Unsuccessful attempt by a Russian FPV kamikaze drone to get into a group of our military while moving
At first, the fighters took it for their own, but they realized in time that the drone was hostile and managed to react
Damn, every time I see this, I think about how we’re like 5 years from production man-hacks from existing. I feel like it’s too late to put the cat back in the bag, but I really liked FPV as a hobby. Now I’m worried that every commodity part to build a drone will be regulated in a decade. Seems like a long-shot given how ubiquitous ESCs, BLDCs, etc. are but maybe FC’s or otherwise could be restricted. Just a rambling thought. Glad these guys are okay!
yeah, but it is all standard parts and chips, there will always be ways to make FCs and etc
Yeah, I mean any board with an IMU and a microcontroller will make an adequate FC. Not really sure how to articulate my worry lol
honestly this is a new part of the changing world… still waiting on the first US mass-droning.
I’m glad I was able to build and fly a few of them before the regulations came about.
Man, these guys need to spread out when walking. I would have crapped myself.
The drone was probably drunk.
