Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Drones, modern warfare and the next step

If you’re watching any of the footage coming from Ukraine, then you’re aware of what modern warfare looks like.

Drones.

Unassuming victims are picked off individually or in small groups by simple drones dropping grenades, or by kamikaze drones that chase the enemy down and blow them to bits on impact. Quite terrifying if you’re the guy on the ground.

My question is, how do you fight back against them? My initial thought is a shotgun loaded with magnum shot, maybe 5 or 6 size, with a moderately choked barrel. There are some videos of Russians trying to shoot down drones with various small arms, but I’ve yet to see a Rooskie with a shotgun.

I fear the next step is automated drones (AI) that hunt down enemy drones. The Terminator series of movies has never seemed more relevant.

Automated drones are just a technological step beyond CIWS.
CIWS being AI controlling a robotic gun, 1980s tech. And standard issue
in bigger ships for decades.

When this is going on half a world away, it goes easily under the radar. But in the event that we were were attacked by a tyrannical government, or by extremists, we could easily see this sort of thing on American soil.

All I'm gonna say is, Pull! Then shoot in front of it.

All that skeet shooting over the years is finally gonna be useful...

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking.
There’s a war coming, right now it’s cold and spiritual.
But if you’re a good guy, you need to be thinking about it and preparing for it.
Right now the bad guys are calling the shots. They’re actually preparing the population to accept cold blooded murder of you by using words like “domestic terrorist, white separatist” and “a threat to democracy”.
It make no mistake. I promise you, if you believe in the ideals that made America number one.
YOU ARE A THREAT THAT THEY WANT TO ELIMINATE!!!
Edited to add this.
I’m a white US Army veteran, I’m a practicing Christian, and I’m a gun owner.
Can you really think of a bigger threat to a crooked bureaucrat than guys like me?

I know it’s illegal to shoot down a drone, but what if it is your drone? The testing has to start somewhere.

How about jamming the radio signal with possibly a microwave device. Or shining a laser at the drone. The difficulty would be to detect the drone before it zeroes in on you.

If you watch the videos, many Rooskies know the drone is above in the final seconds before it drops its payload. This is why I think a shotgun at hand might be your best and only hope.

Also, most grenades/bombs drop for about 3 seconds, which would put the drones a little less than 100’ AGL.

It's possible that skill set might prove useful.

Never waste an opportunity to brag or promote yourself. Sad.

Wouldn't military drones be armored against something like shotgun pellets?

I don’t know, but from what I can tell these are simple little drones. I don’t know if they have been produced and designed for combat.

This is the product that I helped develop and write all the SW for, before I retired. Did a lot of testing on it. I will stop a drone mid-flight and the send it in the direction that the dronebuster is pointing. The drone operator is jammed out and un-able to control the drone at all. It's very simple to use. Point it at the drone and pull the trigger.

You people who think you'd just shoot down these drones with shotguns are in so far over your heads they'd have to pump daylight to you.

Who uses a shotgun?

Might.

If ya can get the drone ta fly straight and level away from ya, but not until ya tell it to.

While ya throw bullets over the horizon.

Maybe if ya can get the drone ta hover, ya could hit more than 25%.

I see depleted uranium flechettes on the horizon. Possibly with self guided micro logic AI involved.

Guy's, Once the drone is up about 200 ft you'll have a hard time seeing or hearing it. First time you'll realize that the drone is anywhere around you is when the grenade lands next to you.

The Dronebuster SNA that I talked about had some sensors that allowed you to detect the various RF frequencies that drones use. It also had directional antennas that allowed you to narrow in on the drone. There was an LED strength indicator that would give you an idea how close it was to you.

There is more that other companies were doing regarding electronic detection, disabling, and destruction, but I'm not at liberty to discuss it. Suffice it to say it's not that hard of a problem and it it actively being addressed.

Post up your video showing your skill set.



You most likely don't know this but drone attacking comes right straight at a guy. Easier shot than a going away clay.

Up you game, the drones are coming.
