@petrairene If fitted with APKWS rockets, yes.

Shahed cost is reportedly 193,000 USD for orders of 6,000 and 290,000 for orders of 2,000. The price Iran was asking for was too much for Russia so they started domestic production at a "flyaway" cost of 48k per unit, but taking all the investments into account Russia is paying 165,500 USD per unit. The sources claiming 20k were parroting pro-Russian propaganda.

@johnhermann7498 If the person doesn't have good enough vision to watch a screen in front of their face, the conscription office will probably not put them in drone pilot duty. There's plenty of videos of AK fire hitting. Almost no videos of shotguns doing the job right because the pilots can fly out of pellet range.

@CheefCoach Prop planes are actually less vulnerable to MANPADS than most think. The prop wash mixes and cools the exhaust. Unless they have an AIM-9X style pseudo-imager seeker, you're good lol

Except that geese don't have a human operating their eyes who can clearly see a soldier raising his shotgun and just blast off into 100m above ground level. A lot of drone footage makes the ground appear closer than it is. They're really eyes in the sky, and they have greater freedom of movement than a bird.

@johnhermann7498 Reapers fly straight like an aircraft. It's quadcopters which have the ability to shoot straight up. Brother, I've seen hours and hours of drone footage at this point. Hitting drones is easier with an AK rifle than with a shotgun. You can clearly see that in instances where shotguns are used, the drone pilot simply punches the throttle and flies straight up to step out of range. Hunter orange? My guy, uniforms rarely blend in and even when they do, you can see the humans by movement. I can tell you don't watch drone footage, because you can clearly see people and identify which side they're on. Humans don't put their eyeballs on drones. They put a camera. Human visual acuity is meaningless when you have a 720p screen inches away from your face.

The guy in the back shot it, WWI style. When air combat started, they didn't have forward facing machine guns.

@TheGreatAmphibian You don't let them find the target. You find the target, and order the drone to meet it. Freaking grandmas in villages in Finland warned of Soviet bombing runs by calling the city on the only landline available in the village. A computerized system with eyes, ears everywhere will see and hear drones coming.

Parachutes are a way to recover drones so you can skip the complex landing in an unmanned system. It was a recon drone, so it wasn't a mass attack.~ Just think a little harder.
