BBC News have some new UAS Aerial footage from Ukraine, shot during the recent ceasefire.

Its very very shaky, could be the wind, a camera mount without a gimbal, or maybe its one of the new style, small, 3D Printed Drones, I commented on the other day. The picture quality is good, so i suspect the weather is the cause.
The second link, it to a video i found on Youtube earlier today. It’s old, December 2014, so you may have already seen it, but it shows soldiers, the video indicates they are Russian (also the flag on the car helps!) with what is obviously a DJI Phantom – man, those things are every where!
I have absolutely no idea what the guy is saying, but i wish they didn’t have their masks on. I bet they were grinning ear to ear, the first time they flew the Phantom, arguing about who gets to fly it next – who doesnt?!
It is quiet astounding to me, how wide spread and versatile, the use of UAS has become. And more often than not, its a Phantom, i wonder how many have been manufactured/sold thus far?
I shall find out. Till then.
