Warfare is changing due to this conflict
“Ukrainian DJI Matrice 300 with a munition rack holding 9 modified VOG-17 grenades.
Footprint and undetectability has been and always will be a fundamental core of guerilla warfare. And do not be mistaken, that’s what this is. A lesser force using asymmetric techniques and technology to their advantage against a larger, less nimble force. A single shotgun and shell combo cannot fatally hit a goose size target at 100 yards… much less at night.”
Why are these photographed at what appears to be a commercial aviation airport and not a military airport?
The Chicoms at DJI will forward the telemetry info to their good friends the Russians. They, in turn, will splash a few artillery rounds on the drone operator.
For all your globalist warmongering needs, turn to George Soros. (also sponsored by Pfizer)
Perhaps I’m wrong, but as commercial units they can still be blinded easily by interference and the operator’s position revealed by the transmissions. You could plot a course that doesn’t require operator control, and just record the terrain of the route, but that requires getting it back home.
Entertaining video of a new version Matrice 30, very similar to the 2 year old Matrice 300.
Shows most all of the features that make it so effective on a battlefield.

Wow. I own a DJI Mavic II and it small, fits in the palm of my hand, can fly 800 meters (1/2 mile almost) or farther depending upon the geography and takes movie quality videos and photos crystal clear. I can just imagine how badass these things are.
America military has ones that make these DJI units look puny. Warfare is going to be hugely different. We’re going to need better civilian deterrents too.
