Mike needs to do LARP series called “Special Operations” that teaches tactics and survival training in action. Mike and his friends get set an objective, while another team of special operations soldiers hunt them down trying to prevent them from reaching the objective. A small camera crew is with both teams. Everyone is in full kit with blank firing weapons or sim rounds to add to the intensity. The video format can be like a documentary style show. The missions will last over the course of a few hours, the whole day, or even days. However long it takes them to complete it and then they make their way to exfil while the soldiers are still hunting them down. Any thing can happen, from an ambush, or someone gets split from the group unexpectedly like a lone survivor type situation. The two teams can be told to go patrol and maybe encounter each other leading to a firefight. Night operations. Search and destroy bomb sites. One team must protect a factory sized building while not knowing that another team is quietly making their way in. Or they can reenact real situations that our troops experienced while overseas. Im spit balling but i think this would be super interesting to watch and learn from.

Recently, opinions have been divided among the Ukrainian military regarding the use of civilian drones as a strike tool. Opponents of this point out that striking a civilian drone increases its chance of being shot down. Drones are quite expensive and are bought mainly by volunteers, and to get a new one you have to wait an indefinite amount of time. During this time, the unit will not have "eyes" in the sky and thus the advantage will be on the side of the enemy. It is more effective to use a drone to correct more serious "arguments": AGS, Mk. 19, mortars, artillery. However, it is great to see a target and immediately attack it, which is why the Ukrainian charity fund "Aerorozvidka" developed a special R-18 attack octocopter in 2019. It can carry 5 kg, is bigger and more reliable and can fly further than civilian variants. An improved version of the R-34 is also under development, it seems to carry more than 10 kg.

[@yarik6024]

But drones are cheaper than artillery. AGS AND MK-19 are completely different

The payload release can also be triggered by the pilot or when the drone loses power, so even if you shoot it down above you, you still need to find cover asap.

[@rogymasri2181]

In Mosul, Iraq 2017, we were constantly worried about homemade drones by ISIS. They literally put grenades in little red cups and would tip the drone when the were over their target. Definitely caused a lot of PTSD for those on the ground in Mosul. I still get anxious around the buzzing of drones.

@@History_Nurd No you don't. RU soldier get's wounded by a drone, guy knows he isn't gonna get any help. After rolling around in pain for a few seconds he pulls out a grenade from his kit and commits suicide with said grenade. Other vids out there, some RU soldiers/conscripts committed suicide with their rifles after being badly wounded by a drone; shit is dark as fuck. This war isn't a fucking movie or game to watch and enjoy. These are still real ppl with families back home who care about their friends and family out there on the battlefield. Lots of the conscripts and regular professional soldiers(non-drafted/conscripted) are out there fighting for RU against their will. They can't walk away from the battlefield either because they face execution/torture by their own comrades if they try to run or surrender to Ukraine cuz RU command doesn't tolerate it and punishes them harshly. Don't dehumanize someone not on the side you support.

back before I graduated, 2017-2019, my university (school of engineering and computer science) and many other unis were given substantial research grants for drone and anti drone research. Some of the projects I saw going on at my own school was stuff like EMP "cannon" made to disable drones, sophisticated drone swarms (1 guy could easily command many drones, force multiplier), autonomous drones, and drones that could continue to function in limited capacity if they experienced damage (adaptive controllers,. use: if shot they can still probably kamikaze to the target). The government has a good understanding on how to weaponize and counter drones compared to the private/civilian sector. Glad to see the 2A community catching on to drones, They are not hard things to learn to fly and use. And for the more tech savvy, not to terribly complicated to implement autonomous, swarm, and adaptive functionality just by copying peoples work on github. We should have as much interest in drones and drone components, microcontrollers, saving code bases and files offline, 3D printers as we do with guns, ammo, and armor.

[@RoboArc]

Trust me bros, they don't have them yet. Mostly because it's hella expensive to build kamikaze drones that are cheap enough. You start sticking on 120$ optics you don't wanna blow it up

[@BigDavoNorriwong]

Japanese drones? Made by Sony and Panasonic no doubt

[@RoboArc]

Best use for drones is probably recon missions, long range attacks, drone to drone combat, random attacks. And you can build a drone with stuff off Amazon that is 10 x more deadly than anything you csn buy commercially. Also laws don't really work at all on crime and stuff like this. All I need a computer, know how to program at least one language to lean C++ or python and I could have a weapon that's way scary 😄. Arduinos, rasbery pi, some long range antenna, some batteries, some high powered motors, a gyro+ GPS ( actually, don't even need that if you have dead recongning software or can code it for less than 800 lines ) and then bam you have enough stuff to start making a weapon 😄 A 3d printer, maybe like 4,000$ in parts and tools. And you'll have a big ass drone 😄 Another 3k and you got an ak47 stripped down on a servo mount with a 100rnd drum 😂 Another 1k and you have night vision and lidar over I2C with some nice sensors. Now you can do A2A combat. And you've only spent maybe a year on this. I'm a robotics engineering student, and a lot of our studies apply to weapons. Anyone who csn build hardware ans software can build almost anything these days with computers and CNCs becoming available in the home. In the future you'll see domestic drones engaged in probably heavy criminal activity like gang War or prison breaks.

[@Steven-gv1ke]

More importantly, imagine someone using these drones on you or your squad while you are distracted by being in the middle of a fire fight. The constant shots would make it almost impossible to hear the drone, and who is scanning the sky for a tiny drone in the middle of a fire fight? Now even worse, imagine a dozen of these drones coming overhead at once and making some well placed drops with nobody on the ground realizing it... It would be devastating.

True, this is actually worse, because they're small and hard to hit, deliver a not-insignificant payload to groups or individuals, and aren't really high enough to compare to helis or jets. A very terrifying intermediary air threat between helis and jets and the ground.
