Russia Braces For Attack By 50,000 Ukrainian Kamikaze Drones, Seeks Shotguns
A recent post by a Russian political observer and blogger known as ‘Russian Engineer’ has amassed over 1.9 million views as the author calls for concern over an imminent attack from Ukrainian ‘kamikaze’ drones. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been repurposing First Person View (FPV) racing drones to carry explosive payloads such as anti-tank RPGs and grenades to attack Russian troops and equipment.
Russian concerns have been raised that, ‘Ukraine have bought up almost the entire market of FPV drone components in China, according to indirect estimates, by 50-100 thousand units.’ The cheap to utilize FPV drones are also tough to target by Russian C-UAS. Russian Engineer believes a more basic solution is needed. He proposes Russian troops on the front lines should use a shotgun to down these small repurposed racing drones.
