Reminds me of Japanese drug war. The druggies started using drones, then the cops got anti-drone drones with nets. Then the druggies got anti-anti-drones with nets to net the drones with nets. It's droneception.
Good catch, but they need to be sure and record the grids for those things for EOD to recover and decommision, or one day, long after the war is over, some kid is going to find it, and whatever ordnance it may have been carrying.
If the Ukes send anyone to recover it, they're probably going to find themselves holding one or more 152mm HE rounds.
Russians already have the grid. All they have to do now is watch.
We did the same thing with IED cells in AFG.
The way it used to go: 1) first guy or team comes out at night and digs a hole. They don't have anything incriminating on them and are unarmed. Can't smoke guys for digging a hole. 2) after they leave, the second element, who's been watching, after the first guys leave, and when they think the coast is clear, comes out and drops the device in the hole, and hauls ass. 3) third element waits until they think it's safe, comes out and buries the device and hauls ass.
How it really went: 1) first team digs the hole, and gets tracked back home as they leave. 2) second team comes out to drop device and gets hit by two Hellfires. 3) third element goes home because they saw it happen and now have nothing else to do tonight.
Unless it's specifically designed for drone air-to-air operations? Having the most field of view possible could mean the difference between a net getting dropped on you, or you spotting it above yours and moving out of the way.

Hope you're working on your homemade EMP devices.

you really think drone operators will wait for an unidentified drone to position itself above?
