I believe that's quite common but the problem is that you then get a bead back to their launch position which endangers the operator.
If nothing else, the enemy then knows roughly where the operator launches from and can be ready next time.
This is pretty much how things used to work. Early drone jammers only needs to interfere with the drone's signal and it would drop from the sky, but then drone manufacturers started adding failsafe "return to home" feature to their shit, so the newer gen of jammers are designed to "wrestle" the drone away from the operator, forcing it to land (or atleast holding it in place until it runs out of battery)

>when they spoof the mavik drones, they auto-land
Both of these things are likely true, it's very weathered.
It could have run into an area jammer, or some EW unit turned their vehicle based equipment on or in this direction.
Or it ran low on battery
Or the operator was tracked by EW and attacked, either being hit or fleeing or going dark.
Whatever happened, it's clearly landed and been sat there for months before being discovered.

Russian EW knocks down Ukrainian drone. Any ID on type?
>Any ID on type?
It looks like a Malloy TRV series to me, maybe the 80, it doesn't look big enough for the 150. The grill on the side and those large nozzle-like openings at the back match.
The heat sinks over the ESCs at the rotors also match so I'm sure that it's this series of drone.
They come in a few sizes but it looks about the 80 to me.
> Whatever happened, it's clearly landed and been sat there for months before being discovered.
Ah yes, because Ukraine only uses drones that are fresh off the assembly line.
Retard.
Dude, the Ukro have drone techs who maintain their drones between missions.
That drone is extremely weathered, parts are rusted and paint is stripped off. These are things a tech would tend to between its missions and the drone squads do this.
Also, this isn't a DIY drone that is expendable, this is a heavy lift drone.
If it's the TRY-80 as I suspect, it has a lift capacity of 80lbs. They're not used for dropping nades, they're more for resupplying units in the field.
Meanwhile, a serious question on EW - since I have zero idea how it works. Would, say, a javelin missile be susceptible to EW? e.g. can EW burn circuits or something - or are fire and forget systems with AI the future of attack drones? not talking about lasers here.
The jam the frequencies used by the transmitters, cutting the control link between the operator and the drone bu broadcasting noise, because they are essentially civilian drones using public, free to use radio bands, they are really easy to exploit, these drones can fly by themselves, there are a gazillion flight control units in the market, but they are using mostly to spot and nade vatniks so the operator need to see what's going on to look for targets and aim.
>Would, say, a javelin missile be susceptible to EW? e.g. can EW burn circuits or something
Nope, the javelin is fire and forget, there's no control to cut between the launcher and the missile, when it lock down on something he flies by itself, the only defence is concealment.
Hey,
EW can be several things. (If you wanna learn about it, listen to old crows podcast). But in this case it means sending out noise on the frequency that controls the drone.
You can fry electronics with an electromagnetic pulse. This isnt technically ew, but it is generally related. But you need to either have a tremendous amount of power or be very close. Also you can also protect electronics from emps.
Btw when you do these things people can triangulate your location. You can also do more subtle things like lie about location by mimicking radar returns and so on.
why do a coaxial if you can do a regular octacopter?
the bottom props will get dirty spun up air and work at half efficiency.
i know some 'flying car' manned copters use coaxials to have motor/ESC redundency but for a regular drone you're just giving away performance for nothing.
its better to put a slightly larger engine/prop than have double engines
>because these things are built by people who have no idea about physics >they are just lego kits
This is a commercially produced drone made by a MIC company you twat.
https://www.malloyaeronautics.com/t80.html
picrel is the 150 which is used by UK and US military, I think the 80 is only used in the US
you buy the parts from an RC shop, download the software from github and put it together like lego

It literally is that anon, they didn't copy it, the UK government bought them and sent them over to Ukraine.
Different angles
It’s all I could find.
maybe a PC-1 derivative
Doesn’t even look like it, moron
That drone has been down for months and was clearly landed by whoever flew it.

Drones generally don't fly with rusted motors

Fake and gay thread
Malloy T150
that's it
It's a Uf-AG latest model.
When is a drone big enough to ride it and fly away?
We have airplanes
>When is a drone big enough to ride it and fly away?
already exists

EW is like having two radio stations close to each other and all you hear is a mess

EW can be several things. (If you wanna learn about it, listen to old crows podcast). But in this case it means sending out noise on the frequency that controls the drone.

And it landed perfectly?
Why not?
You can get a drone from walmart that lands automatically on signal loss.
How is it so fucking dirty?
How did those retards still not program the drones to return when losing signal?
>And it landed perfectly?
probably a safety feature when losing signal
