I’m waiting for T-72 user posting same video with a cut before the miss and an explosion noise added at the end.

A drone just needs to know its limitations.

Hard to tell if operator error, malfunction, or just a shitty attempt at a hit-to-kill weapon. Either way, I’m glad they’re still posting their Ls.

That poor harassed Ukrainian drone. I hope it hit something expensive to make up for it

For people that expected an explosion:
Because of Russian bureaucracy, many of the companies that develop/produce those systems are not permitted to use explosives in Russia.
So they have to use kinetic energy: going fast and trying to break/cut/pierce the drone it wants to intercept instead of exploding nearby with a cloud of shrapnel. This makes their failure rate high to the frustration of many Russians on telegram.
This Yolka interceptor can go a little over 200 km/h, but because of the speed and direction of its target(and angle it hit), the relative speed difference was clearly not enough to be effective.

My eyes read “A Russian vodka interceptor”. It appears I was right.

What’s up with that song? I hear it in any other video. Is there a meaning to it? Or do the units just like the song that much?

Weren’t these people at the pinnacle of engineering at one point?
