2 meter wide + 180 kmh

2019-06-04 08:59:20 UTC  

Yeah right, gonna be totally effective

2019-06-04 08:59:29 UTC  

I can't see anyone not seeing it coming and trying to take it down

2019-06-04 08:59:47 UTC  

Except if you're a peasant armed with forks and bows

2019-06-04 09:34:07 UTC  

i mean even if you disable that fast projectiles engine it will still most likely hit your general location (and the fucker probly glides too)

2019-06-04 09:34:36 UTC  

and 2kgs of HMX leaves large enough crater for it to matter that much

2019-06-04 09:34:56 UTC  

you would need to hit something to make it go off the course

2019-06-04 09:36:03 UTC  

and considering this is urban warfare equipment more than anything else it seems

2019-06-04 09:36:07 UTC  

Actually not the engine

2019-06-04 09:36:16 UTC  

The engine is probably way smaller than its wings

2019-06-04 09:36:25 UTC  

And hitting the wings will make it veer off course very quickly

2019-06-04 09:36:42 UTC  

Sure, if it's 5 meters away you're gonna be in big trouble

2019-06-04 09:36:44 UTC  

sure if you do enough damage to wing whats profile is directly towards you

2019-06-04 09:37:21 UTC  

Well except if you hit it with very small caliber, those kind of drones aren't made to be very tough

2019-06-04 09:37:58 UTC  

i mean

2019-06-04 09:37:59 UTC  

thats sula 30

2019-06-04 09:38:25 UTC  

there aint much to hit unless you can fuck gyro

2019-06-04 09:38:35 UTC  

Oh I was thinking of a wider wingspan

2019-06-04 09:38:44 UTC  

Then it's even worse

2019-06-04 09:38:57 UTC  

its basicly just urban cruise missile

2019-06-04 09:39:02 UTC  

If you hit the main body you'll probably fuck up the insides

2019-06-04 09:39:03 UTC  

miniature tomahawk

2019-06-04 09:39:13 UTC  

if they are not armored on military gear...

2019-06-04 09:39:18 UTC  

Which will contain the telemetry and communication instrument

2019-06-04 09:39:26 UTC  

You can't really put armor on it

2019-06-04 09:39:41 UTC  

It's a small drone, not a fighter jet

2019-06-04 09:39:44 UTC  

thick enough glass if its visualy guided and done

2019-06-04 09:40:03 UTC  

Thick bullet proof glass isn't weightless

2019-06-04 09:40:06 UTC  

small camera hole does not need that much glass to be protected

2019-06-04 09:40:23 UTC  

Same for the body frame

2019-06-04 09:40:34 UTC  

i mean it aint hellfire what has eye size of a fist what gimbals

2019-06-04 09:40:56 UTC  

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

2019-06-04 09:41:54 UTC  

and if that wingspan is 2 meters then that pod in the midle is probly closer to 20-30 cm?

2019-06-04 09:42:07 UTC  

RC plane don't carry a 2kg payload, nor military grade com equipment

2019-06-04 09:42:32 UTC  

nor have military grade motors and engineering in them

2019-06-04 09:42:40 UTC  

rc planes *can* and *do* carry a 2kg payload

2019-06-04 09:42:48 UTC  

Which is shit if you've been anywhere near military grade equipment in your life

2019-06-04 09:42:56 UTC  

so indeed shooting small and fast fucker like that whats coming right at you from any angle would be nightmare

2019-06-04 09:43:15 UTC  

shoot it with CIWS?

2019-06-04 09:43:24 UTC  

^the only option^

2019-06-04 09:43:24 UTC  

CIWS would be overkill
