A larger version of these should be developed to take down the Orlan 10 Russian drones. Interestingly enough, the creator of this interceptor drone was born in Kiev.
- sudosysgen 4y agoAt this point you're just thinking of a crappier, more expensive, electric MANPAD. It would not be trivial to make one of these that can climb to 1km and acquire a target 2-3km away at over 200km/h. You'd be better off with a solid propellant, saclos guidance, and a fragmentation warhead.
- mburee 4y agoWouldn't even need propellant for these, Rheinmetall has some ammo they program as it's leaving the barrel to fragment just a couple metres before the target
- sudosysgen 4y agoYes, the issue is guidance though, bullets that can maneuver are extremely expensive also.
- DonHopkins 4y agoAfter viewing the Optical Remote Control video (the last on the page), I wonder if they only use artificial turds for training purposes, but drop live turds on actual Russian jammers?
