A chance is better than none... automatic shotgun with buckshot could be nice to clear a trench too.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
Russian FPV drone attacks the top of a Ukrainian tank which looks like a Leopard to me.
Ka-52 returns with a damaged tail. Due to extreme toughness of this bird, I would question the validity of kill claims against it unless there is clear evidence of wreckage. I remember a Ka-52 still in action despite repeated MANPADS hits leaving dents in the body.
Mocking soundtrack inappropriate in my opinion, so I recommend to watch it quiet. Destroyed T-64BV, two destroyed M113, and an Oshkosh.
ATGM in night vision heads out to an unsuspecting Ukrainian troop company. I believe many of the Kornet-D used for anti-infantry have thermobaric warheads.
Bradley taken out by Kornet ATGM.
Tornado-S in action. Target coordinates entered into the warhead guidance system.
Ukrainian vehicle casualties in Pyatihyatki. Two T-72M, one BMP-1, one BRM-1K, two armored vehicles. A small slice of the huge alleged losses in this village that got heavily TOS'ed. This smells like a deliberate fire trap to me given the village is on a low level area.

Eh, the trade in opportunity cost is probably not worth it. Adding anything on the drone itself lowers the flight endurance and alters the flight characteristics. It might be fine to strap random things like an , but that's because one can get away a lot more on the ground. It is not fine when the "automatic" shotgun (Saiga-12 is not fully automatic) one tries to strap is the same weight as the drone they are trying to fly (at least order-of-magnitude-wise) and still trying to fly it for however long.
This isn't ArmA. You can't just
attachTo arbitrary things to a drone and still expect it to work as intended.Talking of using the Saiga against the drone... not using the Saiga on the drone.... duck hunting you know ?
Now that much of Ukranian equipment is gone and has been replaced with Western variants, it will be hard to label them as Russian losses. He had to quit to save himself the embarrassment.
M109 A6 Paladin SPG in action with the Ukrainian Army
A very very lucky Ka-52 Alligator !!!!!
Thanks for all the reactions about the shotgun issue; i was just hinting to the fact that any solution was better than no solution. Even if it was only ment to bolster the troops confidence.
as representative as Wagner special forces being able to pass for Ukrainians and shoot brigade commanders point blank with pistols in the middle of their base. that is to say, not at all. it might happen due to luck, but you can't count on luck.
