Done Dogfight!!?!?
This video shows a Ukrainian drone (said to be a Mavic) knocking a Russian drone (also a Mavic) out of the sky. If true, it could be the first Mavic v Mavic dogfight in combat operations…do you think that the proliferation of cheap drones has significantly changed asymmetric warfare?

WW1-style duel. Ukrainan Mavic-drone, which we have delivered to one of the airborne units in Donetsk region, destroyes russian opponent. Amazing!

Looks like it’s happening a lot these days, crazy… This hexacopter (with a grenade) was reportedly shot down with a MANPAD.
78 I have a feeling that happens more often then you think 🤔 ….

Maybe. I read an article today about how drones have ‘replaced’ jets in Ukraine. The barrier to entry on these is so low, I would expect to see A LOT more cheap commercial drones on the battlefield.
