    Warfare is evolving. From a tech standpoint a jammer might have helped. From a personal perspective drones are fairly delicate. Maybe a net or just throwing something at it before it gets too close. Probably still end up dead.

    There were two drones involved. One attacking and one recording.

    I've been watching for a year and have yet to see effective countermeasures from either side. It's really quite remarkable that even improvised solutions haven't showed up.

    The eventual solution will probably involve jammers and something that produces emp like effects over a small area. That wouldn’t help an individual though. That one was close enough to shoot. Nets and staying in thicker cover would help too. Over there though, there is so much artillery damage in the front lines that there isn’t much over head cover left.

    One or two drones can be a solvable problem. What happens when you are dealing with a dozen or two drones or a larger swarm with AI that finds a solution for a successful attack?

    It is going to get tougher not easier to take those out. Shotgun sounds great,but at his range it would have still been a grenade going off, just not as close.
    They are apparently working with the likes of Bose to make drones silent. Right this moment you can still hear them. Silent drones will make things much harder for defenders.

    Some kind of string/filament weapon, jammers, plain old shoot them. But all of those count on detection. If you can not see the threat coming (radar,thermal detectors, ect) you will likely lose.

    Add to that the ongoing development of much much smaller drones, think less than a small bird, and it just gets worse. The small ones would not carry weapons, but will probably target, extremely accurately, remote fire on you. Best method is to not be seen, but you will probably never even know they see you. Cheery thought isn’t it?

    Just like the things we call “birds” right now, eh? What a coincidence!

    Still think they are real? :nailbite:

    I was sort of thinking the same thing. How in the world is a 12 gauge shotgun not a standard squad issued item?
    Sure there is. It just wasnt THAT member's loadout, and the 870 weilding guy was still in the tank.
    I am Suprised they hadn't figured out a way to block the signal to the operator yet
    But with commercial drones the same open frequencies the troops may rely on are probably the same ones the drones use. Not all fighting forces are using dedicated milspec licenced frequencies.

    They have. See DroneShield and others. It's just the equipment is expensive, bulky, and better suited for fixed installations than being man-portable. Simply flooding the radio waves of an area would work as well, but there's no way to do that and target only one side. Jammed freqs are jammed for everyone.

    Good luck.


    Cool. So we're what, a couple years at most from SkyNet going live and enslaving us all? Time to stock up on these I guess...
