Footage of World's First Drone Dogfight
- photoGrant 3y agoIndeed this is footage, but this is far from the world's first. Fun watch.
- consumer451 3y agoThis is the first one that I’ve seen involving a fixed wing craft.
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoThere have probably been a few we haven't seen. A better title might be 'first recorded footage.'
- iAMkenough 3y agoThere have probably been a few recordings we haven’t seen.

- EchoChamberMan 3y agoUnquestionably. And?
- iAMkenough 3y agoAnd: “first recorded footage” might not be an accurate title either.
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoNo, it might not. But as I said, it "might" be. Clearly accurate would be "recorded dogfight footage," even more accurate might be "recorded dogfight footage with a fixed wing craft." As another poster mentions though[1], I'm not even sure this qualifies as dog-fighting since one craft rams another. It seems like more of a kamikaze attack. The grandparent comment only states "fixed wing," but includes no suggestions or improvements. They also make the argument with what is effectively "In my experience..." which is rather poor evidence, as it fails to leave out the near infinite other possible experiences people have. Maybe they meant to say "Out of the 1000s of videos I've seen of UAVs fighting, this is the only one with a fixed wing craft," but they left that part out. The only plausible explanation I have for the original title is clickbait. Criticism is easy; constructive criticism is harder.

- nickmcc 3y agoYearly at FliteFest, an RC airplane festival put on by FliteTest, we hold a dogfight/combat with hundreds of airplanes. The only difference is no munitions (excluding pesky LiPo fires) https://youtu.be/_NFBpoD6jcw?si=YwPuus0qeq8xgj4I https://youtu.be/_NFBpoD6jcw?si=YwPuus0qeq8xgj4I

- pangolinja 3y agonot the first, not even the fiftieth I've seen this conflict. first one I've seen Ukraine win though. with all the losing, taking down one drone is a big success for the Nazis.
- morbicer 3y agoTake your nonsense elsewhere, this is not a place for alt-truth. Nothing is black and white but in this conflict it's clear which side is the evil one.
- RecycledEle 3y agoI do not consider ramming to be a dogfighting tactic.
