Russian Soldier's Anti-Drone Weapon Does Not Work as Advertised
Published 2 years ago
A Russian Soldier wielding what appears to be an anti-drone jamming system finds out a few seconds too late that the technology does not work as advertised.
I mean honestly, can we really say we're surprised on this video? DARPA, the border patrol, the U.S. Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force have all been attempting to develop this technology for the better part of a decade now, and none of them have seen any real success. Somehow the Russians think they figured it out in six months of combat with the Ukrainians. Not sure what's giving this Russian Soldier his confidence in aiming this thing at the commercial drone overhead recording the video. I think I would have already been on the way to the nearest hole in the ground when the drone didn't immediately start to descend.
He's sitting in a fighting position dug with entrenching tools that probably saw combat action in Afghanistan back in the 1980s, wearing a sheet metal SAPI plate with a helmet that's not rated to stop a strong kick from a combat boot. Yet there he is, with a plastic radio gun designed probably within the last six months, trying to bring down a Ukrainian drone armed with a 3D printed munition delivery system being flown by a guy with an iPhone a few kilometers away from him. I wish I had half the confidence of the Russian in this video to be frank with everyone reading this.
The exact location and date that this video was filmed is currently unknown.
