    They have more vehicles to spam so why would it? What, you thought losing shit constantly would deter them? They're running armor out into more mines even now, they don't learn anything.

        How much training do you really need to drive into a mine? Frick, i reckon i could train a mobik to performance standard expected of them in about 10 minutes.

            Anti-laser coatings can only do so much; a powerful laser (hundreds of KW) or a longer dwell time (good software and gimbals) can defeat it. What's scary is large swarms of autonomous stuff, which would be more expensive, but able to ignore jamming and overwhelm defenses. Nothing like that is in service yet, but the US and CCP have both tested demonstrators that achieved parts of that scenario.

          you don't even really need that, just tap the screen, and let the on board computer infer, it can assume it is a ground target, If it has its current altitude it should be pretty simple, this will require a bit of inference from the operator for moving targets but nothing that is impossible.

            Cant tap on screen if being jammed and radiating radio gets you arty in return. And AI does not work because adding a bunch of branches and some high contrast pixel cammo would frick up even top end neural networks that were trained to detect armor. A better bet would be just to get a thermal cam and ram the fricker in to anything that looks like a hot box with minimal computer vision in the UV/Vis to confirm that its in fact probably armor. And even that could be circumvented with even more dazzle cammo and some nilon blankets while hiding in the treeline because AI could not infer that armor might be hiding in the treeline from clues an untrained human could pick up on. Your best bet is to use them just how they are used now on undermanned armor that lacks jammer support and use that as a under powered micro javelin with no launch signature. if you want AI drones make a limited production run of winged loitering munitions that look for logistic trucks on roads behind the lines, because that would be easier to spot.

              Im not implying you do once you have been jammed (really?) , it all dependents on if you can identify the vehicle before have you been jammed, then you could set up a back system for if you have jammed, select the location. record the your current altitude and infer the vehicle location, there is problems with the camera distorting the image if its really far away. If you lose contact, you simply just go to our back up plan and perform some Pythagoras. This would work pretty when the target is less than 20m radius from ground level.

          Sensors like that usually require the object to be moving at a pretty good clip so the thing doesn't vaporize a fricker just walking up to it. A drone doesn't move fast enough. It will take active AI looking out for things that look like RPGs, or RPG drones. And then hope it doesn't think the panzerfaust squad it just dropped is an enemy drone.

        You don't need jamming. All you need is combined arms with an AA vehicle. This EXACT situation happened during WW2.
        >Sir! Our tanks are getting shitcanned by strafing runs, what do we do?
        >Put a flak cannon on wheels and call it a day.
        The only reason why these drones are a huge threat is because AA doctrine shifted from flak to missiles during the jet age. If you tried to use these drones against something as obsolete as pic related, they'd be picked off almost instantly.
        We just need a modern solution to an old problem: A highly accurate remote operated AA gun that you can mount on IFVs. Have that, and drones are not as big a deal.

        These two do not go together well. Also if your vehicles are blasting jamming signals it's an early warning for the other guy if you're trying to mount an assault or whatever.
        Jammers are being used quite a lot apparently but they're best for static defenses and then they're likely to attract artillery strikes.

        literally this
        >drones with mounted rpgs
        sounds like total bullshit

        Living under a rock, moron? They just strap a warhead to a drone and slam it into their target.

        As I understand it, the Ukies reverse-engineered the Switchblades. These are homegrown copies with an RPG warhead.

        This isn't really new stuff. People were doing this with fixed with drones way back in 2014. ISIS and other militants in the middle east also did similar stuff. The switchblade is a different beast but very similar in function really. It's got nice features like software that allows it to lock on to a target while loitering and then the operator can just press a "fire" button and the drone flies tracks and flies into it by itself instead of the operator needing to manually guide it.

        >radiating radio gets you arty in return
        How would you jam anything then?

        You jam and try to move your equipment around and keep it hidden often enough that it doesn't get instantly obliterated. It's a cat and mouse game. Jamming does help for defense of static positions because it *will* make it harder for a lower tech enemy to find out exactly what is going on, but it's not a perfect countermeasure.
        Also has the obvious drawback of limiting your capabilities as well.

              no, because you need an alternate triggering mechanism because the standard fuse needs a certain acceleration to arm and also will trigger self destruction after a certain time

                I was wondering about that. What are they using?
                It's gotta be complicated because the original fuse has two parts
                - piezo tip part that sends an electrical signal to the base part when crushed on impact
                - base part that, upon acceleration, ignites the booster, arms the fuze, ignites the self destruct delayed fuze and upon receiving current from the tip part, initiates the HEAT warhead

                it gets much simpler when you just skip those parts. all the safety features aren't needed if all arming happens remotely
                from what i've seen there's a seperate battery (a single 18650 cell), a loop of wire in front of the drone that causes contact with another wire in case of contact and i guess just a simple blasting cap that actually initiates the warhead

      the anachronistic analog video aesthetic is kino
      they use analog instead of digital for FPV because it's lower latency and when the signal is poor the image gets fuzzy but doesn't become completely unviewable like digital
