I have thought for a couple years that Ukraine should be given some EMB 314 Super Toucans, which are a Brazilian made propeller driven attack aircraft designed for supporting ground troops in close air support, but to use them to go after drones. This just reinforces that belief.
I don’t know if Brazil would be in a position to give it rn tho. They have an aerobatics team composed of them so it should also be maneuverable enough
@@suspiciousstew1169 America had a bunch of them that they were planning on giving Afghanistan before the Taliban took over. I don't know if those are in Afghanistan or out in New Mexico in storage, but I am betting at least some of them are still on US controlled air bases or storage facilities somewhere.
Ukraine could also use the Super Toucans the same way they use their helicopters, flying at high speed, low to the ground, firing rockets and missiles at enemy positions, then banking hard and getting out of there to avoid AA fire. Super Toucans could perform this role, and their speed might be a greater advantage.
Awesome,makes you think about getting a few Tucanos or Texan II's. Or you could get a few ultralights. For instance the Blackshape Prime (which has hardpoints) and use that :-) I would almost go as far as saying isn't there some old wwII plane that flies in airshows and re-equip it (that is going too far I know)
Is drone-slow flight necessary because there's still no effective anti-drone weapon other than a guy shooting at it from nearby? We need a weapons research funding scheme that hands out shed-scale amounts. Who wouldn't 'fancy a shot at that'?
When Ukraine uses almost 50 year old training aircraft: resourceful, creative, determined When Russia uses any hardware older than 15 years: desperate, failing army that lacks _any_ modern equipment
Lmfao!!! "We are winning" The Yak, a literal game changer, just like all the other game changers, this changes the game, it's now a game of "who can hit it first" for Russian AA teams
These are being used behind the lines to take down pre targeted drones aimed at ukraines cities. The aa guns are well out of range... sadly russia is using ww2 German tactics to try and target civilians so these steps are necessary... but also proving to be effective. Russia is a joke nation buying munitions from n Korea and Iran as nobody else will deal with them, all they have is volume, the tech is garbage.
Aww comrade, what's the matter? Is your supervisor moving you to window seat and you're getting desperate? How *is* that three day SMO working out for you? Are you next in line to earn your wife a fur coat?
It's hardly something that's been actively fighting on the front in the same numbers as Russian jets, weren't the F16s meant to be their new aircraft not 50 year old YAKs 🤣
The drones russia are using at these ranges are shaheds etc... they go to preset gps coordinates so no... no they can't. And I doubt an fps would be able to catch it anyway... so still no.

Super Tucanos are too fast. General aviation aircraft are better suited to the role like the domestically produced Aeroprakt A-32.
A century and a half of innovation later only for this.
All those years of academy training wasted
Back to WWI air combat
Amazing
Great channel!

3:41 Do you guys do any research? I see Yak-52's on sale for €65.000-70.000. That's 100-150 times the price of these drones they're shooting down.

You could adjust your light(s) to make less shadow on the wall behind your head.
Slava Ukraini! And down with Farage for appeasing Putin. Despicable.
He didn’t appease pootin. He just said the truth. That NATO has spread close to russia

Ver oroyplatamdz rumble gracias.
What next, Zeppelin gun ships
Better: Screens are new coins?
They're using YAKs now???? HAHAHAHHAAA
if you got a flying one, why not :-)
Lmfao!!!

Funny how they’re not hitting it, but a lot of russian jets have been hit.

« Russian AA teams » 😂

LOL! A drone can shoot one of these things down. What a joke.

An Orlan 10 has a payload of.... 1 x Canon SLR.... not exactly lethal.
Since when did Russia have drones similar to the Predators and the Reapers?
Super!
I would suggest they employ gyrocopters as well for this.
e.g. Goggle
WHY Pilots Fly This Instead Of An Helicopter l AutoGyro Cavalon
