Ukrainian military successfully modified a FPV into a machine-gun drone

  1. If they can manage to build a drone and control system that allows a user to accurately shoot single shots at a time, it will be more effective than the drones with the grenades/shells IMO.

    Even with recoil and reloading issues … its still better than a couple grenades or a single use kamikaze FPV’s… but with these you have 30-45+ shots in a single magazine and it only takes 1 or 2 hits to take a soldier out of action. It would be cheaper as the only item that would need to be regularly replaced is ammo… No more single use drones that need to get bought/built by the pallet.

    Drones can spend more time engaging the enemy instead of constantly taking 1 way trips or having to go back to base to reload after only a couple of dropped grenades.

    Imagine having a few of these just sitting up 100+m just slowly picking off stationary russians while they take cover or if needed the drone can even come down to ground level and take any necessary shots on hidden targets. Hell, or keep the grenade/kamikaze drones and use them in conjunction with these… Deadly…

  2. And remember how close they can get. They could easily fly 10-15m up to the poor sod who then gets blown to pieces.

  3. Can be pretty cost effective on occasion against groups in the open fields, but need to consider:

    – range will be cut in half compared to regular kamikaze variant.

    – needs direct line of sight and most of the targets are actively hiding

    – kamikaze drones with explosives are already quite cost effective, so additional advantage is marginal at best

  4. will be nice to have a stealth silent fpv and lower an xlr mic paired with a zoom h6 to collect real time sound intel.

  5. I’ve been waiting for this but I assumed they would have used a smaller caliber just for stability. Or a semiauto shotgun to knock out Russian drones in air-to-air combat.

  6. I’m so glad I got out of the military 5 years ago. This shit is too scary now.

  7. Wow!

    Looking at the skill of the Ukrainian pilots then this is fantastic, combat effectiveness yet to be seen, but used as suppressing fire platforms and terror weapons is spot on, imagine a drone heading towards you with a AK strapped to it firing… that mixed with jades being dropped on your position is something else! Meanwhile some of the Russians haven’t even seen a toilet…

  8. Im surprised we havent seen this much earlier, its easy done and should be the logical conclusion and its so much more efficient even when not really accurate, they can get close enough to still hit.

  9. what’s the accuracy like. Controlling the kickback must be tricky. Id imagine short bursts at best

  10. I don’t give two shits about how effective this is… THIS SHIT RULES SO GODDAMNED HARD

  11. I knew this was coming. Soon, we will see a group of 10 of these drones storming a russian trench.

  12. Honestly, get a super low recoil, high capacity PDW onto that and it would have its uses.

    A P90 comes to mind.
