Drone Wars

Is that a GoPro Black? No its a Bomb!!!

A Few months ago i wrote about how ‘Consumer’ UAVs are helping less well funded armies fight the big boys, in particular how the Ukrainian Army was using DJI Phantoms to help fight ‘Separatists’ in places like Donestsk – Ok lets call it Dronestsk from now on!

Well, as per, there are people with far better journalistic talents, and contacts to get even closer to the action. Well the guys at the Guardian News Paper have actually been out and met the Ukrainians using Crowd-funding and Private Business to help even the odds.

Here is link to their articles and also mine from February
