Ukrainian Drone with a Stick Attacks a Russian Zala Drone
Video Summary
A novel approach to taking out a drone has been observed, where a Ukrainian drone with a stick attached to it takes out a Zara Recon drone. After the initial hit, the drone goes into a spin and crashes. Then, a second drone with a bigger stick arrives to finish the job. This tactic, where the drone with the stick whacks away at the rear propeller of the target drone, seems to be a work in progress. The video footage is all too short to confirm if the target drone was successfully taken out, but the flying of the fpv drone was impressive, with accurate and accurate targeting. The use of a stick instead of an explosive could allow the drone to be reused, making it a viable alternative. This tactic is thought to be happening in Ukrainian-controlled territory, and if successful, could allow for the recovery of the target drone and data analysis to track its route and potential launch point. This is an interesting and effective tactic that may be worth keeping an eye on.
