How a Russian FPV Drone Operator Reached 300+ Target Eliminations
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2024
- When comparing old wars to modern wars, the key difference is the technology utilized. A prime example is the use of FPV drones. According to the Russian publication Izvestia, the skill of FPV drone operators now exceeds that of the renowned snipers from the Great Patriotic War.
It has been reported that a Russian soldier used FPV drones to take out more than 300 Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters, whereas the famous WWII sniper, Hero of the USSR Vasily Zaitsev, took down over 240 fascist soldiers. This raises the question: what makes these drones so effective compared to the renowned sniper?

Could imagine if the Iraqis had this tech back in 2003 or the Palestinians in Gaza
They actually did use FPV drones starting at around 2010 or 2011. But they only used them to drop small bombs and weren't using them as kamikaze drones
or the Romans
Americans would have gone home 2005 😂😂
Iraqi invaded Kuwait. And palestineis aggressor to Israel. USA already have that teach in 2000s.
@@fridaynight3181 And when did this Palestinian "aggression" occur???
Game of Drones.
These drones are brutal. If they spot soldiers in the trance they're dead.
Not actually nearly so binary. If you saw the video of Russian troops advancing across the canal at Kalina, you would realise how random it can be.
That event was when Ukraine troops completely left trenches and a whole section of the front unmanned and Russian advanced scouts moved in unopposed.
Ukraine only had some drones there. And at one point, just as Russian IFV drops off halfdozen soldiers, the drone drops a bomb at them.
Literally right in the center of 6 soldiers that just disembarked, out in the open, on the road next to trenches.
The bomb explodes in the middle of the soldiers.
And all it does is make them jump. ALL of them quickly runs off to the trench while the IFV drives off. All of them were literally within less than 2m from the bomb, and yet, not even one of them limped or something. Not a single hint of even the slightest injuries.
Also, it's worth repeating just how effective drone countermeasures are.
It's currently estimated that Ukraine is neutralising around 25-35% of Russian drones.
While Russia is neutralising around 65-80% of Ukraine drones.
@@DIREWOLFx75 Not to mention last month Russia developed new EW gear that has made Ukrainian drone effectiveness drop significantly.
Suddenly having like 2 generations who've grown up playing video games is a strong asset not a liability.
every generation grows up on technologies that have military potential. ww2 it's hunting, today it's video gaming
Lyudmila Pavlichenko a USSR sniper had 309 confirmed kills of German soldiers plus possibly many more that weren’t confirmed. She developed her skills hunting deer with her father.
So in the USSR in 1930s, they had shooting clubs etc. This is how she got her start. I think you are thinking of Zaitsev, who was a pelt hunter in Siberia.
Simo Häyhä (the "white death") had 542 confirmed kills with an unconfirmed total number of 705 in winter war against the Red Army in 1939/40. He is the most succesful sniper of the world so far.
The next 9 in the row are from the Red Army. Mainly Yakuts. Sidorenko is the 2nd(500) and Ilyin is the 3rd(494).
Ivan Nikolayevich Kulbertinov is the 4th with 489 kills. He is only 53 kills behind the number one. He did not receive attention as he was often working around or near the highly celebrated female sniper, Lyudmila Pavlichenko, who had more than 300 sniper kills.
The 10th in the row is the ukrainian Stepan Vasilievich Petrenko with 422 kills who served in the Red Army of course.
Simo kills wasn't confirmed. Finland has no kill confirmation procedure. Also it didn't confirmed by casualties from russian side. So it totally fake one. Zaitcev train hundreds of snimers, some of them made more kills that he, simo train noone, because he sit with average rifle, shoot in snow and say he kill someone until he really see soviet average soldier who headshot him with average rifle. @@gyulanyars6636
Cheap, easy to build, reliable = Drones.
If it's easy to build try it please😂
@@abdaleali609 I have built drones (technically quad copters) with off the shelf components.
Easy and cheap because China is helping... Otherwise $5000 per drone.

Drones are the new kings of the battlefield.
Nah, that remains artillery.
Drones have made the battlefield a drastically more dangerous place, but they have many limits and countermeasures against drones are being rapidly developed.
More and more russian vehicles are being issued drone jammers. Russian troops are getting issued with continually improved DEW anti-drone "rifles" and variations on automatic shotguns, while Russian EW troops are getting ever better at setting up jamming zones and hijacking drones.
There's literally a dozen+ new things tested every week, maybe even every day, by Russian troops. Some works well, like turtle tanks, others not so well or even at all.
But overall, the direction is very clear, and while far less energetic or capable, the Ukraine is also constantly improving their antidrone abilities.
In 5 years from now? When every Russian vehicle will have multiple drone jammers, and every company or battalion of troops will likely have their own drone-defense unit, and the EW troops have figured out what works and what does not, and have been given all the new equipment needed, at that point, Russia will probably be able to neutralise over 90%, maybe even over 95% of drones before they can hit anything.
And at that point, drones become very very expensive compared to their effect.
The west will never achieve the same level, due to lack of dedicated EW troops, but in 10 years from now, we will probably neutralise at least 2/3 of any attacking drones.
At what point does drones become too expensive for their usefulness?
Hence, why drones will everafter always be valuable, but PROBABLY more so for recon, than attack, because attacking means getting closer, and getting closer means both risking detection and destruction, but also greatly increases the risk of running into jamming.
@@DIREWOLFx75 Jammers are effective only against manned drones. Soon there will be fully autonomous ones. They will fly in formations and clean assigned areas without need for communication with operator.
@@kerzhemanov "Soon there will be fully autonomous ones. They will fly in formations and clean assigned areas without need for communication with operator."
The Russian Lancet 53 are already doing this...
"what makes drones so effective?"
Mobility. A sniper is limited to what they can see, and moving is dangerous.
However, even more, is the fact of expendability. There's 2 parts to that.
1st of all is the fact that a single drone operator can use several drones per day. And each drone can kill several soldiers.
2nd is that drones can go places where humans cannot. A sniper can't just infiltrate several km past the frontline and find targets.
A drone CAN. And even if it's discovered and neutralised, so what? The drone OPERATOR just starts up another drone, maybe even to attack the people that neutralised the previous drone. Or if they're too good at taking down drones there, he just sends the next drone somewhere completely different.
Drones are NOT foolproof, drones are NOT automatically the best weapons ever, drones do NOT automatically make other weapons obsolete.
What they do, is make the battlefield drastically more dangerous.
It's currently estimated that Ukraine is neutralising around 25-35% of Russian drones.
While Russia is neutralising around 65-80% of Ukraine drones.
And it's only a matter of time before the Ukraine numbers increases, even if they wont ever reach the same counter drone ability as Russia, simply because Russia has dedicated EW troops that take down lots of drones every day, and no other nation has anything like that.
But still, by next year, it's likely that more than half drones total will be neutralised before attacking.
And Russia is making drone jammers in massive numbers already, and while they're still primitive, hundreds more are put in service every day.
How long before Russia is neutralising 90% of Ukraine drones?
It's impossible to predict, but drone countermeasures are advancing RAPIDLY.
If either side went back to the lack of drone CMs of 2022 today, casualties would increase VERY notably overnight.
Automatic Shotguns
@@NDR-hn3ue Yes?
That's one of the things being tested for use against drones.
@@DIREWOLFx75 Russia does make the Saiga 12 It's really surprising how slow and effete they are at times
I think the drone operator's name is Udai. He has a diary named Diary of Udai.
Military summary channel wasgivin reports about him bu tit's been a few months since the last update. Hope he is fine :)
@@zephyrfpv9871 From what i gather, it was basically a simple PR stunt, having him showing what he achieved during a single month.
He was said to have rotated out for a month after that, but it was never meant to be more than a monthlong series of vids so...
@@DIREWOLFx75 yea, I heard something along the line, because they wanted to avoid him being tracked. Cool stuff thought :)
I am a civilian drone builder/technician and pilot, and yes, highly accurate missions that weren't possible before, can be done now as shown in this video.
See, all that time flying air hogs as a kid prepared him for this moment.
I think the best counter against FPV drones is to use another drone, i.e. a hunter-killer drone. A drone designed to hunt down and destroy other drones. Equip it with an automatic shotgun like the AA-12 (maybe even 2), then have it patrol the skies near troop operations. Any drones can be engaged with the HK drone and destroy it with the shotguns.
For infantry I think carrying the 1216 shotgun would be best since it's semi-automatic, and has 4 tube magazines which can hold different types of ammo and has a high capacity. Birdshot is best for targets from point blank to about 45 meters away. A new type of shell that essentially combines a shotgun grenade (yes that's a thing) with a proximity fuse would work against drones from greater ranges. There's also anti-drone shells that fire nets which entangle the drone's rotors.
imagine firing a shotgun shell from 200gr flying drone, i dont think its doable
Kid put the Xbox controller down and really THINK about what your wrote… How would a drone distinguish friendly or foe… And if it has a shotgun, why waste it on a drone where you could use it to find infantry and eliminate them
@@ricardozavala1284 Spare us the ad hominems, they only serve to discredit you. IFF has been in use since... forever. So that's how the drone would distinguish between friend or foe. I wasn't envisioning it being an AI drone per se, although that's possible. But if it's human controlled, they would distinguish between friend and foe the same way that they have been doing so this entire time.
You can use it to hunt infantry, but that would require you to know where the infantry is in the first place. But since it uses a shotgun, birdshot isn't ideal for armored soldiers (assuming they have body armor at all). It would primarily be for hunting other drones, any other targets of opportunity would be valid.
@@madabe659 I don't know what 200gr means. But yes, we know drones can shoot shotguns because there are videos of them doing it.
@@EnigmaHood It means grams. Really? i didnt know people tried that, it seems strange. Can you send some videos? Id like to see drone kicked back from recoil :))
WHAT !? .. 😮 has capacity to product 300,000 FPV Drones monthly ? 😮
Whoaaa!!
wow... its DJI drones for civilians..... imagine what Drones with military standards in China secret Arsenal have ...
Swarms with pre determined coordinates could devastate a base or city.
Drones are the game changer weapons not stealth.
They are very deadly weapon in the battlefield today.
The ingenuity combined with the lethal results, corroborates the idea that wars acelerate
inventions in all ways. So sad!
When selected these soldiers, the preference for electronic game players is favoured?
FPV drones are menace
Good video
Drone operators are unlikely to be tortured or brutalized when caught, like snipers are! 🤔
Snipers have to stay in the same position, sometimes for days and have to shit in there own trousers (shorts) so as not to move. Drone operators sit drinking a cup of coffee and eat a snack. I know which one I'd rather be and it aint the one sh---ing their own pants.
There are a ton of anti drone operator techniques in play, they are killed often.
I don't think they get caught very often, considering they're usually a few miles away from their target
@@03stmlax they use drones to track back to where they are being launched or find them by triangulating radio waves and then bombed are bombarded with drones or artillery.
Why is a drone operator being compared to a sniper?
DJI at its best lol control looks like my mavic 3
Everyone calls tech is good and what not, why there is a war? Killings😢
I bet he grew up playing video games.
Probably. The skills developed playing video games work in controlling FPV drones.
Next should be mobile anti tank mine capable of hunting tanks & other vehicles instead conventional static mines. Imagine a swarm of mines charging enemy vehicles and positions. 😁😁😁
THE age of playstation warriors arrived ...
So long as there are FPV drones on the battlefield, tanks are now obsolete. I would not want to be on a tank crew.
They're not obsolete, they just need an active protection system that can reliably destroy drones in a cost effective manner. A 20-30mm autocannon firing a fragmentation shell with a proximity fuse can work if it can use a radar that can quickly detect and engage the drones automatically.
@@EnigmaHood When hundred's of drones are deployed they will get the job done.
@@mullagh670 It's not that simple. Brute force will overcome any defense, but there's an opportunity cost. If it takes hundreds of drones to take out 1 tank, then all the other tanks which are not targeted, will breach the enemy's defenses.
People thought the ATGM would render the tank obsolete too, but it didn't. Drones can disable a tank, but the tank can be repaired too. Even the tanks that can't be repaired, can still be cannibalized for parts for ones that can. Tanks aren't going to become obsolete any time soon.
Tanks aren't obsolete, tank evolution development simply slow to catch up.
Remember, tanks are glorified armored cars, you could do almost anything with a car.
@@whatisdis What you said is definitely not wrong, but I prefer to think of tanks as the modern day version of cavalry. Sadly it looks like the modern calvary has been, for now, rendered obsolete by the rise of drones, just like horse units went obsolete by the development of machine guns. But calvary manage to return as the tank. So who knows? Or as we see from turtle tanks, being repurposed into siege machines. And we thought those were obsolete too.
Terrifying
Can foreigners apply for training?
Yes.
What are you talking about ffs. The russians started with kamakazi drones then fpv drones. The nazi Ukrainians come late in the game with drones. If you remember correctly russia started dropping grenades from drones then they started the kamakazi fpv drones then the nazis followed. Russia has been at the forefront of the drone warfare with the nazis not being interested cos they never had many from the west. They nkw have 16 nato countries building drones for them.
That's pure bullshit !
After 2 years of war you still believe in the nazis ? You are so naive !
8.01 all of his videos ...
I wonder If it's about monetization .
I would be a good FPV operator...
First it says 1 drone operator has 300+ target elimination but then at 5:01 it says 4000 attacks with 12% complete destruction, which equals to about the same number claimed by 1 operator. Does Russia only have 1 drone operator?
It's the famous soviet school of reporting, Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf was reporting the same things
The war fighting game has certainly changed, I’m curious how this use of technology will be utilized by terrorists on homeland, I’m sure it’s being planned, the scary fact that assassins can be a distance away from a targets. Only a matter of time until we see such attacks on civilians in populated areas. I hope I’m wrong, but a defense against these threats needs to be a priority. How DJI allows use of their products for this type of purpose, realizing also drones can be built from parts readily available from online sources. Makes me a little more nervous when I see an innocent drone flying overhead in my neighborhood.
The Armenian / Azerbaijan war from a few years saw the use of israeli drones by Azerbaijan to have a decisive advantage. Russia paid attention and the rest of the region followed.
Only a matter of time before they have jamners like fighter jets have.
its a game changer but the drones cannot exist everwhere, there are some weather elements that prevent them from doing an effective job
Well done congratulations brave intelligent valorous gallant wise visionary Soviet rassian drones operators all rassians prouded you ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Interns.. goddamn
I really don't get how a light drone with a small charge can destroy a heavily armored battle tank.
Does anybody know the technical details?
Looks like they are using some sort of anti tank RPG warheads, but deploying them using a drone. Quite effective actually, in that you can have a live video feed from a safe bunker somewhere without having to give away your position. If you look up what an actual Anti armor RPG warhead can do you’ll find it is effective, it’s old technology, but has become more sophisticated and lighter.
👍😉🇷🇺🇫🇷🇷🇺🇫🇷🇷🇺🙏🙏🇷🇺🇫🇷🇷🇺🇷🇺
It's weakness is the communication signal. If you can cut that thrn the drone would be useless.
10 million dollar Abhrams Tank, $500 drone = bullseye!
Target blast area. Operators unlike snipers are not exposed.
Sit out in safety.
The damn controller looks no different from the RC controller. They should make it so that 1 operator can control a bunch of them at one time.
That tech has been available for many years. Up to hundrends of drones can be controlled by one operator, but actually using hundreds of drones with small munitions on one target probably becomes cost inefficient when the Russians can just drop a Fab 3,4,500 on a target.
@@BlahBlah-kb1wf What??? Have you seen China control it? You don't need to target 1 damn target with all of them. They can all chase a target of their own.

All poor countries need to invest in this to not finish like Iraq and Afghanistan
7:37 Russia is producing approximately 300,00 drones monthly. If you think about the math: let's say every drone dropped a munition on several opposition forces. That means Ukrainian casualties could be up to 600-800,000+ per month. What if there was a 100% success rate. On the low end, let's say one kill per one drone, that's still 300,000 kills. Even at 30% success rate that's 90,000 kills.
Clearly the casualties that have been reported by Ukraine are not at all true. Considering that and all of the videos online of Ukrainian men being forcefully conscripted, I would bet their losses are unfathomable.
