I find it interesting that the soldiers didn’t defend themselves. Were they unarmed? Are they lacking training? They were definitely afraid. However, even if it was a kamikaze drone loaded with anti personnel munitions I would think that shooting it, even from a few feet away would increase the likelihood of survivability. I understand that we are watching the emergence of genuine fifth generation warfare. However, any Ham Radio operator on the planet could build a directed energy weapon out of an old microwave that would fry even the most hardened drone at five to ten feet. Why are they just cowering like that?

The soldiers’ lack of defense could be due to being unarmed, untrained, or caught off guard by the drone’s speed and small size. Fear likely played a role, as kamikaze drones loaded with explosives are highly intimidating. Shooting a drone is challenging—it’s hard to hit, and there’s a risk of premature detonation. This highlights the shift to fifth-generation warfare, where drones dominate. While makeshift countermeasures like microwave-based energy weapons could work, they require preparation and aren’t practical in frontline combat. Their reaction shows the need for better training and anti-drone strategies.
