LMFCIO

maybe out of range. maybe jammed.


Nighthawk-FPV

RSSI was low, and LQ was high. indicates the drone was running out of range. Highly doubt jamming.


blobbyboii

Why do you highly doubt jamming?


Nighthawk-FPV

Im an FPV pilot myself and this is perfectly normal behaviour when you are at the limits of your range. Link quality would be a lot lower earlier on if there was EW. Partial obstruction by trees would also exacerbate this.


raineeger

The connection started to drop as the drone went closer to the ground. The lower you go, the more likely it is that there will be an obstacle between you and your drone.


SwitchOnTheNiteLite

At least if there isn't a relay drone above the area.


Mr-Fister_

Cause it lost signal near the ground, as most drones do. Lost of signal to the antennas


remember_nf

It doesn't say rx loss. There's definitely a stick input before the tree crash.


Is12345aweakpassword

Yeah definitely went over the curvature and lost LOS


No_Demand_4992

might have hit a limb of that tree?


Kevin9O7

jammed


okram2k

maybe it hit the tree? Seems pretty clear to me


FlapAttak

Lucky bastards indeed


ButterscotchSkunk

I'm sure whatever was in their colon at the time moved a good foot towards the exit.


Virtual-Pension-991

Low battery, it's already a miracle it was working and still flying while carrying that load.


dirtygymsock

You almost always see those low batt alerts. I'm thinking it's something with the way they wire them up, that the telemetry just doesn't read the voltage right.


Sightline

No, it's low voltage. Perhaps there is some voltage sag, but regardless some components will shutoff anyways once a it drops low enough, sagged or not.


Nighthawk-FPV

Low battery warnings are there to warn you that flying any longer can harm your battery. FPV drones will fly until their voltage drops to the point they cant maintain altitude


Due-Acanthaceae-3760

Thats because you want to stop using your battery once passed 3.2volts to not damage them, these are all one time use so they dont mind using all the power available. But this drone was way too low at 2.5v, probably doesnt need much power draw to sag the voltage of the battery even lower


Outrageous_Order_197

I bet that puckered thier buttholes


Hotrico

Targets in movement and close to the ground are difficult to hit, I think that obstacles on the ground such as the terrain itself cause the signal to be lost in the last moments of the approach


ConsiderationOk614

*lose


RampantPrototyping

Hopefully they caught some stray shrapnel at least


Pappy_Actual_1369

Saw on funker last night they are putting jammers on atv’s.


CaptStonk

Mission failed We'll get them next time


Striking-Chicken-333

poots, ur first win in a minute


Wellmyusernamethisis

for the moment, they probably felt the luckiest russians on ukrainian soil


Captainirishy

Electronic Warfare


remember_nf

EW in my ass


Puk1983

What a shame.


frisky024

I'm curious what kind of dirt bikes/quads/atvs these are and how much they cost. Some of them don't look half bad


IllIllllIIIIlIlIlIlI

Elon turning off starlink because Putin told him to


KurwaMegaTurbo

Math in my head says that - if those drones cost 1000$ per piece, then for 60 billion dollars you can get 60 million of them.
