   A Russian soldier takes down a Ukrainian quadcopter with an "anti-drone" gun. BTW we need a cooler name for these things.

     @Terry Funny how all these just work by cutting the link on civvie drones so they auto-land. If you were to interfere with a mil one, it would just go into a holding pattern until it regains signal. Would probably have to jam GPS signals, too, if you could

     Wonder if we’ll see AA gun crews with that setup, meant to cut the link and fire on the expected pattern

     @Terry Aren’t most of these like, prosumer stuff? Kinda surprised we aren’t seeing more racing drones, actually. Compact, quick, harder to ID

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I guess the civ models are cheaper. Only about 3-4 grand I think.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot the models they use have night vision and IR

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Terry that's a DJI Mavic, probably a mavic 3. About $1500 and they come with a fairly quality daylight camera. The control API is fairly open so there are plugins for the common UAS systems.
