The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) has posted a video of two Russian helicopters and a warplane chasing a Ukrainian drone in temporarily occupied Crimea.
Is that a propeller powered drone? I’m surprised the chopper couldn’t down it at that range.
You know, the drone operator was also surprised:
"🔥 Two enemy helicopters and a plane failed to shoot down the Ukrainian drone during a long chase (VIDEO)
💪 UAVs of the Main Directorate of Intelligence are increasingly coming out unscathed not only after meeting with Ruscist air defense, but also in direct contact with enemy aircraft.
📌 In the video, a Ukrainian UAV flying in the area of Cape Tarkhankut is being chased by two combat helicopters and one plane. Despite continuous fire, our drone left the “battlefield” unscathed and successfully returned to base.
“They are sort of clumsy-handed…”, the UAV operator commented on the situation."
It seems like this drone is indeed propeller powered.
“We’re lucky they’re so fucking stupid.”
the UAV operator commented on the situation as follows: “What a bunch of clumsy losers…”.
Hahaha 😂
I don’t know if using helicopters for air defense, especially at that range, is such a great idea. Drones – maybe larger than this one – can carry MANPADS and can definitely down helicopters at much greater range.
