I am surprised hobbyists haven't created a larger homemade attack drone, similar to what Yemen makes (2 cylinder engine, PVC-foam-fiberglass body, mostly consumer electronics), but with a mobile as the controller. Has GPS for targeting-crude altimeter-speed, and orientation (angle) sensors built in.

In Australia we have very strict limits on communication power and distance. I know a lot of other countries are similar. I can do just line of sight to a fair distance just on what is legal in civilian, but doing full video stream remote over distance is the only thing stopping me from running up prototypes. Any suggestion?

@@axle.australian.patriot Your country are HUGE, buy a pinch of ground in sime god forgotten land and make fun stuff for yourself, if its successful just communicate with police to tell situation, law is form of peoples will, it should adapt, and dont try to do stupidity

@@user-fu2sg4vt3d I can make drones and and other remote operated vehicles.. It's just finding a way to do some distance without having to sign up on a military contract. But ultimately I may have to just use high power transmitters and risk the fines... Just prefer to avoid getting off side with authorities if I can.

@@1SCme I can't use mobile phone, and satellite is ridiculous expensive and restricted.

Someone's got to make all the tech and gizmos the fighters running around outside can use. Just goes to show ya just because you were in the chess club and barely made it through PE doesn't mean you can't be a bad ass with a spread sheet and a soldering iron.

@@VektrumSimulacrum the 'geeks' are some of the most important folks on today's battlefield. Thank goodness for them.

@@WesleyHarcourtSTEAMandMORE Completely agree. If I wasn't getting into wine making so much I'd probably take a serious run at building drone-type stuff.

amazing comment!

@@VektrumSimulacrum wine is way more important, it can save lives too

Ukraine cleverly deploying resources to maximum effect. An advanced education country, willing to fight, will be victorious over a country that spent it's resources developing weapons, but certainly not it's people. Take a video tour through any area of Russia outside the major cities, you see an economy where the yearly income is much less than even in India. Slava Ukraine, and thanks for posting !!

@@als1023 👍

THIS GUY IS AWESOME..OMG I LOVE HIM..KEEP MAKING THOSE DRONES..

Strike them at night and make them sleepless and tired. That will demolished their morale. 😎👍

Imagine putting a firearm on these drones and strafing ruskie troops. That would be awesome!

How do they manage to drop an explosive from a quadcopter and hit the target?

@@abdelaleem4026 Its really not that hard of a thing to pull off, although it is kinda finicky. They use simple mechanisms like a strap that holds a grenade to the drone, and a servo that pulls the strap off, and down goes the grenade. They hit their targets using the cameras that are onboard the drones. A lot of the times its pretty hard to aim the explosives, but the great thing about these drones is that they're so cheap that its not really a problem to strap another grenade on to the drone and try again. Most of what I'm saying is from my experience as an RC hobbyist, which is what most of these guys are. I'm sure Ukraine has more advanced drones that they use too, although I wouldn't know much about those because they probably want to keep most of that information to themselves.

Actually, DJI drones mostly forbidden, because DJI of China sold to Russia systems to track their drones. Few times already, after using their drones - russians do instant shelling at the location.

yes dji made in china

Kind of like how we underestimated Russia's commitment to seeing this attack through. We thought we'd break them with sanctions, yet they're still fighting.

Where the hell did you get this information from ? They have computer studies like typing and so on ! Coding in primary school 🤣

Just look at soldering (wire twisting). LOL

@@waydeyoung2748 we actually do, its kind of very basic stuff only though, in my times it was simple pascal and delfi programs, but its there and most kids understand at least the concept of it.

@@waydeyoung2748 I don't know why you are suprised by it. In most European countries you learn basics of coding in primary school.

whilst the russian army, not some random russian geeks, the literal russian army, is using a water bottle as a fuel tank for their drones

Intelligence information is often what decides the fate of battle.

@@VictoryAviation Yeah, there was another video I saw within the last day showing that one pilot was acting as an artillery spotter. The Russians thought they could hide a few tanks in the woods well away from the road.... NOPE. At least one pilot also got footage catching the Russians red-handed lying about not murdering civilians in cold blood.

@@Entropy512 saw both of those. They’re great examples on the power of micro aerial observation in modern conflicts.

I never thought my Mavic mini would be such a game changer on a battlefield. I'm glad I was wrong.

"The geek shall inherit the earth" (not the meek).

Definitely! Nothing wrong with nerds! 👍 They're doing a brilliant job.....pity they can't get "cheap" drones from the likes of Elon Musk, and convert them.

Oh most definitely. Utilising this area of work has always been essential in war and should be done even more so at times like this when our generation are able to show our potential in a way that hasn’t been allowed to fully express itself before despite how lifesaving it can be. It finally started poking its head out more from the older generations in WWII, but now it’s making its appearance again properly at a university plus level in this war. I love it. We are ready. All we have to do now is scale it up.

@@Mortthemoose It is a bit of a shame. Elon hasn’t really shown a huge amount of interest in drone development. And in all honesty I’m not entirely surprised considering that sector is already developing well on its own. But thankfully either way a lot of both cheaper and more expensive drones are flying (pun not intended) into Ukraine right now to be utilised.

The nerds get all the high paying IT help desk jobs 💰 💰

I agree.

Would love to invest on thier company after the war end😊

They already have high level aerospace sectors, armaments and rocket manufacturing and computer science skills. Add that to large agriculture, energy and a freel social democracy and they will beat most never mind russia.

DJI IS CHINESE DRONES THAT THEY ARE USING. TRY AGAIN.

Not "if", but "when"

Can you tell more about what kind of ideas and tech help you were providing to them?

I was on that. Fun times!

@@fender10g im not sure fun is the right word. But its nice to know that we helped

@@nettle4744 i can.

These are strange and very dangerous times . I agree , scrub all identifiers in images and imbedded data

First thing I was thinking when I saw this video as well. Dangerous to release something like this, especially when dealing with Russia

Or the inside of the building Russian intelligence won't find it that hard to identify that exact building just by seeing the inside

He will be hired by Lockheed Martin after the war is over.

He is a warrior, not a coward

It's a Special Delivery Drone service!

Would be interested too, I'm part of a german model aviation club, seems like that's what they are basically using, I'm sure we could at least provide modules etc.

Local embassy normally provide potential businessmen with necessary contact details.. 😁 Wish you luck with your project 💥👏👌 Be ware of eventual sanctions and legal regulations..

Contact details is bad opsec. I'm surprised they let us see his face..

I'll try to get in touch with them

Prob a Russian bot trying to infiltrate

There have been pictures showing old style anti tank grenades with 3D printed tails that can be dropped by drones.

At any sort of useful scale 3d printing is awful, those drones aren't printed

The point is no-one is supposed to know where they are doing this build work. The Russian's on the other hand have growing anxiety.

Not the russians... they don't have the same.mindset as western armies. They'll just keep throwing numbers in the war and that's about it

These small drones probably are used against troops rather than armor. They only carry 4 kg bombs.

@@kaianttila1619 4kg shaped charge dropped onto the engine deck of a tank may be enough to cripple it

If those guys or their entire air force are still in Ukrainian soil, then they are truly heroes... Post war... I think Putin is going to have his hands full for the next 20 years or so, if he survives that long, to worry about guys like him.

Well this is the British wing of the PR machine so I'm sure they're in a very safe location.

@@ByronBohte true, but I was thinking about the in people the video. I saw a report that Russians are hunting for drone cells by trying to identify them but there is a reward/risk and I'm sure they are wanting more drone pilots out of this

@@Mike-ew8nj there's a lot of EW jamming going on. I'd be more concerned about the east, south east of the country. This location could've even been on the border.

yeah, its a shame. they'll hear '10x drones per week' and start making 100x /week themselves. the future battle field is going to be littered in plastic and metal.

But a good opening for letting the person explain.

Yup, showing his face is not a great idea.

mass production make them cheap thats why

Dont look up dat little bot 🤣🖕

Hopefully drones will become a more standard thing as well on the QE class ships very soon.

@@danielwhyatt3278 Sadly they can't since they have no way to launch them unless the UK creates vertical lift drones or uses helicopter drones. I do hope for the best. I really wish their was a launcher be it steam or electricity on the QE

@@ThatCarGuy Yeah I don’t think the vertical lift off will be a problem. We can probably transition over to multiple medium-sized Quadcopter drones on the QE or flying wing designs to make use of the ramp that is built into the aircraft carriers. Especially as when they are smaller they don’t usually have to worry too much about A short range take off track.

@@danielwhyatt3278 "We can probably transition over to multiple medium-sized Quadcopter drones" Agreed something like the US MQ-8 fire scout until the UK can make their own would be great. " flying wing designs to make use of the ramp that is built into the aircraft carriers. Especially as when they are smaller they don’t usually have to worry too much about A short range take off track." They still need a launcher as they are usually heavy, especially if they carry any kind of payload, nor are they the fastest do to their low observable design and why their IR signature is so low. For example the B2 is 628mph/1000kph, so it's not even supersonic.

Could be done with a 3d printers and raspberry pi

lol

The Terra Powerlifter is a hang glider drone......
