This is dystopian hell and it can happen anywhere at this point.
Remember when I said "the Ukraine war is like WWI with drones", this is what I meant.

does it has to get that close? or is the drone operator just playing?
seems like a skeet practice opportunity.
I would like to see a little more at the end, I feel like we are being so manipulated. I’m not saying what we saw was not real, I’m just not seeing enough at the moment.
I don't click on links to propaganda.
That should be shown to everyone who still wants a side 'to win' in this pointless bloodbath.
Wow, totally fucked on that one. Guy needs a shotgun with some goose loads or possibly #2 turkey load.
The video is from above, so there's an aircraft or satellite looking down. What are some defense possibilities? Smoke? Radio jammer? Warm moving decoys? Spring-loaded net? Another drone to intercept?
Video from above is probably another drone.
Yikes. And my mind instantly started thinking up ideas for a handheld ballistic tangle net or something to foul its propellers before it gets lethally close. Mini flak shooter that has a longer range than a shotgun, especially if these are built to stand up to pellets at long distance. And a fold out blast shield for last resort…
Actually, Camo net over a frame with small enough mesh secured to it (so long as it is big enough & they stay far enough away from the edges) could cause such light drones some issues.

A rake with a telescoping pole, perhaps?
That could almost qualify as a war crime. Hunting down and killing an unarmed combatant.
Damn we better all get better at skeet shooting
