These drones are terrifying

What kind of munition did the FYIP drone use? That looked a bit like a javelin.

Holy fuck, they don't even have to get close now. Fucking brutal lmao.

The blast pattern makes it look like it may be been more effective if it was detonated perpendicularly. However, as is, it was successful in hitting at least 3 Muscovite which is 2 more than a single drone would, so well done!

Hmmm.... That pattern was unique. I suspect they strapped a claymore to a drone.

Not sure if a whole claymore as that would be heavy, but likely something they developed with similar principles.

The blast pattern looks similar and you can see the munition is suspended above the water with only a string so it has to be pretty small.

They only weigh 3.5lbs, well with-in the weight limited of of many of the drones.
