@suchomimus9921 If you compare the trees, bushes, road, electricity poles and the vehicle from 4:02 and the next two clips is the same but attacked from different directions. Also the first telegraph pole looks the same as the last jammer clip, so maybe the jammer made it veer into the pole.
The enemy advanced in Pishchane, Yevhenivka, Pivnichne, near Lozuvatske, Makiivka, Novoselivka Persha, Chasovyi Yar, Kalynivka. Ukrainian Defense Forces are pushing back the enemy in Hlyboke. 😅
ROFL: "So, I guess that makes a telegraph pole more effective than an S300" Absolutely brilliant. The world would be a far duller place without British humour. Thanks, keep going.
@@ergosum5260 I suspect that it will be an old pole for electrical or phone wires, but with those Brits who still love to wear wigs and robes at times, you may always expect that they hanker even further back in time, and thus that our dinosaur skeleton lover went back to the oldest possible application of such a pole.
Keep the powder and the humor dry. As an American using the fiber optic Internet that comes off my poles, I like 'telegraph' better than the 'telephone' I used to use. It gives me a wild, wild West / Pony Express feeling.
@@KPKENNEDY I am just waiting for the day Sauron’s Mouth takes over for Peskov. (Google “Sauron’s Mouth” (you’ll love it) if you don’t know what I’m talking about. LOTR fans who’ve seen the Extended Edition will know what I’m talking about lol)
Note on the bonus clips, it appears that clip 1 and 5 are the same vehicle based on the grass layout on the right side of the road. Clip 2, 3, 4 is the same vehicle based on the trees to the right and left and the lake on the far right. Clip order for 2, 3, 4 should be 3, 4, 2. @4:31 (clip 4) you can even see the cage wearing a Ukrainian drone as a Ushanka! Thanks for watching everybody and take care.
for context; 3:51 -> And it seems to me that the piloting skills of droners is slipping a bit. Why throw 2k to the wind? All it really takes to disable a vehicle is to aim for the wheels.
In the extra footage we see a couple of those drones look like they're extremely heavy judging by how slow they're going and how unmanoeuvrable they are. This makes me think that they maybe have 'special' payloads. Particularly the one that gets caught on the cage, it looks like it's struggling to fly so perhaps it's packing something that's beefy enough to damage the vehicle despite the cage, it would be interesting to know
It sort of depends on the warhead on how well the cage works as a standoff armour. If its frag then it'll probably be slightly better than riding on top of a BMP but some of the charges they're using in that variety can be quite dangerous to anyone not behind actual armour. High explosive is going to get it holed pretty well but not exactly a guarantee that it'll be all good under the hood especially if its a tandem warhead with two charges. What it doesn't so is stop explosively formed penetrators like you see in some drones and top attack anti-tank missiles. They are sailing through the stand off, the armour, anyone inside and right out the other side. So how useful? Depends exactly what is getting sent their way and the mild steel on the 'Garden Shed' tanks isn't really an armour as such compared to the RHA of fighting vehicles which is a much harder, robust alloy. Even a heavy MG like a 50cal will go right through half an inch of mild steel and pop anyone behind it like a dropped melon
@@MrTreacletime Are you kidding? They have scores of golf-carts, and an entire column of Koreans. I suspect they'll pull their T-32's out of storage. . .
Hi. It is a wrong assumption that a drone cannot reach a vehicle at 5:22 due to the cope cage. An FPV drone was used to deliver thermite munitions to breach the vehicle. It is very common nowadays.
You can tell Putin is the mastermind that decided a fresh Kharkiv offensive would be a great idea. Because he won't let go of such a destructive (to Muscovite forces and interests) idea. And keeps doubling down. I wonder if this is one reason he dumped Shoygu, inept and corrupt as he was? Wouldn't agree to absurd self destructive plans? Nah, probably not. Reminds me of the German leader in WW II, who decided he was a military genius. Odd how Putin's actions and words are starting to map to Adolph's. Except for the massive corruption part, that's a special Muscovite feature, since what's the point of powerr without it making you rich?
I was pretty convinced all 5 videos could be the same Russia IFV being attacked, but I didn't do a proper deep 3D analysis of where which terrain feature is... Thanks ❤
I think those drone videos at the end are attacking the same vehicle in the same location. There are several spotting features that match up. I think the first clip (where the drone runs into a utility pole) is one vehicle, then the next three are all attacking the a different vehicle, but the same vehicle in all three clips. They're hitting it from different angles, but the road, utility poles, and terrain are the same in all three clips. Then the last clip is the same vehicle as the first clip - it may be the reason the drone in the first clip veered to the side was the jammer mentioned in the last video.
As you mentiooned, the surroundings and the looking of the vehicle itselve makes it clear that in fact all those clips show the same vehicle. Ukraine used 4 drones to take that one out,to make sure they got it.
Russians pretty much havent used any armored vehicles in the charkiv offensive, so them suddenly starting to use armoured column is really intresting, and this frontline might get some more attention from an russian resource perspective
Pietr: Ivan, we finally got some armoured vehicles and a Tank, what should we do with them? Ivan: Lets group them all together and charge them to the frontlines in broad daylight Pietr: Your a tactical genius Ivan
I did come across something about them mounting a huge offensive and taking troops and equipment from other areas. I don't think the offensive went well so it may be equipment has been sent back.
As far as i know russian jammers only works close range (very close range)... So is possible they were near trying to "save" those vehicles for later, don't know.
Drone fotage starting at 4:05, 4:35 and 5:39 seems to the same vehicle hit by three different drones... First (pole collision) and the last drone video are also on the same target, albeit from different dirrections. There is an effective EW system active somewhere nearby or on the vehicle itself.
During the extra video I do wonder if the fire we see was caused by the drone which hit the telegraph pole. It may have veered off before hitting to the ground causing the fire we see in the second video. If you look at the footage from the second drone there is a telegraph pole to the right near the fire.
An interesting irony: The village in the video where a few russky fighting vehicles got buried by Ukrainian drones is called Hlyboke (pronounced "glib-boh-keh"). This Ukrainian name means "Deep" (village). Indeed. :)
That last drone, the battery was exhausted as you can see it was at 3.25 volts, and as soon asit hits 3.2volts, the battery charge protection circuit,, built into most 18650 batteries would have shut down the power- causing the drone to literally drop out of the sky.. Ukraine should really remove this circuit as these are a one way trip vehicle, and the circuit is no longer needed- however it does tell the operator how much flying time they have left by the voltage reading.
I think this was on the way back from a mission where these drones were leftover, and these were targets of opportunity. The batteries were low and the drone operators wanted to hit something because the drones weren't coming back.
The "something smoking nearby" is nothing but the other drone which hit the pole and fell to the ground, creating a small fire there - the second drone then approached the same vehicle from a perpendicular direction...
Those jammers can be overcome by a preplanned course system in the drone software, giving full autonomy to the drone to act as a missile without a human pilot. The spotter watches to see if improvements can be made.
Those 3 videos of the drones having trouble with the cope cage and then finally hitting the disabled abandoned AFV are of the same AFV. Look at the tree lines, the small cluster of trees near the AFV and the pond nearby in each video.
6:56 this drone lost signal either due to range or signal interference, just prior to losing video feed one can see the error “AXLOSS” flashing on screen.
It seems those FPV drone videos showed less-than-stellar outcomes. Maybe they were a collection from new drone pilots. The AFU needs to provide live-fire training experience at some point to keep their drone units at full strength and grow new ones.
I'm wondering if these drones are some of the jam resistant types. One cheap method suggested was to home on magnetic or IF signals, as opposed to using the more complicated visual recognition software. That might explain why drones veered into the power pole and landed atop the cope cages. If there was a transformer on the pole it might be a stronger signal for this sort of guidance.
Those where all one and the same vehicle, with the crew long ago abondened the vehicle. If you compare the surrounding area and the look of the vehicle, it is clear that those are 4 drones attacking the same abondened vehicle to make sure that it is gone for good.
@@DementiaDon Sorry, I was not clear enough with my statement. I only talk about the different videos starting from 3:10 on, not the compilation at the begining of the video. Of cause, those pictures are from a different engagement and show several vehicles.
@@DementiaDon Compare the map on 1:29 and the details on the landscape from 3:10 on. From 3:10 on, there is no other vehicle visible than that one that was hit by several drones, as shown in the video. On the map you see open terrain and one or two big lakes. In the videos from 3:10 on you see one river and several smal forrests. Of cause I could be wrong, but I am very convinced that those 4 videos from 3:10 on show a complete different situation than that attack on several (!) vehicles on one road close to each other in the first compilation.
6:52: One senses that is farmland that is not longer being used. Some videos have shown tractors rolling across rows, farmers seemingly working as usual. Among the most surreal things I have seen in this war.
Rewatch your video Suchomimus, the last clip shows a drone attacking the same BMP from the earlier clip where there were fires on the ground in front of it... I estimate that this drone caused the fire seen in the previous video...
The last few clips all seem to be from the same stretch of road. Especially the clip with the drone getting caught atop the cope cage and the clip after that one seem to show the same target vehicle
Imagine volunteering in this conflict asuming you are either dying as a hero of the motherland like your grandfather or continue living as a legend but then you’re not even reaching the frontlines before getting blown into pieces and dying as a nobody in a foreign land with your relatives never seeing you again.
Thanks for showing both wins and failures. Pilots naturally want to show effective footage of their drones, but this can cause people to misinterpret the effectiveness of novel tactics for the war as a whole. Would welcome the same openness about other systems
They all looked to be happening in the same place. And they all look to be low value targets. So, maybe they the AFU drone corp was just using it as an opportunity to train their newbies.
You should read up on radio frequencies and Line-of-sight propagation. Most of these cut in videos feeds and lost of control are due to Lost Line of sight from the receiver and transmitters used in the equipment. It is true that radio waves can go though walls and trees but with more stuff in the LOS it will start blocking the singles. As the drones get farther away from the operator and lower to the ground it is harder to keep the TX and RX connected.
The clips in the end seams to be 2 different vehicles. The first where the drone drift to the side is 1. The rest is a other one. But the last one is also from the first clip. Maybe there was some jamming stuff on that truck?
Bicycles very effective for resupply in Vietnam in jungle. Less expensive than a helicopter, used very effectively but under cover and darkness and need ca lot of commited supply troops to wheel the bikes!
Not sure it's jamming at the end, more likely loss of signal due to the trees and low level flight - and the drones are set to continue their flight if they lose controller signal - so straight into the ground.
Looks like the first fpv going in the wires and last going in the ground were on the same vehicle. Also between these two attacks were some muktipke attacks on a single vehicle. I was thinking that experienced drone operators may have stopped those vehicles and "students" got the task to finish them off to optain operational experience. 🤔
I wonder if these Brucey Bonus videos are showing drone operator training. All the vehicles are already abandoned. They look like they’ve been hit a few times. The flying is a bit leisurely and tentative. New drone pilots have to train somewhere; why not out in the field against real enemy vehicles?
