Полювання на окупантів від операторів «Альфи» СБУ

Лише за останні два тижні оператори FPV-дронів Центру спецоперацій «Альфа» СБУ «відмінусували» понад 4,5 тис. російських окупантів.

Для ворожої піхоти це не просто статистика, а серйозні втрати. І причина боятися будь-якого звуку в небі та кожної посадки попереду.

Honest question. How come they haven't tried to define a sort of strategy or tool to help them in this situations? Not saying is simple or possible, but some sort of net, or form of evasion that might have more chances.

The second one might have had a chance if he had thrown the blanket over the drone instead of using a shield.

Honestly, what can you do? Most of these guys barely have time to pull the trigger without aiming before the drone is in death range. A bunch of the clips had a second drone watching from a distance, probably ready with a second charge. Maybe you get lucky once, I doubt you get lucky twice.

You could imagine solutions to an explosive fpv drone in a test range scenario. Maybe flechette/buckshot from a 40mm grenade system. A net thrown like pocket sand.

I don't see how any of these are practical in the open field, or with 5s reaction time.
