Ukrainian Soldier explains how he uses First-Person kamikaze drones - (FPV drones)
FPV (First person view) drones are used in Ukraine as 'kamikaze' or 'sniper drones'. Primarily aiming to take out armored vehicles and fortified positions, these small drones carry a repurposed explosive device such as a RKG anti-tank grenades or RPG warheads. I speak to Borys and Andrii from the 'Angry birds' unit about their FPV drone, how it works, the advantages and disadvantages, and what it is used for.
Quoting Angry Birds: "We are looking to fully fund our UAV production and humanitarian projects. Any support helps in making this possible. We provide clear reports (both financial and media) for each penny we receive. To support us, you can go to

Rohkenen väittää että DJIllä on aika kalliita droneja, niiden valmistuskustannuksiin nähden. Toki edullisia military kamppeisiin verrattuna, mutta eihän nuissa ole muuta kallista osaa kuin sen "aivot" anturoineen. Moottorit, nopeudensäätimet, akut ja rungot on halpoja nuissa kokoluokissa.

Sitä juuri hainkin että jos DJI:n FPV-drone maksaa 1150 euroa niin luultavasti ominaisuuksiltaan karsitun version voi tehdä halvemmalla joten tämän Amerkkalaisen yrityksen lupaama 999$ ei mahdoton hinta jollekin droneversiolle. Ehkä se on sellainen joka voi kantaa 1kg räjähteen. 2.5 kg:n räjähteen kantaminen kilometrien päähän kohtuunopeudella kuitenkin vaatii enemmän tehoa kuin halvemmissa kameradroneissa on, joten varmaan suurempi ja kalliimpi.

Vaikka Orbiterien toimitukset Suomeen aikanaan venähtivät, niin ilmeisesti firma kuitenkin osaa tehdä drooneja, sillä Kreikka ostaa kolmosversiota.

Israeli defense company Aeronautics, owned by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Stolero Aeron, agreed to supply Greece with Orbiter 3 unmanned aerial systems in a government-to government contract.
The deal is part of the sale of Rafael’s Spike missiles to the country in a package worth EUR 370 million ($404 million).

The Orbiter 3, which has a maximum take off weight of 32 kilograms (71 pounds) and can fly for as long as six hours, is suitable for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. The agreement will see “dozens” of the drone supplied to the Greek Ministry of Defense, the company said in a statement.
The initial announcement of the Spike deal made no mention of the Orbiter 3 and Israel’s Ministry of Defense did not elaborate. The announcement came before Yom HaShaoh, the annual Holocaust memorial day, and officials were not available to comment.
Aeronautics noted that as part of the contract, “Rafael will provide an advanced solution enabling significant operational advantage to the modern battlefield; while the Orbiter 3 systems detect, recognize and identify (DRI) the target, the Spike missiles, launched from the air, sea, or land can rapidly close the sensor-to-shooter loop, using the Fire Weaver; C4I system.”

In the last year Rafael has presented this kind of fire control capability, which it calls “the NLOS Mission Taskforce (NMT)… a comprehensive, end-to-end operational solution providing small, mobile combat units of 4X4 or armored vehicles with organic detection, attack, and fire control capabilities.”
The company did not comment on how the Orbiter 3 integrates with this system, beyond the statement about the UAV detecting targets while Spike can be launched to close the sensor-to-shooter loop.
“This collaboration demonstrates the technological synergy, and the close business integration, between the two companies,” said Aeronautics CEO Dan Slasky in the statement.
The UAV is runway-independent and can carry various types of payloads, as well as navigating in GPS-denied environments and in harsh weather conditions. In 2019 Aeronautics said it would supply the Orbiter 3 to an unnamed country in Asia and it also won a contract to another unnamed client in South America.

Aeronautics was founded in 1997 and acquired by Rafael and Stolero Aeron in 2019 with state-owned Rafael taking a fifty percent stake.
Greece and Israel have increasing partnerships on defense issues in recent years, including numerous joint drills. In 2020 Greece announced a leasing arrangement for large Heron drones with Israel’s IAI and Israel’s Elbit Systems was contracted to build a flight training facility in the country.

Videolla tuosta isosta dronesta tiputetaan kaksi pienempää dronea. Pienempiin droneihin sijoitettiin räjähde eli se on ilmeisesti valittavissa kohteen mukaan.

NEW DRONE COMPLETES FIRST FIRING OF MISSILE IN SIGNIFICANT UNMANNED AIR COMBAT MILESTONE​

A new versatile drone system capable of multiple types of combat mission over land, sea and air has completed a highly successful first trial firing of a Thales Lightweight Multirole Missile (LMM) to bring the potential of unmanned air combat a step closer to reality.

The JACKAL drone capability has been designed and developed by experts from UK-based Flyby Technology, with Turkish partners FlyBVLOS Technology and Maxwell Innovations providing design engineering and prototyping expertise, to fill a recently discovered gap in modern combat operations.

As a Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) platform, JACKAL is designed to satisfy a number of roles, including Battlefield Air Interdiction, Close Air Support, engaging helicopters in flight and killing tanks, to denying the use of runways and roads.

The trial - sponsored by the Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO) of the Royal Air Force – involved teams from Flyby and the technology giant Thales which also manufactures the LMM.

Within a demanding six-week window, they were able to build two operational JACKAL aircraft and successfully fire two LMMs in an impressive demonstration of agile teamwork.

As a plug-and-play system, new equipment and technologies can be incorporated into JACKAL between missions as well as during continued development. The company says this novel streamlined procurement process ensures that future aircraft are not obsolete before they go into service and will remain relevant for longer. It also gives a pathway to future regulatory compliance and airworthiness standards.

Flyby Technology CEO Jon Parker is a former RAF and Royal Navy fighter pilot and he and his team have brought many years of operational experience to bear in the design of the capability.

The company says many nations cannot afford attack helicopters or access fast jets that are modern enough to survive today’s battlefield. JACKAL can give them the same effect with little risk at a fraction of the price. Because the aircraft was born from the ideas of Harrier pilots, the aircraft takes off and lands vertically, another advantage over traditional fighter jets as there is no need for vulnerable runways. It also means that JACKAL can operate from hidden locations such as woods and urban built-up areas. A unique selling point for JACKAL.

Following the invasion of Ukraine, Flyby Technology was asked to brief the RAF’s Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO) on their new drone system.

The Flyby team also contacted Thales in Belfast - where the LMM is designed and manufactured - to explore the possibility of firing it from JACKAL in a trial.

The Thales team accepted the opportunity to work with Flyby to be the first to fire their LMM (also known as Martlet in the Royal Navy) from a drone in flight. Flyby Technology planned and built two operational aircraft from scratch and fired two LMMs in the demanding timescale of six weeks.

Firing a sophisticated missile is not an easy task under the best of conditions and then only with meticulous planning taking many months. JACKAL then being an unproven, experimental aircraft, just added to the complexity of the challenge says the company.

The Belfast team rose to the challenge magnificently and just six weeks after getting the call, the combined teams successfully fired two LMMs proving that JACKAL had arrived as a devastating combat capability able to fire modern battlefield weapons in flight.

Air Commodore Jez Holmes, Head of the RAF Rapid Capabilities Office, said “Given the impressively short time scale it took the team to deliver the initial trial, it’s clear that Flyby could have an exciting future in this sector, and the partnering and support from Thales was outstanding in lowering the barriers to entry for innovative start-ups. I’m looking forward to seeing the ongoing developments in this area.”

Jon Parker, Flyby Technology CEO, said: “War is about winning, and JACKAL is designed by war fighters for that ultimate aim. The days of having a Fighter Pilot in the cockpit are numbered and I realise I will not perhaps be loved for bringing about the end of my own kind. But the future of warfare is changing and JACKAL is part of that future as a true multi-role attack aircraft. We want to make JACKAL a flagship product, creating secure UK jobs and contributing to a new future for the British aerospace and defence industries.”

Philip McBride, Managing Director of Thales in Northern Ireland, said:“One of the unique selling points of LMM is its ability to be integrated onto multiple platforms, including armoured vehicles, helicopters, naval vessels or indeed, shoulder-launchers, each designed to address different threats. It has been a privilege to work with the Flyby team on this time-compressed and ground-breaking trial and has proved that both Thales and Flyby can produce impressive and agile results when focussed on a collective, shared objective.”

The JACKAL team is now developing plans for productionising the capability, whilst the aircraft is undergoing other enhancements and tactical development.

About Flyby Technology

As a former RAF and RN pilot, Air Warfare Instructor and Senior Weapons Instructor, Jon Parker has also brought to bear his project design, development and management experience gained previously from his role as aviation integration manager for the two new British aircraft carriers.

The original design development, prototyping and testing of JACKAL brought together the formidable warfighting expertise of Flyby together with the rapid prototyping and drone building expertise of partners FlyBVLOS Technology and Maxwell Innovations. This also meant the team could fly and test their aircraft at their dedicated range in Turkey without the regulatory restrictions placed on the flying of drones weighing more than 25 kilos in UK airspace.

Flyby Technology will continue development in Turkey as well as the UK, but is now seeking UK manufacturing partners to build JACKAL at scale. They are also designing weapons perfectly suited to both the JACKAL and its new Attack Drone role.

Mini Harpy can be launched from a broad range of mobile land platforms as well as marine platforms, sharing this capability with both the larger Harop and Green Dragon. There are also provisions for this munition to be air-launched, with a particular focus on combat helicopters that could greatly benefit from this capability. As for the other munitions, Mini Harpy is programmed before launch to fly to a designated loiter area, with the operator checking its status enroute and taking control for the target search.

Being equipped with two seekers, the missile can perform the targeting either fully autonomously, when using the anti-radiation seeker against emitting targets, or through the MITL guidance, when using the EO/IR sensor against non-emitting targets. In either case, the operator has control of Mini Harpy up to the last moment, including the abortion of the attack at any stage and the following recovery maneuver to return the missile to the loiter orbit for another attack run.
