I still find it weird when land forces isn't making a large-scale order for kamikaze UAVs. Especially when their effectiveness is proven and we have many manufacturers at this point.

TALAY, the World's First Low Altitude Multi-Purpose Unmanned Aerial Vehicle developed by Solid Aero.
A lot of hobbyists make ekranoplans in that scale. If they want to be taken seriously, they need to come up with a bigger prototype with a couple of meters of clearance.
It looks like a small drone,probably cant fly to high(2/300m at most) so,shoot it down on sight.
New Russian Russian FPV drone with a coil of thin fiber optic cable over 10 kilometers long. The drone transmits digital, real-time video over a 10.5km spool of fiber-optic cable. This kind of drone is almost impossible to stop with EW.

How can you find a solution to such a problem, guys? Wouldn't this lead to soft kill systems being garbage?
I would say the so, how much of the fiber it can use efficiently?It looks like a small drone,probably cant fly to high(2/300m at most) so,shoot it down on sight.
But for this you have to get close to him. These can be used not only for kamikaze attacks but also for marking/surveillance in artillery or mortar attacks. So wouldn't getting close to him be a problem during large-scale conflict?It looks like small drone,probably cant fly to high(2/300m at most) so,shoot it down on sight.
Not 10km or even 5km,thats for sure.I would say the so, how much of the fiber it can use efficiently?
It still has a use nonetheless, but i am trying to figure out how that mechanically work? Imo fibers have certain restrictions on bending and curve they attain. They might use it for relays maybe? Just to elevate from ground and access to other drones?Not 10km or even 5km,thats for sure.
To simple to be taken serious.
The weather conditions also apply for the use of the drone,its a simple drone,not much sophistication as it looks.But for this you have to get close to him.

Maybe they can be shot with sniper rifles. However, the weather conditions must be suitable for this. In the meantime, you can perform acoustic monitoring with more than one surveillance UAV and still detect the location of that sniper. There is no end to the tactics and measures that can be developed against them. We need a definitive solution.
Anything is possible but dont you think the drone is to small and to simple to give it so much attention?It still has a use nonetheless, but i am trying to figure out how that mechanically work?

Still fibers would require decoders at the each end, could they fit one in that drone?
It is not a problem for a UAV to fly in light winds or fog (depending on the quality of the payload). However, the parameters for a sniper to make precise shots are very specific. The slightest change in the weather directly affects their ability to hit their target.The weather conditions also apply for the use of the drone,its a simple drone,not much sophistication as it looks.
So,easy to shoot down.
Btw,more then one as in two three?
What happens to the cables?
To much work and to complicated.

Meanwhile, you can develop a tactic with more than one squad, independent of each other, taking off via cable and monitoring different areas. Thus, you ensure situational awareness at the company level.
This isn't some magic solution, this is something you would do if you can't properly overcome enemy's jamming, which is something Russia is incompetent at. Not to mention they let an EW vehicle get captured some time during the first year of the war. And I highly doubt this thing can fly 10 kms from the source without that line of fibre optics getting caught in something.

The most stable position is prone supported, or any other modified supported sitting position where the muscle relaxation is at the maximum level. The problem here is that the drone operates at a higher altitude and there will likely be trouble with finding suitable conditions for a supported position that will allow taking a shot in such a steep angle. Also the drone is a little target and must stay steady in order for the Sniper to have a chance to take it down.
TSK is dealing with drones for sometime now and thankfully PKK drones are of low quality so their success is small. TSK found solutions in both anti-drone EW "guns", but most importantly some of the units depending on the mission are deployed with a shotgun as a hard kill measure. Usually an ARMSAN RS-S1 is delivered to the units.
When it comes to an air defence system there are a lot of solutions already both in terms of soft kill and hard kill. If we talk about a self defence measure on platoon level I think the best solution would be a shotgun. In certain scenarios there is a dedicated breacher that carries a shotgun. It may be full sized and underbarrel. Judging by the developments a small shotgun will start to take a place in the default configuration within a platoon. Anti-drone EW guns may be good, but they are too big to be carried in a offensive scenarios. A stationary position is better suited for it while the shotgun is both able to shoot down drones if they are close enough, but also can be used in other scenarios with different kinds of munitions.
We also have jammers with our METI/PMKI teams that are used for suppressing the activation of IEDs. Maybe they also can cover the frequencies used by the controllers of the UAVs.
In fact, the MERTER Backpack Electronic Attack System has entered the inventory. I think we have an advantage here against classic kamikaze.

Every addition would make it costly,no?
