"Kwacha game" with the participation of the Russian occupier and the Ukrainian FPV drone.

☠️ But you cannot escape from fate. Especially if the operator of the 4th Mehbat of the Presidential Brigade is at the remote control.

It depends on how common guys like this are. Literally mind bending maneuverability is possible with quadcopters... For a price; It comes down to how much you want to spend killing one soldier though. I've been reading some things about the Ukrainian ones, and I get it now.

Their mindset is more focused on price performers, detonating more than 100 commercial off-the-shelf drones daily, without even bothering to harden them against EW. This has hampered their range significantly, but they don't mind. Under normal circumstances a quadcopter can range a few km, but in this warzone it's closer to 500m.

Pilots like the one above are rare enough that you need a great reason to put them in a warzone. Quadcopters like the ones he uses aren't cheap, either. I think Ukraine is doing incredible work and approaching their task correctly, on review. I come at this from a hobbyist perspective, which sees higher skill levels but is currently a lot less practical in warfare terms.
