They develop tools of terror. Also the germans back in WWII were successful to invent some of the most amazing machinary and blueprints for the most crazy of ideas, but they didnt invest in other fields like other countries do. Like Iran does right now - it doesn't invest a mere fraction in welfare, or agricultural needs. This is to be expected eventally from a country/regime that knows only to sow hatred and bellicose into its people and weakened countries surrounding them.
arent you totally minimizing irans need for a powerful military, as it is the only thing keeping "democracy" at bay there? if iran had invested in welfare and agriculture, like before British Patroleums coup in the 40s or 50s i think, then they would be another iraq or afghanistan. @@eladon19153
@@nothing-nuzHence the term, 'Without bias'. I think what he meant was, without going into the details...if we actually look into the engineering part only... it's a great piece of engineering done with a very low price tag. It's upto the user whether they use it to help humanity and destroy it but the engineering part still holds true.
Not if the cost disparity means you run out of defense before they run out of offense. In essence these drones are targeting anti-air defense in addition to targets on the ground.
One more thing worth to mention. Big concert lighting companies supply their equipment to the military to highlight drones at night. It's a WW2 style - searchlights and machine guns. And it works
@@kennethng8346 Iron Dome has a couple of problems: - it exists in a single instance - it is highly classified - it does not always cope with the protection of little Israel, and with the huge Ukraine, everything is worse - its price is greater than the budget of Ukraine for the next 200 years
@@1224chrisng $150,000 per shot. Also it might not be very good for Ukraine. They have been used for ballistic missiles which fly much much higher altitudes and the algorithm is different to anti cruise missiles which this is. The radar might not work and it only work from one direction afaik.
I want to point out the creativity of Iranians, which everyone misses out on. they created cheap asf weapons that can bypass or overwhelm complex multi-million dollar patriots (in Saudi Arabia) and s-300s (in Ukraine) and hit their objectives with relative success. It is really interesting to see that Iranians have successfully moved in the opposite direction in terms of the quality and quantity of military products compared to their western counterparts.
Western weapons are all about charging the customer extortionate amounts of money for weapons that are on par to much cheaper versions from other places. Unfortunately, when all the anti aircraft missiles are used up, the weapons manufacturers are happy since it means they can supply new replacements for billions of $, which in turn makes them alot of money. The only problem is the lag between expending all your munitions and getting replacements. If Hezbollah used this technique against Israel, combined with cheap rockets, Israel would be out of munitions in a couple of days, and be completely defenseless. It will probably happen in the near future.
Ukraine is not saving a single missile in this war. The problem is radar signiture. Surprisingly this drone is the most stealthy man made object right now. There was some analysis done. Despite being a propeler aircraft, radars are having problems picking it up.
Collateral damage. Flack guns causes a ton of shrapnel to fling all over the sky and rain down onto the drone targets the military is supposed to be protecting.
Don't think so. They showed themselves ineffective against military targets and were used to attack civilian infrastructure with fixed coordinates. I am not sure that US army were interested in such type of weapon.
@@vitaliydiachenko5947 they are cheap and cant be targeted by older SAMs deployed by Ukraine. And hitting fixed civilian infrastructure can be devastating as you see now with Ukraine energy network almost completely disabled. hitting fixed targets can sometimes be more damaging than mobile military targets
@@nazeem8680 I mean that attacking civilian targers is not a US army priority, that's why such drones were not developed. So I don't think that iran managed to get ahead.
Flak shells were designed for high-altitude, air-borne targets, not low-flying drones. They work by blowing up near the target and spraying shrapnel in all directions. Do that at low altitudes over residential areas, and you will do much more damage the drone could.
@@howard6433 but gun based anti air System are still probably going to return. Just look at the new skyranger system. Throwing a few 35mm airburst (or even dumb) shells against drone is just cheaper then using surface to air missiles. (But you are still totally right, that's not what flak means)
@@howard6433 Not really, 20mm short range flak was widespread in WW2, radar fused shells are WW2 tech as well and though it wasn't viable back then, it is now. Thing is, warfare has changed and having flak everywhere isn't really viable because of the expense.
When I first saw the video of some Ukrainian police officers trying to shoot down some of these drones with rifles, that was my immediate thought. Modernize Flak guns to counter relatively slow, cheap drones
Rheinmetall (the German weapons manufacturer) makes a radar controlled flak gun that has variable timed munitions in order to shoot down swarm attacks!
Not just wars, but terrorist attacks as well. Russia is already using them against civilians, and Iran supplies terrorist groups. it's only a matter of time before a few land on a crowded marketplace or busy open street for the holidays.
I am no war expert nor any military background nor any deep knowledge of weaponry. But I have learned one thing. War is fought with 2 elements. Secular means and spirituality. A man needs to have rock solid resolve to go into battle against an enemy. Weapons help break a man's resolve. They become too dependent on them for victory. But there is another deeper meaning - much deeper. Those who feel the need for victory is the central goal of a war also help break a man's resolve. Because, if victories could be permanent then ancient empires will still be ruling us today. So, what is a victory? What is a loss? US won WW2 with use of WMDs or nuclear bombs, for example, but is in constant fear or pain or agony of China, Russia, Iran and others may pose a challenge to it's reign. Fearful can never enjoy victories nor they can be truly free. US victory is hollow. An already expired short lived victory. US won but at the cost of demonstrating human evil nature of creating total human annihilation type event! A true loss! You could check out Carl Sagan, a popular scientist, documentary on this subject on how science has created threats to humanity! True victory is understanding these basic truths of war and struggle of man. Those who master these will win even if they lose in a war! World will perceive that as a victory but heros who die defending an idea become heros by offering greatest sacrifice - their lives. How long will victors live? How long Earth will live? What is that victory or loss in scheme of things? This is Eternal truth! I would argue we should be convinced of these facts and then go into battle no matter how resourceful or not we are. There are such men the world knows as 'Taliban'. Because every man who seeks truth and true liberation is at heart, mind and soul a 'Taliban' - and not what news tell us to hear, see, and believe! In this are signs for those who reflect.
It's crazy just how accurate some of call of duty black ops 2's predictions for warfare in 2025 were. It was meant to be far out there, yet now we have kamikaze drones, cyberwarfare, etc.
This drone is a test version and Iran sold to Russia for using in ukraine and find its bugs in a real battlefield. Iran has this monsters hit down technology but they wont share it for own security.
US/NATO still bamboozled with Shahed 131 and 136... this is the first level, then there is the Shahed 191, Arash-2, Meraj-521, etc... Seems like Iran is ahead in the game of drones!
At the time of night this weapon is very effective. Increase its altitude around 2 to 2.5 km so that it cant be reach by bullets. And indeed difficult to intercept by radar.
@@nos4me with the range of 2.5km and with an old radar inside cities (which is the worst place possible for this type of air defense) It would be as effective as mines on top of road for tanks which is easy to deny and the situation of Ukrainian electricity says alot about their air defense
An audio detection system could be effective to locate and track drones. Similar systems have been used to find snipers. Raised wire nets can also be effective to protect assets.
The loud sound was intentionally added to Kamikazee to put fear in the civilians; therefore, if they will reduce the sound your suggestion will put it to nothing.
I was hoping for a mention of the Rheinmetall Oerlikon Skyguard system. It shoots 35mm airburst ammunition against drones. I'm sure it would be effective against these Iranian drones
@@milespaxevanos-evans8955 it's purposely built to fit existing 35mm air defense cannons, and other legacy hardware. It can be used to engage targets at distances above 1km. It is certainly enough to be able to cover larger areas.
I know war is not fun. But I like how Warfare has change the lst 20 years. How big fights back in WW2 are nowerdays impossible cause of drones. How there is just a fight between UAV vs UAV because they are so effective. It will be intresting to see how diffrent countries devolp things against drone attacks or if they change morder warfare so far that no one in 20 to 50 years sit in a fighter jet or a tank anymore.
It is far from "just" a fight between UAVs. There have still been tens of thousands of military and civilian casualties in this war so far, and the killing shows no signs of ceasing anytime soon. Never forget that at the end of the day it is always individual humans who are suffering in warfare, no matter how "clinical" it seems on the surface.
The (USA) America calls it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard? Confused... Please enlighten. Genuine question... Instances of the United States "liberated" or overthrowing, or attempting to overthrow, a foreign government since the Second World War.

Because its a double standard they can get away with because they control the media more or less and are the most powerful militarily and other nations don't want to piss them off.
This comment is trying to dissuade criticism about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, correct? If we are comparing the Ukrainian invasion, why did you bring up instances like Hong Kong? Did the US bomb Hong Kong in 2019? See how that's a dishonest comparison? Normally, a person would think soft-power and political pressure is much different than dropping bombs. Much of your list is conflated like this. >> There is one main difference for the rest of your examples- *the US did not annex any of those countries*. Even when the US invaded Iraq and "stole their oil", the US never stole oil. It went back to the global market and Iraq was able to profit by selling oil contracts to numerous countries- unwittingly for the US, much of the oil contracts were bought by China. There isn't much confidence the same will happen if Russia takes over Ukraine. I think the world expects another resource stripping like what the Soviets did to East Germany. To reiterate the main point, there is no double standard because the US never invaded then annexed a sovereign country. Putin has already claim annexation of seized Ukrainian territory.
Hahahaha...the Gepard. A colossal hunk of junk even back in the mid 80s when I served as a Kraftfahrer (driver). Luckily they resigned us to a Leo 2 later on.
@@Dr.W.Krueger It's like fashion. Sometimes things go back into fashion. An gepard is really effective against a threat that did not exist when it was being developed.
I feel like the Medusa noise pollution sensors developed by Bruitparif could easily be repurposed to detect and track UAVs and low-flying aircraft. The UFO hunting cameras being developed by Sky360 might also be an economical sensor to deploy. They're small, comparatively cheap, and weather resistant, so setting them up broadly could be feasible. And then after the war, Ukraine will have tools to monitor their airspace and enforce environmental regulations.
Yep, and during any attack Russia will have a bunch of Gerum2 doing figure 8 racetrack flights on the way to, around and over the target areas, it'll be an utter sh*tshow..
@@Veldtian1 You realize those sensors can triangulate multiple vehicles simultaneously, right? They're designed to sit on lampposts and automate issuing fines to noisy vehicles. No reason you can't flip them upside down and calibrate them for aircraft of interest.
Your context is off; it is not a "drone" -there is no pilot or AI on a base somewhere controlling it. You put in coordinates and it just goes there; and apparently there is a way to update those co-ords by radio but that is it. Switchblades loiters over the battlefield with sensors pointing down -the soldiers have receivers that they watch the feed with and if they see a target; fly down on to it. Bayraktars are small planes that are controlled by pilots and computers from a base.
@Absolute Mad Chad The Shahed-136 is completely autonomous. There is no pilot input after launch. These are not drones, but cheap cruise missiles. They do not loiter.
A "drone" if just a UAV. The shahed has no pilot inside it, therefore it is unmanned. It flies, therefore it is an aerial veichle. A UAV can be fully autonomous.
@Absolute Mad Chad Thanks bro. I've seen some pretty pathetic attitudes from the refugees, making TikTok videos complaining that the places they're given to live in aren't up to Ukrainian standards. Not to mention the whining about shaheds while similtaneously posting videos of them dropping grenades/mortar shells on people from drones.
@@daviddavidson2357 "The shahed has no pilot inside it, therefore it is unmanned. It flies, therefore it is an aerial veichle." Therefore; paper planes are drones? or if they need propulsion -how about RC toys? Either you are woefully ignorant or you are trying really hard to push some weird bias/agenda.
@@bubba842 That does make them more vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire, as they would be slower in the climb and the higher altitude allows more anti-air systems to be in the line of sight.
1. I've only seen one incident of Geran-2 (Shahed-136) interception until now, the very same in this and all other video clips: 0:46 2. I've never seen a swarm attack by Geran-2 (Shahed-136). 3. Glad to receive genuine data proving othervice. PS: January 2023, and still has not seen either a swarm attack by Geran-2 (Shahed-136) or another genuine example of an interception.
I think SPAAs (Self Propelled Anti-Aircraft) would be a big help. Something like the German Gepard or American LAV-AD could move with the asset it's protecting and even actively react to the current need. It's cheep to use like the C-RAM but significantly more mobile. And I think the LAV-AD actually uses the same gun as the C-RAM.
It's cheaper to buy than to switch off production from small munitions or just military supplies in general. Russia has always had sanctions, they were never in a spot to produce freely. The same is to be said with most nations other than China or the US
Production is not high, so when using a lot you need help. All NATO wars everybody was supplying everybody, so it was only a matter of time before they will need more manufacturing capabilities
Why it is so cheap: it uses bike engine, not aircraft-class engine. It has no communication or remote control capability. It just flies to the preset target without any ground control like missile. So simple so cheap and light. So it can carry heavier warhead with much more explosive power. Way cheaper and better than US switch blade drone which requires elaborate remote ground control.
If the drones are that loud, shouldn't it be pretty easy to trilaterate them with strategically positioned microphones placed all over Ukrainian cities? We have a system called Shotspotter that can detect the signature sounds of gunfire. Surely these noisy motors produce their own signature sound that can be isolated in real-time. Sounds like a much more advanced and reliable method than relying on crowdsourced, civilian infra.
what is certain is the success of this Iranian kamikaze drone has succeeded in making Ukraine live in the dark and their war equipment destroyed and many Ukrainian soldiers dead. talisman is bunos for russia🤣🤣🤣
I always had this idea of using a REALLY powerful spark gap radio to jam everything that uses a frequency on the EM spectrum. It’s why they are illegal to use; they are so old they scramble and interfere with everything that we use nowadays.
While small arm ammunition's is cheap, "bullets" that can shoot down drones are not cheap and still cost much more than the drone itself. C-RAM for example, fires 20mm HEIT-SD at 4500 round per minute, that's a whopping 75 rounds per second, one short burst and $100,000 is gone. Anti-aircraft guns use rounds equipped with a proximity fuse which is even more expensive. The second C-RAM fires, it's exposed, it will take out a few drones at first but quickly getting destroyed by more drones. Remember, drones only need to overcome 2km distance to take out an anti-air gun, even at a 50:1 kill ratio drone wins.
08:53 that dude created a VR headset that will cancel your existence irl if you die in a video game 😂 I watched a video about it a couple of hours ago on Hugo Talks channel so it’s quite the coincidence he’s popped up twice today for me
He didn't. It's false information, as while he designed a concept for a VR headset that kills you if you die ingame, it is only a concept, and was literally only created as an homage to SAO, which takes place in 2022.
They should consider an updated app, that listens for the distinct audio characteristics of the shahed-136. Setup a few in known locations, work out the timing difference in audio arrival, calculate location based off the timing differences, do that over time to get a tracking solution. Use to target their defenses. Setup a perimeter of groups of three of these spaced a couple of kilometers apart, assuming that they are effective enough to detect at similar distances that people can hear them. Automated Shahed tracking solution for the cost of a few hundred cheap consumer phones.
Expensive and time consuming to develop the algorithm, and far too cheap and easy to counter in return. Changing the materials or the geometry or even measurements and number of the propellers would change the sound characteristics drastically. And if you have multiple different patterns of propellers, all running on the same platform of drone, then this entire method is completely undone. I like your thinking though.
I wonder if you could just strap a $3k Jetcat engine to a $3k fibreglass model F18 and program Ardupilot to take it up to altitude and then enable a secondary program to fly toward these drones. You could probably detect them with a phased microphone array and use a low pass filter to listen for the 2 stroke piston engines and ignore the jet engines used by the other friendly drones.
The expensive part of making that kind of equipment is not making the thing fly but making sure that it can detect enemy drones and fire weapons automatically. Sensors can be very expensive. Also need to remember the thing that flys with a jet engine is going to be so loud making its own microphone impossible to listen for other crafts.
The USAF has a squad of ai driven, pilotless F-16s based in Florida. On TH-cam. Most videos are old, they have gotten quiet about program for some reason.
War is hell but i gotta respect the iranian that develop such cheap drones that can destroy multi million dollar systems, if only they could make the engine much quiter it would be devestating.
The crowdsourcing app is totally brilliant. I hope they get the autonomous drone interceptor drones. They should design their own drone intercepting drones that can be made easily at home with manual television guidance. A two-stage design powered by model rocket engines, where one motor launches a high-speed, airplane-like drone with a short-range nanny-cam TV transmitter and radio control. It just does a couple of turns looking for the target and glides back if nothing is seen. If it sees the target, the second rocket accelerates into the other drone, piloted by remote control. We had prototypes like this shooting down helicopters in the 1980's. Its short range, and you either have to know the drone is coming, or be there all the time waiting to launch when you hear the drone approach. The rocket makes it very fast.
Use the app; get targeted to play World of Tanks. Why do I get the feeling this app is a hoax? Easier to find everyone if everyone uses the same app all at the same time.
Crowdsourcing only work as long as cellular connection is alive. And a cellular tower sending out its radio waves is like a perfect homing beacon for a drone.
I think Palmer Luckey is the only one on the right track to use a swarm of drones to attack a swarm of drones. Cheap tactics requires cheap gadgets to fend off.
If the bomb drones are flaying low above 2 km and slow up to 200 km/h it can be shoot by AA baterie with guns from 20 to 40 mm equiped with thermal sighting with few shoots of expirience AA crews that costs max 1/25 value of cheapest Iranian drones wich has been done in many cases by UA AA defence.
It seems like this would be the perfect situation to employ CRAM systems, things like General Dynamics' Phalanx, Rheinmetall's Mantis or Signaal's Goalkeeper CIWS
China probably has billiosn of old computer chips alone, as chineese modernise the old cheap stuff can be sold off, same with any country, the whole world uses billions of cpus, gpus and other chips, you can buy 5 dollar cpus on ebay or ali express ahhaHha
Stupid question : could it be possible to create arty guns that fire 40 mm big shotgun cartridges ? I mean, it you can hit a little bird at a hunt with this, that might work for a drone at a bigger scale ?
It would be interesting to see what happens if you laser these drones. I'm sure that they're made of cheap plastic, so it might just be interesting to try out some new laser weapons on them. Plus, it would be a lot cheaper than shooting a missile or gun at them.
How about a CIWS like system that, instead of using radar, uses, well, microphones and a video camera, they seem to be the right way to zero in on a drone. Fire bird shot or some other shotgun shell and you have a cheap drone destroyer that won't rain bullets on the ground. Shell shot pellets are harmless by the time they hit the ground.
They found Farsi writings belonging to the QC person at the factory, inside a part of the engine. Proves it was Iranian built. The best way to fight a drone, is with a drone. We've been doing that for at least a decade. You must have seen the drones that shoot a web at the target drone, which tangles in their props and causes them to crash.
I'm Iranian and we know damn well that we made these but politics just work differently. As for tangling them, they would then drop on civilians. Not a good idea. That's the reason asymmetrical warfare works!
@@garshasb I provided the example of a legal proof. Not heresy. There are other methods. One that forced the American spy drone to land and be captured by Iranians. An example of such electronic warfare, is to direct fake GPS signals via a handheld EM rifle and overwhelm the GPG receiver onboard with new fake coordinates. The drone has to be in the line of sight of the EM antenna. That's why they pick top of the hills as best places for radar and radio activity. Stinger missile MANPAD is the best defense against this drone @$200K a pop. It's not a problem throwing money at won't solve.
@@piconano Well then it would be considered Attrition Warfare. Remember the Iranian drone arsenal is much more versatile than that. The Saheds can work as a swarm to overwhelm the enemy defense system and the likes of Arash 2 are so fast and destructive that will definitely cause escalation which would result in more money spent. Of course these can be used in sequence where the Shaheds would get rid of the enemy defense and then the Arash 2s would strike(or any Russian/Iranian missile in that case if needed). To add to that, Iran has surveillance type drones like Mohaajer 6 which could be used as an observer unit and they actually have a higher altitude than most American surveillance drones(there are videos of them flying above the mentioned drones unnoticed) and there are other stealth-type surveillance drones that captured footage of the US carriers in the Persian Gulf back in 2016 and the footage was released in 2019 and they basically go unnoticed. When used in combination, the Mohaajer 6 can act as the optics for the surrounding Shaheds or other drones to guide them. Basically our military/security doctrines are based on asymmetrical warfare and we also practice this with our marine forces as well. The current publicized methods are designed to overwhelm the defense system and cause attrition through escalation while resulting in a relatively high success rate. Let's hope peace to the world!
GNSS receivers on-board UAVs can be particularly vulnerable to external sources of interference, be they intentional or not. In the sky, the signals from jammers can propagate over far longer distances than they would be able to on land.Drone jammers are designed to disrupt the communication between the drone and its controller. They do this by transmitting interfering radio signals, at bands usually used by drones. This radio frequency (RF) interference is at a power level high enough to “drown out” the signals transmitted by the operator and drone. There are technologies for these swarms but no one seems to care enough.
buckshot : range 450 yards / 411 meters, price 1$ per cartridges, "weapon system" 200$ (on the cheap side), training : aim and pull the trigger..., can't be jammed with cyber or other external means like an EMP, lasers... safer to use than AK in populated area
The Iranian drones are just guided munitions like German V1s in WW2. Calling them "kamikaze" drones is like calling ballistic missiles kamikaze missiles.
@@imustbust998 What give you the idea that they are stand-off weapons, or even have that capability? They are slow, loud, easy to spot, and easy to shoot down. Why would anyone "loiter" these things near its target? Why would anyone design such a weapon to even "loiter"? To lower its chances of success?
Going to say it again because it needs to be said. Nets/chain-link fencing and soft / passive defences similar to WWI Barrage balloons would be quite effective.
Economical sense of using a weapon is determined mostly by the damage the attacker would do otherwise, rather than the relative cost compared to the attacking device. The unbalance should, however, trigger development of cheaper, more targeted weapons to mitigate the thread.
It still amazes me how politicians and diplomats can lie so brazenly. "We only sent them a few drones, and it was before the war anyhow." "We didn't start a war, our troops were attacked while maneuvering outside our borders."
Hearing the cost for these missiles and weapons systems makes me wonder the real reason behind not just this war, but any war. If you want to find the culprit behind any crime - "follow the money".
You could use lasers. This would require detection but shooting a laser is much less expensive than missiles and have a range much longer than bullets.
shooting it would be less expensive. But manufacturing it would've been expensive. Also lasers that can burn people or permanently blind people are warcrimes and illegal under the Geneva conventions, and multiple wartime laws. Considering that a laser that can burn skin isn't capable to burn through steel. Plus lasers that could burn a person of blind them permanently would be a breach on the Geneva conventions. Lasers that are powerful enough to pierce through steel can also blind the soldier who is firing or anyone looking directly into the laser beam since it would create a large beam of concentrated light that can blind anyone who looks at it like a mini sun. Soo.... Yeah you get the point.
@@geediosman6415 They commited war crimes more than a century ago. So yea the people who committed the genocide are dead. So what should we do bring them back from their graves and then put them on trial?
Well, they've developed the Iron Beam, using a laser. This will likely be effective for Israel, where it's rarely cloudy or foggy, and the attacker is launching from one tiny area (Gaza). These drones are programmable (can approach a target from any direction), and Russia could simply launch them when visibility's bad (which happens a lot in eastern Europe).
These operate essentially like V1 rockets during WW2. If we had WW2 type fighters (or unmanned equivallent) we could shoot them down with relative ease.
tell that to the economics .. in a long term fight you don't want to go bunkrupt .. the Russian learned the lesson and stopped using expensive cruise missiles for everything
@@verdebusterAP ok then let's go counter a 20k$ drone shower for one year by 150k to 1million rocket a piece, and let's see if you have anything left to develop a can of soda by then!
@@NoobGamingXXX Right we can't engage that 20K drone carrying 60-100lbs warhead which is literally enough to shred any vehicle as well inflict major damage just because it costs too much no one ever said You either use what you have or lose major assets or take damage its that simple Like I said n a long term fight, you would have counter UAS capabilities developed by then
I think the most cost-effective and safest way to combat loitering drones are explosive radio programmable ammo systems such as Bofors, Pasars... 40 mm rounds full of tungsten balls, they don't come down, won't hurt anyone on the ground and you use few bullets to bring down one drone. They are not so cheap systems, but they have other uses on the battleground, not only shooting down cheap stuff.
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing your insights. In my opinion, even C-RAM cost about $2,500.00 usd per bullet. At 7 bullets per second, assuming an average of 5 seconds to hit one target. A swamp of 20 drones, $70,000 x 20 = 1.4 millions usd. It’ll take less than 30 seconds to travel 1 mile. C-RAM will cost too much too.
Maybe they should be firing photons instead of bullets? Military lasers/masers should be able to easily surpass the range of ballistic projectiles. The only thing you have to control for is Raman scattering and we've been able to do this with adaptive optics for a while now. Combine this long-range weaponry with a decent early-detection network and you should have a relatively cheap defense system that rebalances that asymmetrical warfare equation.

That wont be effective as the photon gun would have to be locked onto a drone for quite some time to heat its warhead, moreover a simple solution for the photon gun would be a heat protective layering on the drones which simply defies the purpose of the photon gun
The “real” economic analysis of anti-drone defense is not whether the defensive weapon is more expensive than the drone, but rather whether the defensive weapon is more expensive than the damage the weapon is likely to cause. That’s why air defenses are typically located around “high value” targets.
The Ukrainians now use older WW2 era anti aircraft machine guns fitted with a 4000 dollar thermal camera along with searchlights. They’ve become quite successful using this technique. The older cruise missiles are either shot down by Ukrainian pilots flying MIG 29’s or with MANPADS. Several KA 52 helicopters above Hostomel airport were brought down with concentrated fire from AK 47’s despite its reputation as a ‘flying tank’. The day of the machine gun used as an anti air ain’t over yet.🇺🇦
It should be possible to track these loud drones much like ShotSpotter pinpoints gunshots in large US cities. Obviously it is more complicated with multiple moving targets, but even if you cannot triangulate perfectly, an array of sound detectors spread around a city should give some early warning about the location of the swarm.
The future of drone warfare, I think, will be masses of small drones. This was our concern when I attended a US Army conference/course to this matter. If you were able to produce large numbers of small cheap drones and outfit them with a small fragmentation device you'd be able to hit all manner of targets quite easily. Using one of these drones, one could easily fly into a command post and kill/injure a number of officers. Swarms could be used to set upon enemy positions to fly into foxholes and bunkers before an attack. Etc etc. While we have decent defenses against larger "predator" style drones, it's very difficult to defend against the style of drone I'm describing without blocking out entire radio wavelengths across entire fronts, thereby also knocking out your own comms.
Why not install a CIWS system like phalanx or goalkeeper around important facilities ? Those things can shred hundreds of these kamikaze drones in a matter of seconds
I feel like the solution is going to be as cheap and as simple as these weapons are. Something like jamming the GPS signal or spoofing the signals. Or hell, what about the heat signature this thing obviously puts off since it's been said it's using a moped scooter motor. The funny solution for this I initially thought was shooting a huge spider web in front of these drones. Anyway... I'm sure a bunch of eggheads are in a room now brainstorming and creating prototypes of countering this device. Looking forward to that video Coverage lol
As an Iranian not supporting this war and from pure technical point of view west is outsmarted and even Russians. Thinking outside the box is the way to go
Jamming GPS wouldn't do much, the drones will have inertial guidance, all you need is an accelerometer and gyro package, no external signals needed. So jamming GPS will change a precision strike on military targets into a less precise strike that could hit a civilian one. You can make a simple inertial navigation system with an arduino for about $100 Shahed drones will almost certainly use GPS intermittently and primarily use INS until they reach their target. Since they fly low they could even have a WiFi chip and antenna to get location data from local WiFi.
@@h.y1855 I have to agree. It will be fairly quickly countered though. I'm glad it was used in this context and they should be easily countered in future conflicts. I'm sorry for the Ukrainians but hopefully we can get these critters countered soon.
@@h.y1855 Actually I brought that up with my wife. Talking about how much this would have been very odd to handle if the US was directly forced to have to deal with this rather than another country that they are helping.

However I still feel it's gonna be simple. Oddly enough when I put in a comment, the YT algorithm always delivers me a video on the subject lol
Iran should be able to send weapons to whoever they want, BUT if they do, that violates UN Resolution 2231 which Iran signed in 2015. A number of heavy sanctions were lifted from Iran in return for what was agreed to in UN Resolution 2231. One of the many conditions of that agreement was for Iran not to supply certain categories of weapons to any country without prior agreement from the parties involved (including UK, Russia, German, etc.). Depending on the weapon category, some of those conditions expired in 2020, and some will expire in 2023. If it turns out that Iran supplied Russia with those drones (which they were not allowed to do until after 2023), then that violates the agreement, which means those heavy sanctions could come back ("snapback sanctions" being the formal term used). Of course Iran most certainly would not want more sanctions to come back. That is why Iran is denying the supply of those drones to Russia. So it's not that US/NATO can supply weapons to Ukraine, but just hypocritically, Iran shouldn't be allowed to do the same for Russia. Yes, that would be illogical. It's all because of that UN resolution that Iran signed and doesn't want to violate (but very well may have violated). I hope this helps clarify the situation.

its not about how much do you spend to shoot it down, its about how much you save by making sure it doesnt reach the target
Of course, but there is a question of economic feasibility over time.
I get what you mean, but sometimes it isn't worth saving the target in the long run, Wich is the unfortunate truth of some situations.
Not if the cost disparity means you run out of defense before they run out of offense. In essence these drones are targeting anti-air defense in addition to targets on the ground.

I want to point out the creativity of Iranians, which everyone misses out on. they created cheap asf weapons that can bypass or overwhelm complex multi-million dollar patriots (in Saudi Arabia) and s-300s (in Ukraine) and hit their objectives with relative success. It is really interesting to see that Iranians have successfully moved in the opposite direction in terms of the quality and quantity of military products compared to their western counterparts.
Western weapons are all about charging the customer extortionate amounts of money for weapons that are on par to much cheaper versions from other places.
Unfortunately, when all the anti aircraft missiles are used up, the weapons manufacturers are happy since it means they can supply new replacements for billions of $, which in turn makes them alot of money.
The only problem is the lag between expending all your munitions and getting replacements.
If Hezbollah used this technique against Israel, combined with cheap rockets, Israel would be out of munitions in a couple of days, and be completely defenseless.
It will probably happen in the near future.
Lmao would be fun to see countries finally move to ultra cheap warfare before we get bombed back to the stone age or something
Ukraine is not saving a single missile in this war. The problem is radar signiture. Surprisingly this drone is the most stealthy man made object right now. There was some analysis done. Despite being a propeler aircraft, radars are having problems picking it up.

Collateral damage. Flack guns causes a ton of shrapnel to fling all over the sky and rain down onto the drone targets the military is supposed to be protecting.
I thought flak was for higher altitude targets where the guns couldn't be accurate enough. Low flying drones might make it hard to acquire the target.

Flak shells were designed for high-altitude, air-borne targets, not low-flying drones. They work by blowing up near the target and spraying shrapnel in all directions. Do that at low altitudes over residential areas, and you will do much more damage the drone could.
@@howard6433 but gun based anti air System are still probably going to return. Just look at the new skyranger system. Throwing a few 35mm airburst (or even dumb) shells against drone is just cheaper then using surface to air missiles. (But you are still totally right, that's not what flak means)
@@howard6433 Not really, 20mm short range flak was widespread in WW2, radar fused shells are WW2 tech as well and though it wasn't viable back then, it is now. Thing is, warfare has changed and having flak everywhere isn't really viable because of the expense.
When I first saw the video of some Ukrainian police officers trying to shoot down some of these drones with rifles, that was my immediate thought. Modernize Flak guns to counter relatively slow, cheap drones

REALLY?
Not just wars, but terrorist attacks as well. Russia is already using them against civilians, and Iran supplies terrorist groups. it's only a matter of time before a few land on a crowded marketplace or busy open street for the holidays.
I am no war expert nor any military background nor any deep knowledge of weaponry. But I have learned one thing. War is fought with 2 elements. Secular means and spirituality. A man needs to have rock solid resolve to go into battle against an enemy. Weapons help break a man's resolve. They become too dependent on them for victory. But there is another deeper meaning - much deeper. Those who feel the need for victory is the central goal of a war also help break a man's resolve. Because, if victories could be permanent then ancient empires will still be ruling us today. So, what is a victory? What is a loss?
US won WW2 with use of WMDs or nuclear bombs, for example, but is in constant fear or pain or agony of China, Russia, Iran and others may pose a challenge to it's reign. Fearful can never enjoy victories nor they can be truly free. US victory is hollow. An already expired short lived victory. US won but at the cost of demonstrating human evil nature of creating total human annihilation type event! A true loss! You could check out Carl Sagan, a popular scientist, documentary on this subject on how science has created threats to humanity!
True victory is understanding these basic truths of war and struggle of man. Those who master these will win even if they lose in a war! World will perceive that as a victory but heros who die defending an idea become heros by offering greatest sacrifice - their lives. How long will victors live? How long Earth will live? What is that victory or loss in scheme of things? This is Eternal truth!
I would argue we should be convinced of these facts and then go into battle no matter how resourceful or not we are. There are such men the world knows as 'Taliban'. Because every man who seeks truth and true liberation is at heart, mind and soul a 'Taliban' - and not what news tell us to hear, see, and believe!
In this are signs for those who reflect.
It's crazy just how accurate some of call of duty black ops 2's predictions for warfare in 2025 were. It was meant to be far out there, yet now we have kamikaze drones, cyberwarfare, etc.

This comment is trying to dissuade criticism about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, correct?
If we are comparing the Ukrainian invasion, why did you bring up instances like Hong Kong? Did the US bomb Hong Kong in 2019? See how that's a dishonest comparison?
Normally, a person would think soft-power and political pressure is much different than dropping bombs. Much of your list is conflated like this.
>> There is one main difference for the rest of your examples- *the US did not annex any of those countries*.
Even when the US invaded Iraq and "stole their oil", the US never stole oil. It went back to the global market and Iraq was able to profit by selling oil contracts to numerous countries- unwittingly for the US, much of the oil contracts were bought by China.
There isn't much confidence the same will happen if Russia takes over Ukraine. I think the world expects another resource stripping like what the Soviets did to East Germany.
To reiterate the main point, there is no double standard because the US never invaded then annexed a sovereign country.

The one time Russia gets effective weapons that they can rely on, it is not made by them. That should tell you about the state of the Russian army.
It's cheaper to buy than to switch off production from small munitions or just military supplies in general. Russia has always had sanctions, they were never in a spot to produce freely. The same is to be said with most nations other than China or the US
Production is not high, so when using a lot you need help. All NATO wars everybody was supplying everybody, so it was only a matter of time before they will need more manufacturing capabilities

Say hello to S-500, TOS-1, izdeliye305, calibers, Iskanders and others
That's hilarious, I guarantee the drone is compatible with both GPS and GLONASS. But it's now russian since they changed the setting :)
Why it is so cheap: it uses bike engine, not aircraft-class engine. It has no communication or remote control capability. It just flies to the preset target without any ground control like missile. So simple so cheap and light. So it can carry heavier warhead with much more explosive power. Way cheaper and better than US switch blade drone which requires elaborate remote ground control.
If the drones are that loud, shouldn't it be pretty easy to trilaterate them with strategically positioned microphones placed all over Ukrainian cities? We have a system called Shotspotter that can detect the signature sounds of gunfire. Surely these noisy motors produce their own signature sound that can be isolated in real-time. Sounds like a much more advanced and reliable method than relying on crowdsourced, civilian infra.
This is a war do you know how much noise there is missles are also fired so which do you listen to
I'm sure it would be incredibly easy to run a country-wide audio detection system in a country that just lost 30% of its energy infrastructure.

@@boryang3372 the only success is that drones distract air defence.
But we can handle that.
I guess it’s now a good time to crack out those Bofors and Orelikons that were sat in their warehouses for over 70 years
“Hostile Hunter Killer Drone Inbound!”
I always had this idea of using a REALLY powerful spark gap radio to jam everything that uses a frequency on the EM spectrum. It’s why they are illegal to use; they are so old they scramble and interfere with everything that we use nowadays.
While small arm ammunition's is cheap, "bullets" that can shoot down drones are not cheap and still cost much more than the drone itself. C-RAM for example, fires 20mm HEIT-SD at 4500 round per minute, that's a whopping 75 rounds per second, one short burst and $100,000 is gone. Anti-aircraft guns use rounds equipped with a proximity fuse which is even more expensive.
The second C-RAM fires, it's exposed, it will take out a few drones at first but quickly getting destroyed by more drones. Remember, drones only need to overcome 2km distance to take out an anti-air gun, even at a 50:1 kill ratio drone wins.
Such a beautiful Iranian drone. India should buy some as soon as possible. 🇮🇳❤️🇮🇷
08:53 that dude created a VR headset that will cancel your existence irl if you die in a video game 😂 I watched a video about it a couple of hours ago on Hugo Talks channel so it’s quite the coincidence he’s popped up twice today for me
He didn't. It's false information, as while he designed a concept for a VR headset that kills you if you die ingame, it is only a concept, and was literally only created as an homage to SAO, which takes place in 2022.
They should consider an updated app, that listens for the distinct audio characteristics of the shahed-136. Setup a few in known locations, work out the timing difference in audio arrival, calculate location based off the timing differences, do that over time to get a tracking solution. Use to target their defenses.
Setup a perimeter of groups of three of these spaced a couple of kilometers apart, assuming that they are effective enough to detect at similar distances that people can hear them.
Automated Shahed tracking solution for the cost of a few hundred cheap consumer phones.
Easier said than done.
Expensive and time consuming to develop the algorithm, and far too cheap and easy to counter in return. Changing the materials or the geometry or even measurements and number of the propellers would change the sound characteristics drastically. And if you have multiple different patterns of propellers, all running on the same platform of drone, then this entire method is completely undone. I like your thinking though.
Iranians are learning to use silensers to make kamakazi drone muted.
I wonder if you could just strap a $3k Jetcat engine to a $3k fibreglass model F18 and program Ardupilot to take it up to altitude and then enable a secondary program to fly toward these drones. You could probably detect them with a phased microphone array and use a low pass filter to listen for the 2 stroke piston engines and ignore the jet engines used by the other friendly drones.
The expensive part of making that kind of equipment is not making the thing fly but making sure that it can detect enemy drones and fire weapons automatically. Sensors can be very expensive. Also need to remember the thing that flys with a jet engine is going to be so loud making its own microphone impossible to listen for other crafts.
The USAF has a squad of ai driven, pilotless F-16s based in Florida. On TH-cam. Most videos are old, they have gotten quiet about program for some reason.
It would work until someone realize they can strap $3k Jetcat engine to a new version of Shahed drone.
"Drones are loud,so we hear them and report them"
Drone operator: *Flies higher*
If they fly higher they can be detected by radar earlier.
They're not stealth. but the curvature of the earth can keep them undetected when flown low.
War is hell but i gotta respect the iranian that develop such cheap drones that can destroy multi million dollar systems, if only they could make the engine much quiter it would be devestating.
The crowdsourcing app is totally brilliant. I hope they get the autonomous drone interceptor drones. They should design their own drone intercepting drones that can be made easily at home with manual television guidance. A two-stage design powered by model rocket engines, where one motor launches a high-speed, airplane-like drone with a short-range nanny-cam TV transmitter and radio control. It just does a couple of turns looking for the target and glides back if nothing is seen. If it sees the target, the second rocket accelerates into the other drone, piloted by remote control. We had prototypes like this shooting down helicopters in the 1980's. Its short range, and you either have to know the drone is coming, or be there all the time waiting to launch when you hear the drone approach. The rocket makes it very fast.
Use the app; get targeted to play World of Tanks. Why do I get the feeling this app is a hoax? Easier to find everyone if everyone uses the same app all at the same time.
Hoax or another psyop on the pile?
The crowdsourcing app is brilliant if you have a reliable wireless coverage and electricity.
Crowdsourcing only work as long as cellular connection is alive. And a cellular tower sending out its radio waves is like a perfect homing beacon for a drone.
@@Wordbird69 most definetely a psy op
I think Palmer Luckey is the only one on the right track to use a swarm of drones to attack a swarm of drones. Cheap tactics requires cheap gadgets to fend off.
Signal jamners or disruption towers could be good counters.
Shaheds have no connection to their headquarters, so you can't disrupt them .
If the bomb drones are flaying low above 2 km and slow up to 200 km/h it can be shoot by AA baterie with guns from 20 to 40 mm equiped with thermal sighting with few shoots of expirience AA crews that costs max 1/25 value of cheapest Iranian drones wich has been done in many cases by UA AA defence.
This is what they need for these, Oerlikon Ahead® Air Burst Munition.
It seems like this would be the perfect situation to employ CRAM systems, things like General Dynamics' Phalanx, Rheinmetall's Mantis or Signaal's Goalkeeper CIWS

Stupid question : could it be possible to create arty guns that fire 40 mm big shotgun cartridges ? I mean, it you can hit a little bird at a hunt with this, that might work for a drone at a bigger scale ?
Very limited range as shotguns are smoothbores
Those police men didn’t shot down that kamakazi drone. They failed to shot down & that drone managed to hit target.
Hey guys, Just finished the newest ace combat.
On a side note, Those drone trucks seem....familiar.
It would be interesting to see what happens if you laser these drones. I'm sure that they're made of cheap plastic, so it might just be interesting to try out some new laser weapons on them. Plus, it would be a lot cheaper than shooting a missile or gun at them.
i feel like if the lasers are strong enough to take down the drones they are strong enough to permanently blind people which is illegal
@@fhudufin Sure, you dont want civilians to have this kind of equipment, but most military gear is capable of doing much more harm than blinding.
Managing to hit one of these carrier trucks with a switchblade drone might just blow the whole cargo, problem is finding the trucks.
Even if you find the truck, the location of truck is in deep Russia my friend (or far from site of switch blade reach).
What a joke...
How about a CIWS like system that, instead of using radar, uses, well, microphones and a video camera, they seem to be the right way to zero in on a drone. Fire bird shot or some other shotgun shell and you have a cheap drone destroyer that won't rain bullets on the ground. Shell shot pellets are harmless by the time they hit the ground.
The lesson from this is that centralization of anything makes you vunerable
As if Russian can develop these things while making Rd 180 rocket engines, what baffles me is that low tech is more difficult than high tech
They found Farsi writings belonging to the QC person at the factory, inside a part of the engine. Proves it was Iranian built.
The best way to fight a drone, is with a drone. We've been doing that for at least a decade.
You must have seen the drones that shoot a web at the target drone, which tangles in their props and causes them to crash.
I'm Iranian and we know damn well that we made these but politics just work differently. As for tangling them, they would then drop on civilians. Not a good idea. That's the reason asymmetrical warfare works!
@@garshasb I provided the example of a legal proof. Not heresy.
There are other methods. One that forced the American spy drone to land and be captured by Iranians.
An example of such electronic warfare, is to direct fake GPS signals via a handheld EM rifle and overwhelm the GPG receiver onboard with new fake coordinates.
The drone has to be in the line of sight of the EM antenna. That's why they pick top of the hills as best places for radar and radio activity.
Stinger missile MANPAD is the best defense against this drone @$200K a pop.
It's not a problem throwing money at won't solve.
@@piconano Well then it would be considered Attrition Warfare. Remember the Iranian drone arsenal is much more versatile than that. The Saheds can work as a swarm to overwhelm the enemy defense system and the likes of Arash 2 are so fast and destructive that will definitely cause escalation which would result in more money spent. Of course these can be used in sequence where the Shaheds would get rid of the enemy defense and then the Arash 2s would strike(or any Russian/Iranian missile in that case if needed). To add to that, Iran has surveillance type drones like Mohaajer 6 which could be used as an observer unit and they actually have a higher altitude than most American surveillance drones(there are videos of them flying above the mentioned drones unnoticed) and there are other stealth-type surveillance drones that captured footage of the US carriers in the Persian Gulf back in 2016 and the footage was released in 2019 and they basically go unnoticed. When used in combination, the Mohaajer 6 can act as the optics for the surrounding Shaheds or other drones to guide them. Basically our military/security doctrines are based on asymmetrical warfare and we also practice this with our marine forces as well. The current publicized methods are designed to overwhelm the defense system and cause attrition through escalation while resulting in a relatively high success rate. Let's hope peace to the world!
Then again this is why the german Oerlikon AA systems would be super useful
Can't believe you didn't mention a single SPAAG system Ukrainians are already using shooting down Shahead drones like ZSU-23-4 , Gepard or Tunguska
So why is Ukraine without power?
GNSS receivers on-board UAVs can be particularly vulnerable to external sources of interference, be they intentional or not. In the sky, the signals from jammers can propagate over far longer distances than they would be able to on land.Drone jammers are designed to disrupt the communication between the drone and its controller. They do this by transmitting interfering radio signals, at bands usually used by drones. This radio frequency (RF) interference is at a power level high enough to “drown out” the signals transmitted by the operator and drone.
There are technologies for these swarms but no one seems to care enough.
buckshot : range 450 yards / 411 meters, price 1$ per cartridges, "weapon system" 200$ (on the cheap side), training : aim and pull the trigger..., can't be jammed with cyber or other external means like an EMP, lasers... safer to use than AK in populated area
The Iranian drones are just guided munitions like German V1s in WW2. Calling them "kamikaze" drones is like calling ballistic missiles kamikaze missiles.
Ok and?
@@imustbust998 like missiles, they aren't drones in the sense that we are familiar with, with an operator controlling it and picking targets.
@@imustbust998 What give you the idea that they are stand-off weapons, or even have that capability? They are slow, loud, easy to spot, and easy to shoot down. Why would anyone "loiter" these things near its target? Why would anyone design such a weapon to even "loiter"? To lower its chances of success?
@@imustbust998 exactly the same as these Iranian "drones".
@@imustbust998 they are basically slow cruise missiles.
Going to say it again because it needs to be said. Nets/chain-link fencing and soft / passive defences similar to WWI Barrage balloons would be quite effective.
Economical sense of using a weapon is determined mostly by the damage the attacker would do otherwise, rather than the relative cost compared to the attacking device. The unbalance should, however, trigger development of cheaper, more targeted weapons to mitigate the thread.
That will not serve the industrial complex in US.
It still amazes me how politicians and diplomats can lie so brazenly.
"We only sent them a few drones, and it was before the war anyhow."
"We didn't start a war, our troops were attacked while maneuvering outside our borders."
Hearing the cost for these missiles and weapons systems makes me wonder the real reason behind not just this war, but any war. If you want to find the culprit behind any crime - "follow the money".
You could use lasers.
This would require detection but shooting a laser is much less expensive than missiles and have a range much longer than bullets.
shooting it would be less expensive. But manufacturing it would've been expensive. Also lasers that can burn people or permanently blind people are warcrimes and illegal under the Geneva conventions, and multiple wartime laws. Considering that a laser that can burn skin isn't capable to burn through steel. Plus lasers that could burn a person of blind them permanently would be a breach on the Geneva conventions. Lasers that are powerful enough to pierce through steel can also blind the soldier who is firing or anyone looking directly into the laser beam since it would create a large beam of concentrated light that can blind anyone who looks at it like a mini sun. Soo.... Yeah you get the point.

@@oneManDev what are you on about, we literally left like not even 2 years ago, and Yemen is still getting bombed by US weapons.
Israel's iron dome has the same problem. They're something like 100 million for a single set up.
Well, they've developed the Iron Beam, using a laser. This will likely be effective for Israel, where it's rarely cloudy or foggy, and the attacker is launching from one tiny area (Gaza). These drones are programmable (can approach a target from any direction), and Russia could simply launch them when visibility's bad (which happens a lot in eastern Europe).
These operate essentially like V1 rockets during WW2. If we had WW2 type fighters (or unmanned equivallent) we could shoot them down with relative ease.
supposedly a single javelin atgm missile (just the missile) costs $175k, while one of these drones is estimated to be around $20-25k (as mentioned).
I can't see them costing that much. Appears to be off the shelf tech.
I wonder if this will lead to flak being redeployed as a countermeasure

They’ve got drones. NATO sends them all the equipment they could possibly need.
I think the most cost-effective and safest way to combat loitering drones are explosive radio programmable ammo systems such as Bofors, Pasars... 40 mm rounds full of tungsten balls, they don't come down, won't hurt anyone on the ground and you use few bullets to bring down one drone. They are not so cheap systems, but they have other uses on the battleground, not only shooting down cheap stuff.
Ukraine also has a gun that disables drones electronically, allowing them to recover the drone
Very interesting video, thanks for sharing your insights. In my opinion, even C-RAM cost about $2,500.00 usd per bullet. At 7 bullets per second, assuming an average of 5 seconds to hit one target. A swamp of 20 drones, $70,000 x 20 = 1.4 millions usd. It’ll take less than 30 seconds to travel 1 mile. C-RAM will cost too much too.
Bro, it's $25 a round. Where the hell are you getting $2500 from?
Rheinmetall Skyranger is designed precisely for this , with its AHEAD ammo its deadly for drones
Potatoes 🥔 chip

The flying Dorito lol.
From what I've read, it's not ready yet but I'm pretty sure the long term counter to drone swarms will be laser defense systems.
Rheinmetall has effectively demonstrated a laser system. I doubt it's in production yet, but they have shot down a few drones for show.
electricity bill will go uppp
Imagine a wave of 200 cheap decoy drone above ukraine and after the AA systems had run out of ammo , the real wave comes :D
Seeing the truck launcher fully loaded really brings the scale to the flying lawnmower.
1 round from the C-Ram costs $30 and shoots an average of 1k of rounds per salvo.
Maybe they should be firing photons instead of bullets? Military lasers/masers should be able to easily surpass the range of ballistic projectiles. The only thing you have to control for is Raman scattering and we've been able to do this with adaptive optics for a while now. Combine this long-range weaponry with a decent early-detection network and you should have a relatively cheap defense system that rebalances that asymmetrical warfare equation.
دوستان که دارین برای صلاحی که توانستیم در تحریم ها بسازیم درست چهل وپنج ساله اگر خود امریکا را یک سال در تحریم نگه دارند بخدا نمی تواند شلوارش را بالا بکشد این پهبادها روسها درست نتوانستن استفاده کنند اگر دست خودمان بود یکیش هم نمی توانستن بزنند .ولی صلاهای زیادی داریمکه در برابر موشکهای وگلوله های ارزانتر است موقع امدن داد میزنند .هر کس به ایران چپ نگاه کند با خاک یکسان میکنیم .
That wont be effective as the photon gun would have to be locked onto a drone for quite some time to heat its warhead, moreover a simple solution for the photon gun would be a heat protective layering on the drones which simply defies the purpose of the photon gun
The “real” economic analysis of anti-drone defense is not whether the defensive weapon is more expensive than the drone, but rather whether the defensive weapon is more expensive than the damage the weapon is likely to cause. That’s why air defenses are typically located around “high value” targets.
The Ukrainians now use older WW2 era anti aircraft machine guns fitted with a 4000 dollar thermal camera along with searchlights. They’ve become quite successful using this technique. The older cruise missiles are either shot down by Ukrainian pilots flying MIG 29’s or with MANPADS.
Several KA 52 helicopters above Hostomel airport were brought down with concentrated fire from AK 47’s despite its reputation as a ‘flying tank’. The day of the machine gun used as an anti air ain’t over yet.🇺🇦
I think the solution to this problem is signal jammers
eat your cereal
I think that the German Mantis System could be highly effective against a swarm of these drones. Especially in the Boxer Skyranger configuration
The German Gepard anti air craft tank has been very effective and cheap against those drones actually.
@@waylon6241
Gepards were junk, even back in the 80s when I served.
It should be possible to track these loud drones much like ShotSpotter pinpoints gunshots in large US cities. Obviously it is more complicated with multiple moving targets, but even if you cannot triangulate perfectly, an array of sound detectors spread around a city should give some early warning about the location of the swarm.
Well, large RC model jet engines are not very expensive either.
The future of drone warfare, I think, will be masses of small drones. This was our concern when I attended a US Army conference/course to this matter. If you were able to produce large numbers of small cheap drones and outfit them with a small fragmentation device you'd be able to hit all manner of targets quite easily. Using one of these drones, one could easily fly into a command post and kill/injure a number of officers. Swarms could be used to set upon enemy positions to fly into foxholes and bunkers before an attack. Etc etc. While we have decent defenses against larger "predator" style drones, it's very difficult to defend against the style of drone I'm describing without blocking out entire radio wavelengths across entire fronts, thereby also knocking out your own comms.
Why not install a CIWS system like phalanx or goalkeeper around important facilities ? Those things can shred hundreds of these kamikaze drones in a matter of seconds
Looks like russia took a page out of japans book
Ukrainians using that app: hey I'm seeing a drone heading that way
Ukrainian air defense: ok cool, we won't shoot it down anyways
I feel like the solution is going to be as cheap and as simple as these weapons are. Something like jamming the GPS signal or spoofing the signals.
Or hell, what about the heat signature this thing obviously puts off since it's been said it's using a moped scooter motor.
The funny solution for this I initially thought was shooting a huge spider web in front of these drones.
Anyway... I'm sure a bunch of eggheads are in a room now brainstorming and creating prototypes of countering this device. Looking forward to that video Coverage lol
As an Iranian not supporting this war and from pure technical point of view west is outsmarted and even Russians. Thinking outside the box is the way to go
Jamming GPS wouldn't do much, the drones will have inertial guidance, all you need is an accelerometer and gyro package, no external signals needed.
So jamming GPS will change a precision strike on military targets into a less precise strike that could hit a civilian one.
You can make a simple inertial navigation system with an arduino for about $100
Shahed drones will almost certainly use GPS intermittently and primarily use INS until they reach their target.
Since they fly low they could even have a WiFi chip and antenna to get location data from local WiFi.
@@h.y1855 I have to agree. It will be fairly quickly countered though. I'm glad it was used in this context and they should be easily countered in future conflicts. I'm sorry for the Ukrainians but hopefully we can get these critters countered soon.
@@h.y1855 Actually I brought that up with my wife. Talking about how much this would have been very odd to handle if the US was directly forced to have to deal with this rather than another country that they are helping.
I'd definitely feel pride if my country made something like this.. Gotta admit, simple is always a good 'ol tactic (as explained, the javelin was a decent solution too considering costs). Goes well with the K.I.S.S. theory
@David Davidson Yeah I saw another video about how the GPS works out if you do take it's accuracy away. Not so sure that would be great either for civilians. However I still feel it's gonna be simple. Oddly enough when I put in a comment, the YT algorithm always delivers me a video on the subject lol
Yeah and if they do come up with an idea, the only place where they can get large quantities manufactured at a low cost is China.
US supply drones to Ukraine: Fair Game
Iran supply drones to Russia: WAIT A MINUTE THAT IS NOT FAIR!
Iran should be able to send weapons to whoever they want, BUT if they do, that violates UN Resolution 2231 which Iran signed in 2015.
A number of heavy sanctions were lifted from Iran in return for what was agreed to in UN Resolution 2231. One of the many conditions of that agreement was for Iran not to supply certain categories of weapons to any country without prior agreement from the parties involved (including UK, Russia, German, etc.). Depending on the weapon category, some of those conditions expired in 2020, and some will expire in 2023.
If it turns out that Iran supplied Russia with those drones (which they were not allowed to do until after 2023), then that violates the agreement, which means those heavy sanctions could come back ("snapback sanctions" being the formal term used). Of course Iran most certainly would not want more sanctions to come back. That is why Iran is denying the supply of those drones to Russia.
So it's not that US/NATO can supply weapons to Ukraine, but just hypocritically, Iran shouldn't be allowed to do the same for Russia. Yes, that would be illogical. It's all because of that UN resolution that Iran signed and doesn't want to violate (but very well may have violated). I hope this helps clarify the situation.
