and considering this is urban warfare equipment more than anything else it seems
Actually not the engine
The engine is probably way smaller than its wings
And hitting the wings will make it veer off course very quickly
Sure, if it's 5 meters away you're gonna be in big trouble
sure if you do enough damage to wing whats profile is directly towards you
Well except if you hit it with very small caliber, those kind of drones aren't made to be very tough
i mean
thats sula 30
there aint much to hit unless you can fuck gyro
Oh I was thinking of a wider wingspan
Then it's even worse
its basicly just urban cruise missile
If you hit the main body you'll probably fuck up the insides
miniature tomahawk
if they are not armored on military gear...
Which will contain the telemetry and communication instrument
You can't really put armor on it
It's a small drone, not a fighter jet
thick enough glass if its visualy guided and done
small camera hole does not need that much glass to be protected
Same for the body frame
i mean it aint hellfire what has eye size of a fist what gimbals
i watched a video where some guys were flying an RC plane, and they would fly it around, land it, then use a holesaw to put a hole probably the size of a coke can in it, then try to fly it again and by the time it was finally not able to fly anymore, there was more plane gone then there was left
so its gonna be pretty tough to stop something thats flying at you
and if that wingspan is 2 meters then that pod in the midle is probly closer to 20-30 cm?
RC plane don't carry a 2kg payload, nor military grade com equipment
nor have military grade motors and engineering in them
rc planes *can* and *do* carry a 2kg payload
Which is shit if you've been anywhere near military grade equipment in your life
so indeed shooting small and fast fucker like that whats coming right at you from any angle would be nightmare
shoot it with CIWS?
^the only option^
CIWS would be overkill
And not even sure it's gonna pick it up
:DDD CIWS
(might, but not sure)
and destroy everything near behind or around it
:D
To me it's just a small gadget that looks good on specs but isn't really a viable option in a real environment
for car whats idea is to get close undetected pop drones and fuck off
