A flying drone is more versatile that one thinks. If you've seen the video of a Ukrainian FPV drone going after two Russian soldiers on foot, the drone is zipping around the soldiers like a fly who are trying to get away from it making contact while firing their assault rifles at the drone. They completely miss hitting the drone. It was only after one of the soldiers goes empty on his weapon, he throws his assault rifle at the drone hitting it and it explodes.

I read that all the MBTs that Western countries gave to Ukraine are all destroyed from these drones. You don't need the velocity of a tank round to at least disable a tank which is basically a dead tank. Look at all those videos of Hamas soldiers sneaking up to Israeli tanks and planting charges. I wonder how effective it would be having a wheeled quadruped robot roll up and plant an explosive. they're going to be hard to spot and soldiers are not going to be outside to spot them afraid of FPV drones going after them.
That's why you need all round vision from cameras. In fact this could have been done much earlier but now these types of optical systems are becoming dirt cheap compared to before.

The new aps is not the gl6 at least from looks alone. The old gl6 launchers are limited in their launch angles to about 60 degrees elevation, which is sufficient for most scenarios but not for all. And yes, there is footage of gl6 against drones released I believe.
I watch the gl6 footage but that's was a drone with a rpg I'm talking about a fpv fiber optic drone strapped with a bomb coming straight from the top

A slow flying rpg is exactly the same as a drone to aps systems. Perfectly aligned top attacks are beyond the elevation angle of the gl6 but its difficult to fly a drone so precisely.

There are tons of clips of drones dropping grenades and mortar shells into hatches.
Exactly that's why I wonder if the APS can aim straight up an hit grenades cause I don't see radar at the top of the turret incase a drone is direct at the top of the tank and can it shoot the fpv drone

Chahuahui never mention this, and I haven't seen this in the livestream clips.

I suggest you specify the exact time of the full livestream replay, for those who already paid the membership to verify it.

Furthermore, if the trio's statements contradict obvious facts, the facts still prevail.
Check the full livestream at 22:40. There are also multiple people that pointed out before the gun looks larger than normal so it holds weight.
