have you read my (bi-)yearly drone warfare rants

automated AI-target-acquisition based on sound + => motion recognition bouncing betty FPV drones (drone see and hear, fly up, and boom) have existed atleast since (late?) 2024 if i remember correctly. park on top of a entry to a tunnel hideout, wait, 24 hours idle battery, fly up by a meter when audio and camera detect significant lifeform motion/noises, detonate. this is not too common as far as i know in comparison to usage as drones as methods of dropping/laying mines (including bouncing betties style mines) behind enemy lines, on logistics roads and similar (one of the major reasons why all major roads are covered in nets hanging over the road, its not JUST drone protection but also mine protection)

i havent actually accustomed myself to the last 5 months of drone warfare developments (since november when my USA trip started, and been too busy since) so im probably extremely out of the loop on the micro-detail stuff.

Considering that ukraine is netting about 20km of road a day when its not winter time, then its safe to assume that if it already doesnt exist, a drone type designed for breaching drone-nets on roads exists to some extent. A double edged razor blade weights ~2g, so 500 razors would weigh about a kilo, honestly i wouldnt be suprised if there was a way to launch 500 razor blades and it would somewhat effectively break drone nettings, though this is just a joke i made up right now.
