Got too close for comfort nevertheless.
The VTX jamming is pretty clear, but at the end the drone started tumbling. Is that from control link jamming or did the pilot just give up and disarm?
Looks like they came in high and behind the chopper. Might've eaten the vortecies from the rotor.
Pretty soon all ELINT and ECM systems are going to be tuned to detect remote controlled drones, with the balance swinging back to the defence systems again.
Whoever comes up with a mass produced passive detector that first into a soldiers helmet, is going to make a lot of money.
Pretty soon we are going to be back to wire guided and self guided munitions. They will just be a lot cheaper than they used to be.
