However, even then, it would be difficult to spot since most IR detecting devices have a very low resolution. The cable is just too thin to see it there.

If it helps, “kamikaze drone” is a term used mostly by the media and is not considered official.

This is to keep their definition in line with other explosive delivery devices, such as rockets, torpedoes, cruise missiles, etc.

As someone has said already "kamikaze drone" is really only used by the news media and people that don't know better.

I disagree completely. Physically slicing drone wires is impractical. Thats one step better then having a guy with a sword on drone duty. Until a fast system is created that quickly detects a drone & uses a large shotgun like blast to destroy them is created, there will be vulnerabilities. The benefit of this is that such a system could also be used with radio controlled drones, rather then hoping your sharp winged drone happens to be in the right area at the right time. If you flew a sharp drone into the drones wire, it couldnt cut. The wire is tethered on a literal fishing reel spool on release. The attacking drone would just pull out a lot of wire from the spool while it was wrapped on the wing...
@thoughtpolice519114 сағат бұрын
Yeah, if you manage to detect the drone and then try to severe the wire behind it, you could as well shoot/ram the drone itself. Most drones are still radio guided so it does not make sense to create a complicated and expensive counter measure that only works against some drones.

There are plenty of counters Soldiers dangle very thing string which gets caught in the drone for example from trees, windows doorways etc. cheap and easy counter. Shotguns and also AK rounds which act like shotgun shells this is better than actual shotguns since troops can just be issued a magazine with this type of ammunition. Why slice the cable when you could just ram the drone as I've seen dome with simply a stick attached. Failing that a shotgun as ive also seen them do. Airburst ammunition. I've seen one company with airburst ammunition fired from a 30mm on the back of a technical. It's cheap (relatively) and effective. Like all things in war multiple approaches will be used. Maybe soldiers will become specialised drone hunters (as I've seen some Russians) carrying power packs for hammers, shotguns and other gear to help take down drones. Lasers at the back near static infrastructure and hard points or mounted to navy ships where powers not an issue and auto cannons with airburst filling in gaps

Wonder how if a light frequency could penetrate the shielding on the fiber optic cable. To me right now light frequencies might be the way to defeat the fiber optic cable drones.

@ was just thinking out loud, fiber optics are not my field, know nothing about how they are shielded or what would disrupt their function.

So if it flies 1km or 10km surely the majority of them get tangled in trees and such. The cable will fall to the ground. So how many are actually effective? Seems to me they are quick just to lauch from field distance away. 100 - 300m.... Not much countering other than shotguns or drone v drone.

Snagging is not a problem at all. The coil is on the drone itself and it unspools as the drone flies. They use wires up to 20 km long.

@playerforty4621 think about what you are saying. The cable is not moving so it cannot get snagged.

😂The Royal Navy need laser defence from drones now not in a a couple of years. UKRAINE is the warfare laboratory and the advances of AI are needed now!
