What is the tactical advantage of carpet bombing your enemy with drones?

i'm wondering what kind of drone could carry so much stuff.
One of those eight prop octagon shaped ones could do this.
These are grenades or Molotov wienertails?
How moronic you have to be to ask this? Are you a middle-schooler or something?
If you freeze-frame it, they look sorta like RKG-3 antitank grenades.
They've upgraded, they use a British "SPOMB" catfish bait dispenser for their frags.

There are also 3D-printed versions available, and probably a few dozen knockoff Chinese companies that make something similar.

Unless you're fricking with me, that has to be one of the most embarrassing things yet.
>already fricked sideways by multiple professional Bong weapons
>finally end up getting killed by some Bong boomer's fishing gear
We just need them to find a way to weaponize British food and we can write down the entirety of the British Isles as "hostile to Vatnik life".
>Unless you're fricking with me, that has to be one of the most embarrassing things yet.
I'm actually not fricking with you. There are five sizes of that SPOMB product, and one of them fits the RGD-5 quite well.
You're in luck, I was cleaning up disk space of stuff I'd archived last night, and happened to watch one of the videos with that in it. Here's the title:
Ukraine Weapons Tracker - Finally a first loss of a Russian T-62M tank in the South. How A RGD-5 grenade in a special fish bait bomb was dropped right in a hatch from a Ukrainian drone.-1544797070883684353.mp4

If you freeze-frame it at just before the three second mark, you can see the "SPOMB" fish bait bomb enclosure and compare it to the ones at the British company's website. I don't know if it's a Chinese knockoff or one of the original British ones, but either way, there it is for your viewing pleasure.
Have you not tried blood pudding? British cuisine is already more or less lethal to people outside the broader Commonwealth
British food is already weaponized mate
I believe there are 3D printer farms churning drone grenade release armatures out for the war effort as well. There was a call for action in our local 3D printing group.
Really? I wouldn't mind running off a bunch of those, but the international shipping costs would probably be prohibitive. Fedex might also wonder why I'm shipping "grenade enclosures" to Ukraine.
noice
Forgot to mention, if those were RKG-3's, they're 1.07kg each (per wiki) so any large drone capable of carring around 23lbs would be fine.
AT grenades with the tail made from strips of canvas for stabilisation.
2 motnhs ago, the Russians were really, really proud of their Orlan-s Black person-rigged to act as dive-bombers (with an accuracy of +-30m).
This is the garage-sale carpet-bomber is the proper response.
>let's use our 100k$ drone to drop unguided bombs
To be fair, it's only 100k after embezzlement and corruption fees. The things are made of literal garbage and need a retrofit to send video back during sorties. (You) could probably make your own Orlan, with real time video feed for under two grand.
The next step is to make these laser guided or something.
Extremely cheap to do and if it lands near the enemy you would have injured several solders which would be a huge problem for Russia since it sufferers from a shortage of manpower
Probably pretty good tactical advantage
I love that it looks like a garbage dumped on ruskie front lines
GARBAGE DAY!
Unironically the present and future of warfare.
they're using fricking polish pickle jars to hold the bombs together
Reminds me of how some of our observer planes back in Vietnam did similar sometimes, just stacking a few hand grenades with the pins pulled in glass jars and dropping them on river boats that shot at them or looked too suspicious.
A time ago Russia released a video of one of their drones dropping 4 grenades in a row, they missed by 20 meters and it unironically felt awkward...
the best one so far was the SU-25 sortie over snake island where you clearly see the pilot missed 3 missiles and only makes contact with 1 and its barely 50km into the island.
scrappy ua boys
need correction
bigger spread = more chances of hitting the target or even multiple at the same time
>[slavic communication]
>Payload hits
>"nyoheheheh..."
You can tell this guy loves his job.
very rough translation:
>we got a present for you
>they'll get fricked up
>eh? heheheh
It’s more like:
>-I got a present for you.
>-What do I need it for? Oh, hehehe.
That's some cheap ass alternative to artillery. Even I could afford it.
Modern day equivalent to IL-2s equipped with PTABs
Kamikaze tactics by men without the balls to die with honor.
>proceeds to shell random villages in anger from a NPP
>meanwhile shoots 4 quadrillion artillery shells and cruise missiles per day at civilian infrastructure well behind enemy lies
The Zigger cries as he lashes out
the best part about kamikaze tactics with drones is that the pilot survives
What could be more honourable than living to bring doom upon the Emperors foes again?
These aren't even kamikaze drones, they're straightforward bomber replacements -- and precision bombers at that, therefore minimizing collateral damage. Proofs that
is moronic.
Then go ahead, abandon the artillery batteries you cower behind and charge bayonets affixed with one big URAAAAA. I'd love to see the carnage.
>tactical advantage
Carpet bombing is, by definition, strategic.
Yeah though in this case it’s not really carpet bombing in the traditional sense.
>you will live to see massed formations of B-52Us (for unmanned) carpet bombing enemy cities with UGBs in the third world war
I was wrong guys, this timeline is fricking awesome
not enough to win a war, not even enough to make a dent
just about enough to annoy your enemy
israel's been doing this for many years, with teargas grenades tho
ive also seen m203's mounted on these drones
>oy vey! what the frick did you just say about my grandfather? I'll have hou know he survived THREE nazi deathcamps...
>...you're fricking gassed kiddo!
