Thermal drones for the next shipment then.
>To avoid Fpv drones Russian supply trucks now drive mostly at night, mostly with all lights turned off
i believe this
thermal fpv is a bitch
with west dragging it's balls again, there won't be any russians left for the next shipment.
>next shipment
man, read the news
What? Did russia surrender already?
You mean the package that bundles Ukraine aid with border security that's coming? Or the package that bundles Ukraine aid with Israel aid.
See
Or do you perhaps mean the incoming handover of frozen russian forex reserves to Ukraine?
>man, read the news
Jimmy Dore is not news and listening to the man talk about military matters is just about as cringe as it gets ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsbgjT7Kcfs )
that comment section was the funniest thing I've read this week lmao
Man listen to the actual governments involved in this shit. They release statements almost every day literally telling everyone their intentions and plans. Journalists speculating based on the words of a single congressperson is not news.
> "Journalists" speculating based on the words of a single congressperson
Is the Freedumb Cockus farting in the babby pool again? Those treasonous shitstains need to be on a full blackout list and never given any oxygen, even ironically, for even 30 seconds.
>listen to the governments
Do they never lie or propagandize or something? If you want to actually get to the heart of a matter usually taking the government at their word is considered naive.

You can't put thermals on fpv. Would be just too heavy.
https://www.dslrpros.com/thermal-drones.html
That's not fpv. The shit's packed. It can barely hold a shell, while having enough power to cross 5 km.
Dude, send two drones lol
One will pinpoint target with thermal and other drop shell
captcha: AGA NW
are these drones networked and have ability to pass precise targeting data?
networked all over ur mom after she gave me precise targeting data
what does this mean is this russian kfc or something
It's says "patriots in comments" with very exited rooster, would be funny to make it into fast food franchise lol
>i don't know, maybe, could be, should be, i hope so.
yeah
If they figured how to tie mine to the fpv, I think these dudes will figure how to synch two drones together, but point is - you don't have to sacrifice thermal one lol
Also, something like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdOTV2RH9IY
I don't see why not?
you can and people did , theyre much more expensive tho but you can find thermals that work on drones in the 400-2000$ range
forgot pic
Shame the video doesn't tell which exact camera do they use, but I do really doubt that you can pack explosives and thermals on the same fpv, while having enough power. Fpv drones are really bareboned when it comes to constriction, any additional gram works against speed and distance, and thermals themselves do have a noticeable weight and even more noticeable power consumption.
>Shame the video doesn't tell which exact camera do they use, but I do really doubt that you can pack explosives and thermals on the same fpv,
you can it weights the same as an analog fpv system that they have on the drone its negligible compared to the payload/batteries on such a drone. i have such a system with a regular camera (OV5647 ) on the drone i got on my desk right now
>while having enough power.
power that it takes to run the camera is negligible compared to everything else on the drone. a quad with a grenade sized bomb is gonna take atleast 300W power to fly where's the flight controller ,radio,camera are all gonna take less than 5W
as for the exact camera its almost certainly one of the ones in my list
https://openhd.gitbook.io/open-hd/hardware/cameras
a bigger problem would be that most of these thermals come with very narrow FPV lenses where's most fpv drones fly with 150 degree+ cameras so its gonna be very hard to fly it.
you could find a wide FOV lens for a thermal i know those exist or you could put 2 cameras on the drone, one wide low-light-camera and one thermal and switch between them which is already supported.
i own one of these
https://www.arducam.com/openhd/ (SONY STARVIS IMX462 ) but i havent tried it yet. you could also fly with low-light FPV cameras those are the simplest solution as you just swap a camera with another one its 4 screws and a connector cable even fairly dumb soldiers can do it in the field.

And you know nothing at all about the topic you can't shut your fucking mouth on.
>ESL
I have never seen anyone using this word contribute anything meaningful to a conversation, ever, not a single time, so much that using the word is one of the strongest signals possible of you being a bad faith actor, in other words, trash
>ESL detected
so far my observation is 100% accurate
They still can use night vision without thermals.
With thermals the problem wouldn't be weight, but energy consumption
Well, battery=most of the weight.
Thanks for the info, anon, very interesting. I guess I was under a wrong impression that thermal cameras are very heavy and power hungry, but 2.12W 20g camera that's... Impressive.
theyre heavy if you want a high resolution one
the USB thermal cameras being used on fpv drones are cameras intended to be plugged into phones/laptops/tablets. mainly used to inspect industrial stuff for leaks which doesnt require good refresh rates or good resolution
fancy military thermals they put on actual reaper drones and such are much much better. but i even have a 40$ thermal from aliexpress that has 32*24 resolution, you cant see shit with it but it can tell you hot hot something is and i use it to see hotspots in electronics and such.
you could even put such dirt-cheap thermals on drones as a secondary camera just to show you remove hotspots of heat where's you'd use a cheap FPV low-light-camera to fly (which should be good to fly under moonlight/starlight)
>can't put thermals on fpv
Jesus fucking Christ on a popsicle stick. The utterly retarded stupid on this board just gets deeper every fucking hour.
I'll bet you're so fucking stupid that you can't even imagine how fucking stupid you are, and lack any and all sense & capacity to be ashamed of screaming your stupid out loud for everyone to laugh at. Now go take a massive shit on your mommy's kitchen floor and wait for her to tell you what a good boy you are and how proud she is of you.
If one stupid fucking post like that drives you nuts its unironically better for you to leave the board. These days there isn't a single thread that isn't full of people making painfully stupid, ignorant comments with as much confidence as a lobotomite can muster.
Even sniper teams have to crowd fund for thermals and you want to blow them up?
Would it be feasible to have infrared cameras on the FPV drones and have a second drone with an illuminator serve as a spotlight?
personally I don't think it would, the point of these FPV drone teams is to be fast and quiet, two guys with a drone hiding in a ditch and then bugging out once they hit the target
having a second drone that needs to be retrieved would significantly increase the risk of getting spotted as well as the time spent in the area after the strike
>Thermal drones for the next shipment then.
America blocks thermal imager sales to Ukrainian drone operators, they won't sell due to ITAR. Instead they buy chinese ones. Chinese companies are making millions due to the massive demand for thermal imaging products in Ukraine while US and EU companies miss out due to inability to sell sensors.
>fresh squeezed vatnik juice
That's coolant my guy
Why isn't it anywhere else under the engine bay?

yeah, license plate says she's from dagestan on important military business. i hope they at least scrape the mobik meat from her interior before they scrap. looks like at least one of the two KIAs is still crammed in there in this pic.
good posts
And why is it coming out from the floorboard
>Coolant coagulates
Fuck off back to plebbit my guy.
>plastic toy drones doing AD better than most old system in a non-safe airspace
The MIC hates those lil plastic fuckers
That's unironically part of the reason the burkes got their new bolt ons. Designed to fry those FPVs and similar before they can get close.
>meanwhile for the 2nd MIC in the world.
They already stole Indian T-90's last year.
>stole
The poos didn't throw a massive hissyfit about it.
Makes me think that the vatnigs and the poos collaborated to do a secret under-the-table deal on the tanks. The ziggers may have actually bought those shitboxes rather than steal them.
Weapons for cheap energy
>cheap energy
You mean cheap oil, which poojeetistan then launders and re-sells on the world market at a substantial mark-up to the going market rate.
Can we give enough shit to Ukraine so that they will just scorch-Earth their way through vatnaggerstan and wipe all the poojeets out of poojeetistan? I'm just about ready to ask china to please genocide the poos. Whatever it fucking takes to finally be rid of these miserable assholes.
the vats probably promised the poos like 3 white women, an investment they're surely appreciating now that omegle is shut down
Brazil, Egypt or Pakistan send a single bullet to Russia the West will wreck their economies (more than they already are).

Next you're going to tell me they're not doing replens inside the enemy's fires zone.
that's not transmission fluid...
What are you talking about? It is fluid that transmits HIV.
Do Russian drivers get NODs or are they trying to get by with blackout lights?
Doubt it, only elite assault infantry gets personal nod. I guess some people are lucky to get them from donos
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Their infantry don't even get optics for their rifles.
Do you really think they'd hand out NODs to POGs?
Russian MOD probably values a set of NODs 5 times as highly as the life of mobik POG.
I've seen one of their telegram ask for IR illuminators and cameras for their truck drivers, so I'm pretty sure that's how they do it
Active infrarred in a war zone?, when drones can operate in that band just removing a damn flter of the FPV digital camera?
Vatniks...
Perhaps we can all get a Kickstarter going or something and ship a hundred thousand IR illuminators to Donbabwe. Anonymously, of course. A gesture of good will. Maybe include a few shipping containers filled with bottles of cheap vodka.
I think nature will then just run its natural course.
>motor-t pogs getting nods
>stolen commercial trucks getting blackout lights
I have been looking forward to this.ukraine is going to become a vehicle collectors dream once the war is over.a little bit patience and anyone with enough money and time will be able to build his own t72 out of "spare" parts found on a field that's growing grain and bmp's
>Howdy, neighbor! How's the crop this fall?
>Blyat, nothing but BMP-3s. Wife's RGD-5 plot is doing marvelously though.
Slavshit surplusfags already bought all their NODs....
We do that too
Looks like that chase scene from 13 hours
you can put a basic thermal on an FPV drone for 400$ (Infiray T2 search), say its 500$ if you include a computer and sending radio adapter.
you can have a standard camera drone with a thermal camera, some DJI thing for spotting trucks and a drone with a cheap 400$ thermal camera which is enough to guide the drone to the truck

Didn't the Germans do the same in the final years of the war?
>source: AFU
go back.
The driving while obliterated on bathtub krokodil and rubbing alcohol is just habitual from the last 100 years of father-to-son tradition.
i remember soviet truck drivers in WW2 stopped turning their lights off while driving because they believed that the german fighter planes would spot them with or without headlights on
but the increase in safety while driving more than outweighted the potential to be hit
and in the end, most trucks in WW2 had special slits that ensured their headlights projected downwards
so it was a mootpoint
>Now
It's been standard for both sides since the start of the war. Many volunteers talk about this, and there were many accidents.
I could understand if they were travelling at crawl speed, Ho Chi Minh-trail style, but just look at those tire skid marks. Was probably going way too fucking fast like Russians always do.
Driving trucks along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. They'd swap the drivers out. So each driver would only be responsible for a few kays at a stretch. So that driver KNEW their section of the road. Like a boat pilot. And they could drive at night, with no lights, down a curvy and bumpy jungle dirt road. Because all they did was drive up and down that stretch of road.
interesting, although presumably Ukraine is now too heavily surveilled for that to work? at least for the last 10km, it wouldn't be too hard to watch for the switchover points just by following the trucks with drones, within a couple of legs you'd be able to predict what time the switchover would happen a km out and then order in some tungsten rain
The issue is not lack of skill I think, rather DUI and a rough, moonscaped road. But mostly DUI.
