💥 Scouts burned the Russian "Osa" for 10 million dollars

🫡 Soldiers of the Kryla special unit of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine discovered and destroyed the Russian anti-aircraft missile system "Wasp".

💰 The cost of the enemy's automated air defense system is 10 million dollars. The cost of the fpv drone, which the scouts used to burn down the "Wasp", is several hundred dollars.

😎 Interesting math lessons will continue!

🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine!

Why do they always add the fake static right before the drone hits? They do it to every video.

That's actually happening, and isn't an effect. They're using analogue recorders because that's good/cheap enough to blow up after one use. There's a bit of a delay to process and transmit the signal, so it cuts out during the last bit of processing before it even registers the hit.

Which does make piloting it a bit tricky, too. And if you've ever flown any type of drone, you probably noticed it's faster than your reaction time, which makes these skilled attacks even more impressive to me. But I guess they also have a lot of practice, by now!

Analog video transmitters also work better at longer ranges, because a staticky signal is better than an "all or nothing" digital signal.

Couldn't that be a loss of signal due to adversarial jamming?

Maybe they don't want to let the Kremlin know how effective their electronic warfare systems are.

Does it transmit in HD until impact? Is it just barely able to hit the target?
