged occupation, these drones are what will make all the difference.
Interesting to also see they are using a modified version of Ardupilot
We real IRANIAN people support Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤people from bottom of our hearts
YOU ARE NOT REAL IRANIAN
I wished I could give you a hundred thumbs up for this video. This is such great reporting, and by far the most detailed insight into the drone warfare in Ukraine. Thank you so much for this great reporting!!
Superb reportage.
you like nazi lovers reports about fuuking retard fighting for a corrupt country bravo you went full retard!!
I know more than one person who is getting out of the front line military due to the use of drones in conventional warfare, I can only imagine the fear they induce when they are overhead
There was itv program in uk called The Other Side that showed the Russian fear of such small drones it's done a lot of damage killed of lot of tools maimed many others slowing units down hard to hard-to-hit when high up and small. Also been others late at night showing their outposts being wiped out at night and retaken in miring and then retaken through the day again. Lots of dead bodies Russian and Ukrainians. no mercy on either side as Ukrainians call Russian troops many are kids They call them fagots and shoot them all after finding their dead allies of Ukraine dead in foxholes with many dead Russians scattered about and lost Russians spotted by drones 50m away and just shot dead due to lost fried and allies being found murdered.
@@123benley Anything Sean Langan makes is incredible
The sound of drones is going to trigger alot of veterans PTSD once this war is finnaly over
I heard somewhere there is literally 10,000 flying over Ukraine at 1 time. That's insane
If they ever get caught in a war by the opposing side, I can only imagine the horrors they will be put through.
The era of the "classic" drones is about to end due to the intense EW jamming. To be successful, a drone needs one of the 2 pre-conditions - either to be able to fly fully autonomous, without the need of being controlled from the ground or, to be operated by an army having the means to suppress the EW enemy equipment .
@@4johnybravo True but these are not cheap drones (you cannot do this with a cheap, toy like, drone similar to the ones Ukraine used to use)
recently photos of russian wire guided quadcopters have appeared. these are impervious to EW jamming. I also do believe that autonomous drones are the future aswell, which is only more terrifying. considering the current pace of technology its only a matter of time before those become cheap enough too
Do you know how many frequencies these are able to operate on? Commercially, it's 2.4 and 5.8 Ghz, and almost any where on the Mhz spectrum. To trully knock these out of the sky you'd need an EMP pulse, which would destroy all communication with in range. The work around will, and is, preprogramming a flight path. This will only work on stationary targets. You could also fly analogue, tethered, for close range. That type of weaponry will eliminate close range fighting in weeks. Power source and flight control from the ground.
Intense broadband EW jamming lights up the transmitter location like the NY Rockefeller Christmas tree. The jammer will be knocked out by conventional aircraft, artillery or special built "wild weasel" drones for the task. Also, keeping the broadband jammer active all the time jams your own friendly operations in the area. Its not so simple.
Superb documentary,must compliment you on this,thankyou.
Ukranians are smart, creative and resourceful. Necessity is the mother of invention. Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪 🔱 🌻
A War like no one has ever seen these drones are absolutely terrifying for both sides!
Israelis soldiers were injured killed by also drones iweapons coming from Iran , Ukrainian soldiers also had fled against these so many air drones in the war to terrorism from invasion
Excellent reporting and writing.
Terrific report. Thank you!
Kudos to the people of Ukraine We need such in Uganda for Bobi wine to liberate Uganda
It's crazy to even think, what's going to happen, when AI will be heavily incorporated in this kind of warfare.
Like the ai robot from robo cop you have 30 seconds to comply😂
Why not end all wars and be a civilization instead........ Duh!!!!
I'm thinking of multi-stage separation, like drones attached to a bigger drone that carries them to the combat area, then releases them to hit the targets and returns back. Both the carrier and combat drones can have a varying degrees of AI assistance incorporated. It could be very efficient and precise.
Rus Lancet that is
Skynet is just over the horizon
this is a fascinating documentary, thank you for producing
Dude has a cat on his arm while flying drones hahaha that cat is gonna get his attention no matter what
Cats are gonna be cats
Great video!
great video you must be a nazi lover !!!!
This war is one of the worst and I don't wanna bring the other wars in discredit but can you imagine constantly having to worry about something in the air that you cant see? Awful.
Psychologically I have no idea which is worse but I do know the sound of HUNDREDS of allied heavy bombers flying over your city in WW2 brought sheer terror to those on the ground. In Vietnam formations of high altitude B-52s would drop hundreds of bombs along miles of the Ho Chi Minh trail that would delete dozens of acres of jungle, and they had no clue the bombers were there until the bombs started going off. I can imagine the soft buzzing sound off a small drone will probably become the most common PTSD trigger for millions of people from this war, much like the sound of fireworks often sets off old veterans - but think about how many things these days make a soft buzzing sound? As you said, just awful.
Imagine being chased by an artillery shell with a brain
The Mavic drone is recreational. It allows the Russian soldiers to recreate themselves.
Brilliant reporting
Really interesting history. Never knew about the really early radio controlled ones. But it missed the first time drones were used effectively and that was the 1982 Israeli Lebanon war. When Israeli planes approached Syrian airspace - the air defense radars were turned on. Once the radar was on it became a target as the Israeli fighters were not actually fighters but drones. This allowed the Israelis to take out the Syrian radars.
In the beginning they show a clip of a Russian running around a burned up tank with a drone chasing him but stops before the conclusions. And I understand why. Because when he makes it around the next corner of the tank the drone catches him. It flies straight into his mid back and immediately turns him into pink mist. Mostly anyways. He shouldn't be there and has earned whatever happens. Doesn't change the fact that being chased by an artillery shell with a brain has to be one of the most terrifying things that could happen. We live in a time where a group of men can chase you around with drones while watching from 10 miles away. It's insane. We're in the future.
We’ve lived in that time for a while, with Reaper UCAV pilots flying counter insurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan from 100 miles away
Resistance 🇺🇦
You have lost Nazi boy

Cue the Terminator music.
This war certainly exposed and demonstrated the destructive power of drones that are far cheaper and so versatile to destroy enemies.
thanks for your hard work many thanks
The guy published 3 reports in 2 years. He is probably a Royal
@@user-us2nc6uu1s One report every 8 months, finding a reporter who is willing to go into an active combat zone likely isn’t easy. It’s much easier to find and detect a bot like you.
Damn right, DRONES are the present and the future.

Excellent reporting.
After the war Ukraine could become big exporter of war drones
After the war Ukraine will not exist any more.
We are already exporting drones to western ruzzia ;-)
@@internal_voice Sure you are you will win any day now...
The reporter is using the same images for different content. He shows the same images of a wrecked drone. On this video he says that the drone was shooted down by the Russian soldiers rifle fire. On other video, he shows the same images of the wrecked drone telling that it went down because of the cold weather.
We are all capable of being warriors and targets now. This is truly one very scary development in military capability. It's affordable to rich and poor alike.
Sean Bell and pilots like him are what make our flying forces the best in the world.
Drones are changing the battlefield but only boots on the ground can take and hold ground that is something that won’t change . War is always evolving and changing And I am sure other nations are thinking of ways to counter the drone .
You didn't watch the video or you wouldn't have started with boots on the ground. The old way is out in reality but not in people's minds
@@longtermstHow is a drone going to occupy territory?
@@cliffordyee745 Why is occupying territory a focus? Have you ever served? Do you plan to be the person pulling guard duty on the territory or will it be one of your children?
@@longtermstLOL, I'm a retired Marine with 5 combat deployments. How are the Ukrainians going to take back their land if they don't occupy it??
@@cliffordyee745 you should know better then. I'm retired Army. Invested in drone companies and keep my ear to the street. It doesn't matter because the military is scraping things like helicopter purchases and reclassing scouts because smaller drones can do it
Thank you
Chilling but realistic. Which army/airforce units have automatically become defunct by the creation of this FPV Drone sub-segment?
These will definitely will outlawed
Never would have thought that drones would force Army's back into trench warfare as fast as the tank stopped it.
When a drone is overhead, the WORST place you can be is a trench, you can only go forwards or back, the sides are blocked and need to be mantled over slowly. and it’s impossible to “dig in” to reduce your profile and avoid the blast. It’s a LOOOOOONG coffin
IDK. Don't you think that some of this information violates OPSEC? I doubt if the Russians would allow someone to film what they do for the internet.
Publicity helps to attract capital and support. Russia is economically and diplomatically isolated, so they have no reason for this. Also, I don't think this report includes anything that's not already known.
Ukraine is winning the war on social media… 😅
These are no secrets.
This conflict is like WW1 and WW2 but with drones
Millitary hardware is obviously designed for lethality but often for its prestige value as well. If your not concerned with designing world leading weapons that showcase your technical sophistication, you can still design deadly yet simplistic weapons systems. Fortunately, an RPG is lethal whether its shot, thrown, or zip tied to a drone. Ukraine is concerned with survival so the need for cost efficiency, simplicity and ease of production are the driving design factors.
At the start of your para#2 I think I would change the word 'fortunately' to 'UNfortunately', maybe more fitting in the context of the current carnage...
Soon there will be swamps of fully autonomous AI drones that hunt down enemy combatants. We are fast approaching Skynet Terminator ☠️‼️
The communication link will always be the Achilles heel of drones. Therefore the future will be a mix of small autonomous AI drones and larger drones with jam-resistant onboard satellite links. Coincidentally enough (?) the Starlink system sold by SpaceX would be perfect for the larger drones.

_" ... tanks are only used as artillery ..."_ Unless you have a modern airforce. That Raybird 3 sure is a nice looking piece of kit to have been developed during a frickin war. Ukraine is going to end up being a hub for the development and manufacturing of certain classes of military hardware, when this is all over. They will have economically valuable war expertise in numerous areas. No matter where the lines are finally drawn on the maps, Russia is going to end up with a _more_ powerful, more capable neighbor on their border, as a result of Putin's extreme foolishness. So much for demilitarization. This was all tragically feckin pointless, and Putin will come to an unpleasant end, I predict.

The Russians began to actively use powerful FAB-1500 high-explosive aerial bombs against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, capable of undermining the defense of Ukraine, One-and-a-half-ton FAB-1500s consist of high-explosive explosives by almost half. They are dropped from fighters from a distance of about 60-70 kilometers, where Ukrainian air defense systems do not reach. The damage caused by them is very serious. If you survive, you're guaranteed to have a concussion. This puts a lot of pressure on the morale of the soldiers. Not everyone can stand it.
great reporting here!
From February 24, 2022 to March 11, 2024, about 424,980 Russian personnel were killed or wounded in Ukraine, including 920 soldiers in the past 24 hours.
I was 16 when I first saw Pong, it was fascinating. How far we have come. Be careful of these machines. Instead fascination. They become our masters
They can't be that hard to jam. Problem is probably the range of that jamming and the fact you're jamming yourself too. Need to adapt a short range LIDAR system or something that can at least tell you when one is within a KM or two. Then some sort of point defense weapon. A flachette shell, a laser, a CWIS (too expensive) or even a 30cal or something.

At 13:42, is that stove made out of 3 tank or truck wheels stacked one on top the other? I don't know what salvaged tank wheels look like, but, these look rimmed like wheel.
I caught that too. Gotta admire a tinkerer.
All the more reason to run like your life depends on it from enlistment.

Spooky.

@@UsurperDogheart no i dont want to

Great video thanks 😊
GPS has revolutionized War....
AI drones. Skynet is here.
Drones ..small missiles ...small rockets ..and cheap ammo causing more damage ..more cheaply ..and difficult to deal with or eliminate ..is the new mantra of modern warfare ..
Most of the times it's war that innovates. Now it's innovations that creates new warfare.
10,000 at once. I didnt think it had reached that extent yet
Excellent reporting. Very informative.
Nice a greeting from El Salvador 😮
forgot to mention that guy they killed had over 900 fpv drones kills.
Excellent report.
The footage out there is terrifying. It seems to me completely inhumane. On all sides.
Where did you see humane war ? But war can be just and unjust.
No war is just, just a conflict of interests.@@anatolyex
Man...what a country will do for the West,EU & NATO 😬
Intense Surveillance using drones and from space as well, of the present Russian Occupied Territories could be key to any settlement of this conflict now or in the future. Even if Ukrainian Forces just remained in their present position but extended their Air Space then the End Game will be Russian Forces having to pull back. Putins Invasion would have failed. The chance of Ukraine winning this war with Russia is in the balance. Speaker Johnson blocking the Aid Bill has been the single most important factor in prolonging this conflict. Slava Ukraini

fpv drone are brutel this little thing blows up russian tanks
At $300 it is so economical. And if built locally makes it better then expensive shells
Downside is that they're way slower than cruise and ballistic missiles, so they're not a complete substitute.
Why is India unable to produce small drones which are cheap and in large numbers for military use ...
That's right the drone operators are just as vulnerable.
This has progressed into the most interesting perfectly executed testing ground environment?
They need jet drones with AI to beat interference.
Would bladeless fan technology work on these types of drones? The drones would be scary quiet.
Eye for a eye
17:11 blurring the face, but not the name tag ...
My guess is it was flying too low and clipped a tree just before the field. Note the long trail in the field right up to the burned airframe. It was a very shallow crash that spanned the length of the field.
The fpv drones are absolutely devastating if you’ve seen telegram.
Raise the age of enlistment again
If ANY nation is still making tanks that cant withstand a $800 drone....WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!
The need for anti drone guns and lots of personal armor, full face ballistic helmets
Drones are super effective ... cheap and accurate. And you actually get to see people getting blown to bits. Russian drones cam are not as high quality though or perhaps they deliberately lower the quality. The Ukrainian ones on the other hand are extremely graphic and they have hi=--res cam drone that can zoom in to record people blowing up.
Just one state of the art missile can be exchanged with 100 drones with more precision. That's nowadays warfare.
It’s not really AI it’s just a complex algorithm like many functions already in place in multiple weapon systems
No. Ukraine already has FPV drones with machine vision. It approaches the target autonomously last hundreds meters
I'm sure thankful I'm not in Ukraine fighting this new kind of war.
Don't hear much news about Ukraine victories these days, not that they had any for some time can't remember the last, all you hear is about Russia Victories. Ukraine has truely lost this war.
And at the current pace Russia will reach Kiev in 2150 and lose 20 million troops getting there.
Yes!
@@basilmcdonnell9807 Doesn't work like that, the war won't be won by slowly taking the next trench line, it will be won when one side runs out of men willing to fight. Russia is sending volunteers to Ukraine while Ukraine is kidnapping old and sick men off the street so which side to you think that will be?
Russia has more drones including AI and EW gear.
This is like WWI it shadows WWII... Soon AI will fight, and then what follows, hiw meny will live?
Degree centigrade? Bro it is called Celsius
In the age of the atomic 💣 killer drones just aggravate the situation… please think about solutions how to stop the war this is what we need
Thanks a lot for great reporting Godbless you and all soldiers of Ukraine❤️🇺🇦🙏
WOW!!
