2 | Ukrainian Hobby Drone PIlots Turn to DIY Drones to Battle Russia in August 2014 Video | 8/28/2014 | "Ukraine's military geeks are bringing the fury to the front line. The pro-Ukrainian volunteer fighters were frustrated with the lack of organization and funding of the Ukrainian army, so the self-proclaimed "nerd units" decided to take matters into their own hands. They crowdsourced funds to purchase drones and quadcopters. And now the eye-in-the-sky machines are proving to be a game-changer in the fight against pro-Russian separatists. Aerial information about enemy fighters is key in any conflict, but for a largely underfunded and inefficient army, like Ukraine's, it's hard to come by. The lack of such information hurts in terms of both intel and financing: Every badly aimed mortar is just more money wasted. With their newfound aerial support, the pro-Ukrainian forces are now using a drone named “The Fury” to call in coordinates for their mortar attacks against the pro-Russian rebels. The Fury has located enemy tanks near Gorlivka, Ukraine, which the soldiers later destroyed, according to a drone pilot whose identity was withheld. Volunteers like Aleksey Arestovich, a former Ukrainian military intelligence officer, provide the Ukrainian army with great deal of support. Arestovich says the government is too inefficient to effectively fight the war. His battalion, along with others, began to crowdsource the money needed for the drones back in May, and he notes that they received a good chunk of donations from an unexpected source: “kind housewives.” It's all part of a grassroots movement to provide ammunition and other tools to help the pro-Ukrainian forces soar, as battalion commander Yuri Bereza says, “like a phoenix rising from its ashes."" - Vocativ on YouTube | Vocativ on YouTube | YouTube | Very interesting 2014-era video showing Ukrainian fighters starting up efforts to use low-budget DIY drones to combat the first Russian invasion. | DIY drones | Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ukrainian volunteers | Ukraine | Journalism | 2014 | NA | Ukraine | No | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHo7x2Vcjjg | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4 | "Cry 'Mavic' and let slip the drones of irregular war | 5/2/2018 | "War doesn’t change so much as it iterates. The ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, pitting the government of Ukraine against Russian-backed separatists, is less a concise picture of modern warfare than it is a mashup of trends in war from across the last century.Take, for instance, the recent bombardment of trenches along the M14 highway near the Taganrog Bay in the eastern end of the Sea of Azov. Inside the trenches were separatists aligned forces, and above them, doing the bombing, was a commercial drone.“The uploaded video showed three ‘bombing runs’ from the drone, targeting trenches controlled by Russian and separatist forces along the M14 highway, which runs along the Azov coast between government-controlled Mariupol and Russia,” reports the Minsk Monitor." | Kelsey Atherton on C4ISRNet | C4ISRnet | Article form 2018 exploring a case where Ukrainian armed forces used a small DJI Mavic drone to bombard separatist-held trenches near Taganrog Bay in the eastern end of the Sea of Azov. | Likely DJI | Ukrainian Armed Forces | NA | Journalism, Bombing, Offensive | 2018 | Ukraine | 47.10862891 | 37.85151893 | Yes | https://www.c4isrnet.com/unmanned/2018/05/02/cry-mavic-and-let-slip-the-drones-of-irregular-war/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

" The personnel of the unmanned aerial vehicles unit of the Russian military base in Abkhazia, during the stage of bilateral company tactical exercises, discovered more than 1,000 enemy targets, Vadim Astafyev, head of the press service of the Russian Southern Military District, told reporters. "At training events, during ground reconnaissance using drones, the coordinates of the headquarters, equipment and infantry concentrations of the mock enemy were transmitted online to the command posts of the formation," he said. Every day, at the Gudauta, Tsabal and Nagvalou training grounds, servicemen improved their skills in preparing for work and deploying drone systems, as well as launching the drones themselves in strong winds and in the mountains. In addition, the personnel of the drone unit carried out reconnaissance of the surface forces of a mock enemy as part of a joint exercise of the air defense divisions of the 49th Combined Arms Army and ships of the Novorossiysk naval base of the Black Sea Fleet. In total, more than 1,500 Russian military personnel took part in tactical exercises on the territory of Abkhazia and the border maritime zone, more than 500 units of military equipment and ships were involved, including up to 20 modern drone systems." - RIA Novosti | RIA Novosti | RIA Novosti | September 2018 RIA Novosti article, sourced by Sam Bendett, providing proof that the Russian military was using small DJI drones to a limited extent (the DJI Phantom is visible in the picture) at the time - in this case, for exercises in Abkhazia. | DJI Phantom | Russia | Russia | Journalism | 2023 | NA | Russia | No | https://twitter.com/SamBendett/status/1616540801202356263 | https://ria.ru/20180913/1528440350.html | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | 2020 Account of Ukrainian Soldier Attacked by Russia, Viewed From Reconaissance Drone | 8/3/2020 | "The Order initiates the creation of a petition to award the Sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zhuravly Yaroslav Serhiyovych, the title "Hero of Ukraine" (posthumously). Yaroslav Zhuravel and a reconnaissance group went to look for the body of his dead brother. Both the headquarters of the OOS and the 35th brigade claim that the "regime of silence" for the period of the search operation was guaranteed through the OSCE. The crane went first. And he was the first to take the blow of the enemy. This is what the "guarantees" of the OSCE are worth. The group tried to help the sergeant, who crawled to the side. But the heavy fire of the enemy did not allow it to be done. Yaroslav was "seen" from a reconnaissance drone, when he was still alive. Then he disappeared from sight - probably fell into a beam. But he did not surrender to the enemy. He died for 4 days without ever betraying the state that abandoned him. The impotent green government must somehow rehabilitate itself after this shameful situation. And award Yaroslav the title "Hero of Ukraine". Especially since his act in the last days and hours of his life deserves it. It only takes two minutes of your time to sign the petition and share the link with your friends. But this is the moral duty of all conscientious citizens. Yaroslav deserves it. https://petition.president.gov.ua/petition/102944" "Орден ініціює створення петиції про надання сержанту ЗСУ, Журавлю Ярославу Сергійовичу, звання «Герой України» (посмертно).

7 | Ukrainian High-Speed Drone Buzzes Russian Trenches in May 2021 | 5/13/2021 | "I'll stay a little high. After a spectacular video (https://youtu.be/klOWhZt8BLg) with the work of the FPV drone on enemy positions, there was interest (to put it mildly) in such drones. They began to see almost a "simple solution" to many problems. All this reminded me of 14 years and the excitement around the "barrettes" as around the panacea. Why did it remind me of the barrette situation now? Because trained snipers who can consciously work at a distance of 1500+ can still be counted on our fingers. This is the prose of life. Not only do we have few of them. There are not many of them in the armies of any country. Because it's difficult. The same is true with the FPV drone. There are many beautiful videos on YouTube, as high-speed helicopters work wonders. But behind each of these videos is a lot of training, experience, knowledge of the area and ... battered drones. To work on such helicopters you need to study. The pilot who shot this video was not just interested in drones on an amateur level. He has flown thousands of hours on helicopters and birds. But he learned to fly the FPV from scratch. On the FPV drone simulator, many hours, long and tedious, then on landfills. And only then went on a combat sortie. It's just really difficult. At such speeds, without knowing the terrain, the probability of crashing a drone is very high. And if we break it, we won't be able to pick it up and fix it. Most likely, the militants will do it. I am two-handed for using such drones. I just don't want the best motives to be smashed into pieces by not very experienced pilots. To work with these drones, you need to do a lot and change your mind a little during the flight. And this can be done only after many hours of training. This video shows how the good reaction of the pilot saved the drone from a collision. And this, too, is earned only in training. You just have to take this into account when you are asked to bring a high-speed drone to the unit. And thanks to everyone who helps. UPD. Expert comment - "and for people not in the topic, I should say that the pilot does not see THIS picture, it is written to the memory card.

Now the enemy is being exhausted by the advanced units of the Corps, but neither our special forces nor the Russian units have yet come into action. So to talk about our depletion, to put it mildly, is not correct. The main reason for the delays in advancing, as I said, minefields. After the first losses at the beginning of the activation, we changed our tactics: when a minefield is detected, the advancing troops take up the defense and wait until the special equipment makes its way through. There are problems with air reconnaissance - groups of our UAVs do not have time to provide adjustments and data to all units that entered the battle.

31 | UAV Use Mention on March 5th, 2022 by DPR/Russian Forces | 3/5/2022 | "There are two main factors that influence our actions now, determining their success. It is the availability of sufficient forces and resources to accomplish our tasks, and the understanding that we are dealing with our cities and our people. The factor of experience, skills, knowledge is important, but not the main one - all this is acquired quite quickly, albeit at the cost of losses. Here is yesterday's picture of the battle on the outskirts of Mariupol: armor and troops landing in the alleys, looking for passages, and the enemy moves in groups on the territory studied by him and loved in the military sense, bypasses, snaps. Our drone hangs in the air, and on subsequent viewing it is clear how the enemy is using dense urban development for their own purposes. What would our ancestors do in such conditions? Yes, they would level everything with the ground, then they would hit the buildings with cannons, make passages, smoke out the surviving enemy like rats from burrows. But we are standing in front of residential buildings, we know that there is an enemy there, not shooting, because the enemy has covered itself with civilians. We are trying to maneuver, but the advantage in the city is still on their side. In terms of numbers, I must say that it is enough to block Mariupol, but there are no reserves yet for storming. We are still probing in different directions, identifying their positions, pressing the connection and waiting for the necessary reserves to be released. But I have to state: if the enemy will actively resist - the city will suffer greatly. The population needs to understand this, and negotiators need to take steps to evacuate." | Alexander Skif on Telegram )@aleksandr_skif) | Telegram | Commentary by DPR leader describing drone use early in the war. | NA | Aleksandr Skif, DPR / Russian forces | Russia | Documentation, Targeting | 2022 | Mariupol area (probably).

We transferred the assault group on equipment - we came across heavy fire from the private sector. The group was abandoned, the armor rolled out with a punctured wheel, but the square from where it was beaten was set as a target. They hung the "bird", logically identified the houses where the fire was coming from - the front group - and struck with the full confidence that the private sector had long since left the front line. The smoke dissipated, the "bird" showed destruction, but had not yet flown away, as a man crawled out of nowhere, and began to patch the hole. Fighting is not the first day, everything around is in holes from mines and shells, full of destruction - and man refuses to leave his nest, which he once built for children, and sits next to enemy positions ... They shoot, and he lives there, as he had lived before, perhaps, more than a decade, and it is obvious that he is going to die in his house to the detriment of everyone and everything. And what are we?

95 | Roman Donik on UAV Use in the Early Ukraine War | 3/19/2022 | I really don't want to upset anyone, but I'm a little upset by some of society. The fact that more and more tactical checkpoints and units are ready to defend the rear and peaceful cities, it certainly adds a little peace where they stand, but does not make the weather here and now in positions. As will not make any weather in the war globally. Do you understand? We now have 95% of the same people who started doing the occupiers three weeks ago. That's how they started, and they do it every day. They suffer losses, consume the resource of equipment, get tired. And here in the Facebook books we have already defeated everyone, scolded selfies and photos with weapons, and according to tradition we started to shit and find out who has more, longer, better. People, we risk jumping into trouble. We do not have infinite resources. We have distortions with mobilization. We do not have time to train and set up new units. We do not have time to swing in the receipt and purchase. Everything from the wheels goes into battle. At least here we have. We are here a little fucking the occupier and cynically thank God that the missiles that fly at our heads do not fly in the military and not in the capital. Because we understand that our task is to bleed the enemy, exhaust him and gain time to supply weapons and train people. And the fact that this is due to the heroism of people with weapons does not reduce the threat to cities that believe that some mythical government has already "stopped and almost destroyed" the enemy. It does not. We can't stop now. You can't break contact and you can't let the enemy take hold. Like it or not, the advantage in equipment, weapons and personnel is still on the side of the occupier. The advantage is observed from the sky. They avoid direct collisions and work with artillery, trying to inflict damage from afar without assuming their losses. This is their tactic. They try to move forward, meet the rebuff, roll back and begin to iron art with the support of UAVs all they see. Yes, technically we do them losses and fire damage every single day. But we must understand - the Russians still have resources. They are now collecting reserves from all over Russia. They are twig and twig. Yes, they still can't understand our tactics and determine our fighting orders in some areas. And they will not be able to. Because they do not exist in the understanding of the dogmatic Russian military school. There are dozens, hundreds of raid groups, which with the support of dowry artillery exhaust the enemy without giving him a break. But it takes tremendous effort, and carries a heavy load. Each artillery and mortar battery provided for such a group must be fully mobile. From BC to food and electricity. We are cutting logistics for the occupier, but we vitally need to keep our logistics in good condition. Ambushes, mobile teams, raid teams, intelligence are all now working with phenomenal efficiency. But it works to the limit. At the limit of possibilities under constant artillery fire of the occupiers. Because so far there is nothing to shoot down their UAVs in raids. And our birds fail and get lost. Let's just stop with the non-war. Because nothing has been decided yet, and nothing is stable. Every city around which fighting is taking place can become like Mariupol. Every city around which no fighting is taking place today may become a front-line battle tomorrow. Just understand that. No one. None of those who are in Ukraine now can be completely safe. Because it can change at any moment. I tell you this as a person who, when he goes out for an hour, takes with him what he needs for three days. And when we go to work, I collect all my valuable and necessary property with me and hide it for the last time. Because stupidly there may be nowhere to go. This is not a scarecrow. This is being. And yes, we still need good transport to the front. For different tasks. Not to fat anymore. But good technical condition. Passable. Preferably diesel. Copters are still needed - Autel EVO II Pro V2 quadcopters, preferably with thermal imaging heads. It's not cheap. But it's worth it. Protected tablets and laptops for artillery are still needed. Because now artillery is our everything. And more. Я дуже не хочу нікого засмучувати, але трошки мене починає напружувати настрій деякої частини суспільства. Те що все більше та більше стає тактикульних блокпостів та підрозділів, які готові захищати поки що тилові та мирні міста, це безумовно трошки додає спокою там де вони стоять, але не робить погоди тут і зараз на позиціях. Як і не зробить ніякої погоди в війні глобально. Розумієте? В нас зараз переробкою окупантів займаються на 95% ті ж самі люди, які почали це робити три тижні тому. От як почали, так і кожного дня це роблять. Несуть втрати, виїдають ресурс техніки, втомлюються. А ми тут в фісбучиках вже всіх побороли, нахурили селфачів та фоточок зі зброєю, та за традицією почали сратися та з'ясовувати в кого більше, довше, краще. Люди, ми ризикуємо вскочити в біду. В нас нема нескінчених ресурсів. В нас є перекоси з мобілізацією. В нас нема часу на навчання та залагодження нових підрозділів. В нас нема часу на розкачку в отриманні та закупівлі. Все з колес йде в бій. Принаймні тут у нас. Ми тут трошки їбашим окупанта і цинічно дякуємо богові, що ракети які летять нам на голови летять не в військових та не в столицю. Бо ми розуміємо, що наша задача знекровити ворога, вимотати його та виграти час для постачання зброї та навчання людей. І те що в нас це виходить завдяки героїзму людей зі зброєю, не зменшує загрозу для міст, які вважають, що ворога якась міфічна влада вже "зупинила та мало не знищила". Це не так. Нам зараз не можна зупинятися. На можна розривати контакт та не можна давати ворогу закріпитися. Подобається це чи ні, але перевага в техніці, в зброї та в кількісті особового складу поки що на стороні окупанта. Перевага в спостережені з неба. Вони уникають прямих зіткнень і працюють артилерією стараючись нанести ураження здалеку не припускаючи своїх втрат. Це їх тактика. Вони намагаються просуватися, зустрічають відсіч, відкатуються і починають утюжити артою за підтримки БПЛА все що бачать. Так, технічно ми робимо їм втрати та вогневе ураження кожного божого дня. Але треба розуміти - ресурси в росіян ще є. Вони зараз стягують резерви з усіх куточків РФ. Вони пруть і пруть. Так, вони досі не можуть на окремих ділянках зрозуміти нашої тактики та визначити наші бойові порядки. І не зможуть. Бо їх нема в розумінні догматичної військової російської школи. Є десятки, сотні рейдових груп, які за підтримкою приданої артилерії вимотують ворога не даючи йому передиху. Але це потребує колосальних зусиль, та несе велике навантаження. Кожна артилерійська та мінометна батарея придана для такої групи повинна бути повністю мобільна. Від БК до їжі та електрики. Ми ріжемо окупанту логістику, але нам життєво необхідно свою логістику тримати в гарному стані. Засідки, мобільні групи, рейдові групи, розвідка це все зараз працює з феноменальною ефективністю. Але працює на межі можливостей. На межі можливостей під постійним артилерійським вогнем окупантів. Бо нема поки що чим збивати їх БПЛА в рейдах. І наші птахи виходять з ладу та збиваються. Давайте просто зупинимось з тим що не стосується війни. Бо ще нічого не вирішено, та нічого нема стабільного. Кожне місто навколо якого ведуться бої, може стати таким як Маріуполь. Кожне місто навколо якого сьогодні не ведуться бої, може завтра стати фронтовим. Просто зрозумійте це. Ніхто. Ні одна людина з тих хто зараз в Україні, зараз не може бути в повній безпеці. Бо кожну мить це може змінитися. Це я вам кажу як людина, яка коли виходить на годину, бере з собою необхідне на три дні. А коли виходимо на роботу, то все своє цінне та потрібне майно збираю з собою та ховаю як останній раз. Бо тупо може не бути куди повернутися. Це не страшилки. Це буття. І так, нам на фронт все так же потрібен транспорт в хорошому стані. Під різні задачі. Вже не до жиру. Але хороший технічний стан. Проходимі. Бажано дизеля. Все так же потрібні коптери - квадрокоптери Autel EVO II Pro V2 бажано з тепловізійними головами. Це не дешево. Але воно того варто. Все так же потрібні захищені планшети та ноутбуки для артилерії. Бо зараз артилерія наше все.
