Man war is so insanely fucked up,  what does blowing up a guy on a bike actually achieve ….

Always thought of either this or somehow following it back to base

Saying war has changed seems like an understatement when soldiers now seem more dependent on game controllers and scissors than their guns.

ResortMain780

What an age we live in! This is some sci fi shit.

youretheorgazoid

Drone operators don't want you to know this one simple trick!

noobwithguns

Any soldiers that survive this war will surely have some insane PTSD from the whir of those drones for life.

Daburtle

I wonder if there’s any capability to fail over to radio controls if fiber optics are lost. Probably not worth it I guess - drones are cheap enough that the occasional drone loss due to fiber getting severed doesn’t really matter.

ralkey

This looks like a horror movie. Even the sounds of the drones are like  foreboding music. Quick blind the monster when it's not looking our way

— Are you prepared soldier?

— YES SIR ✂️

He fucking ran with those scissors. War truly is hell.

The explosion was the best part of this video.

Shouldn’t run with scissors. It’s not safe.

Open_Youth7092

So it'll self-explode if the line is cut? Or it got triggered when it fell out of the sky?

jimmyliew

2024 we need shotguns to combat drones 
2025 nevermind  we need Sharp scissors

Billiecornel

Imagine yanking the controller out of the operators hands by pulling really hard instead lmao.

EhItsAPain

The soldier with the scissor works great until the drones starts carrying a rock, which is proven to defeat it in battle. The remedy currently being researched in the defence departments is how to create some sort of high-tech paper that could disable said rock.

But then we are back again to the soldier with the scissor that will be able to counter any actions by the paper. 

A new war - but still, the oldest battle of them all.

HipsterMcBeardface

Western militaries now scrambling to equip every squad with scissors

Why is there a fiber optic cable connected to it?

Theboogeryman

Haha.. always wondered why they don't do exactly this..like a kite

Drone, strategic bomber, scissors.

Drone beats bomber
Bomber beats scissors
Scissors beats drone.

My favourite childhood game.

FeralBlowfish

New Russian countermeasures; rock. Because rock blunts scissors.

An ecological disaster in the making. So much wildlife will die tangled up in these mile-long fiber optic cables.

Drone beats Airplane, Scissors beats Drone.

So equipment that cost multi millions is destroyed by something that costs thousands… to counter that you need scissors…. Rock paper scissors has evolved

ScottOld

So is this Russia doing this to Ukraine drones, or the opposite?

Drone beats tank, scissors beat drone, tank beats scissors.

That giant-wasp rotor whine must haunt the dreams of those soldiers\*..   
  
(\*on both sides, because as much as Ukraine seems to better at this kind of drone warfare, the Russian invaders are using them too).

Had no idea these were tethered with fiber optic. Wow. Gets around signal disruption I suppose.

If the cable connects drone to pilot doesn't that make it easy for enemies to follow the cable back to the pilot for an easy kill?

I see, so scissors beats drone in "rock, paper, scissors, drone"

Test-Tackles

When your Tech is weak a scissor wins and you miss any Target..

Scouper-YT

Its insane that these drone attacks have been going on for years, I assume they were wireless.  All of a sudden this week so much coverage over the fiber cables being used with them

CdnDude

I remember elon musk saying something about how deadly a force of AI operated drones could be. These ones are still operated by humans and are terrifying. Humanity’s inventiveness for killing one another is truly the stuff of horror

FluffyWarHampster

Probably a lot easier then trying to shot it down. It’s very silly though

That sound is going to haunt people. Anyone who’s seen Come and See, remember the hum of the plane at the beginning?

Out of curiosity when are these flags actually used? I’m assuming they’re not found in the battlefield or on the drones themselves.

In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Ukraine conducted a large-scale drone attack on Moscow, prompting Russia to shoot down 28 drones and close two major airports. Concurrently, Russia claimed to have intercepted 193 Ukrainian drones, with reports of one fatality and several injuries in the Bryansk region from a drone strike on a minibus. The attacks come amidst a continuous barrage of drone and missile strikes between the two nations, focusing on infrastructure and military targets.
