> > A moving quad is really hard to hit by gun > A properly trained human with a military rifle can hit a quad easily. A FCS controlling a military gun does mince meat of them. I honestly have no idea where you started on this. I was talking about defensive use of quads to foul the propulsion system of another aircraft. > There is a reason quads are not used offensively and it’s not because no one thought about it. Again, I am talking about AA, (Anti-Aircraft) weapons to take out incoming cruise missiles or Iranian drones. This is a DEFENSIVE tool. However, you have to work pretty hard to avoid the fact that there are hundreds of videos of drones being used offensively in UA. Additionally, welcome to 2023 [0]. >You are confused about what kind of altitude we are talking about here. There are dozens of videos of Iranian drones flying at altitudes where UA soldiers are shooting at them with rifles. It looks like the altitudes are sub 1000m, easily. Any quadcopter can hit an altitude of 1000m with a simple checkbox unchecked. The range is no problem, the air density is no problem. You good sir or madame, are the one who is confused on this topic, or at least thread. If I was previously unclear, I hope to have addressed that in this comment.

> I honestly have no idea where you started on this. I was talking about defensive use of quads to foul the propulsion system of another aircraft. You were replying to one of my comment explaining that drones are not good for offensive action because they are vulnerable. Also there is no point in trying to foul a propulsion system. That’s extremely unlikely to happen and there are simpler way to disable an aircraft (like just having it collide with something). > There are dozens of videos of Iranian drones flying at altitudes where UA soldiers are shooting at them with rifles. It looks like the altitudes are sub 1000m, easily. Low flying aircrafts which can be shot at are easy to disable with traditional canons. That’s cheap and effective. Why do you want to use quadcopters for that? That never was the point.
