minus-squareDoesnotexist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoWhy don’t they put guns on the drone?
minus-squareLaFinlandia@sopuli.xyzOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 months agoThey’ve equipped Queen Hornets with AK-74s, but I’ve never seen anyone killed by them. They mainly seem to be used for psychological warfare and suppressive fire. Shotgun drones are more common, but they’re used to shoot down Russian drones.
