Excellent news, by making each munition more effective, drones will need to make fewer trips and Ukraine will lose far fewer drones to stop Russian infantry attacks.
Not related, but it blew my mind to learn that air burst munitions were developed in ww2. I learned it long ago.
Small thing makes a huge improvement, no more near misses
It’s a proximity fuze.
The US and UK developed precise proximity fuzes during WW2. This is cool that it uses lidar, but it’s nothing new.
The Ukrainians could’ve made that QR code a rick roll link.
Cut your nails dude, geez. At least maybe a hands wash?
So this is essentially a variable time fuse for a drone. Interesting.
Now they can make their own HIMARS tungsten rain drones.
Elon probably sent them those sensors since he uses the same kind in Teslas.
Good news more orcs for every boom 💥
This russian really needs to clean his nails.
“Developed” – well, I worked with a certain off-the-shelf component in 2019 that could do this.
These are engineering break-throughs of cost-effectiveness and reliability, not actual scientific breakthroughs.
They’re gonna have a lot of fun with this. Depending upon the size of the drone, they’re dropping things up to the size of large mortar rounds, and anti-tank mines. Can you imagine wrapping those things in used chainsaw chains, and getting an airburst?
Womp womp
Good. Make it cheaper and easier for them to deploy. I am angry we arent giving them what they need. Make this war end! Give them the weapons and the volume of weapons they need!
so a laser proximity fuse ? or is it a time fuse that gets the proper time setting from the lidar ?
i do have to say the Ukrainians are really good at looking at advanced weapons and finding simpler and/or off the shelf solutions to make what they have work just as well.
it will make them world leaders in low-cost but still complex/capable systems when this war finally ends.
Super dope
Imagine that thumbnail jam probably has a nice ruSSain female’s name written on it, as per the bloated finger owner’s connections within the MoD. And she’s not political..
