Is there an equivalent to drone dog fighting? In that case, we may as well shift warfare to that.

- trenchpilgrim 1y agoSorta - in Ukraine there have been instances of drones killing other drones, mostly by ramming them. But it's all very new.
- jacquesm 1y agoThere have been thousands of such instances by now. Ramming is indeed the most frequently used option. Depending on the target drone there are different defender drones in use. Some favor altitude and duration of flight, others favor speed. It all depends on what you are trying to hit, what sensor package and what kind of flight conditions you will face (day/night for instance).
- simne 1y agoWhat you mean? Aerobatic? - Anti-air weapons all based on maneuverability much exceed planes with human pilots. - Anti-missile maneuver based on limited energy in missile, because it is usually ~100 times smaller then plane, and square-cube rule mean, missile could make active flight just few seconds - if plane survive these seconds it win. Stealth planes are new tier in warfare, because enemy see them when already lost time need to launch anti-air weapons.
- walrus01 1y agoYes, there's already Ukrainian fpv flown quadcopters which are optimized to intercept, as a munition, common flying wing camera surveillance platforms. I've seen probably 20 or 30 different videos now taken from the view of the quadcopter, with detonator contact wires sticking out the front, diving into the rear of a large Russian flying wing UAV.
