    Isn’t it pretty incredible watching these guys learn how to use them in real time? I think the most unsteady one I saw released was a hit on a US helicopter that may not have been close enough to completely destroy it, but was still in damage range.

      It is. They’re definitely getting better, and that’s not to say they were “bad” in the first place, just not as good as the multi-year vets from the Ukraine war.

      I saw that one! His only mistake was coming in low - the propeller wash blew the drone off course. If he came in from the top it would have been sucked right down into the rotors and killed the chopper. It can serve as a lesson for the next time
