How to escape from a Drone? FPV pilots from the Rubizh Brigade have analysed several battlefield scenarios to determine the best strategies for escaping drone attacks. According to pilot Oleksandr, one of the most effective tactics is to shoot back at the drone when it approaches in a straight line. Another successful method is to dodge the drone, creating an opportunity for the pilot to make a mistake.
Oleksandr also shares that the Russians have shot down his drones multiple times by throwing machine guns at them. However, the occupiers still suffered injuries in the process. He advises against freezing in the hope that the drone operator won't spot you, as this gives the pilot a better chance to aim and make a more accurate shot.
For a detailed account of how the Rubizh Brigade's operators repelled a Russian assault with small arms fire while simultaneously launching drones, watch the story by Lieutenant Serhiy Lipko on Army TV.
