How can you protect yourself from a drone attack as an individual?
I know there are ways to beat drones using tech but as a foot soldier on the ground, how can you maximise your survivability?
>>6391>but as a foot soldier on the ground, Digging underground shelter for cover. Also placing nets between trees works. Use a shotgun as emergency solution.
you don't. that's the whole point of drones is to attack and terrorize civilians who have no anti-aircraft defense capability and no way to defend themselves. you go outside to get the mail and an RC plane blows you away and hundreds of miles away some pimple-faced teenager sitting in front of a videogame console laughs at you with doritos in his mouth and doesn't even think that it's real. all you can do is live in the sewers at this point.
>>6393Netting is the most effective thing, underground shelter won't help you if they use thermobaric rounds.
>>6391Train your aim. (Refer to video)
they loadin up shotgun shells with nets. Netgun probably the best bet, you only get 1 shot though since reload is not enough time
go into the woods
Do clay pigeon shooting shotguns are a great way to stop drones
>>6391- Corners: Watch your 90 degree corners.
- Cover: The sky is the enemy. The more material between you and the sky, the better.
- Retreat: Do not investigate the dead or search for bodies, lest you be struck in the double tap or triple tap strike.
- Scatter: Crowds are bad. Be spread out.
- Self Control: If you heard it, it was not meant for you. Therefore retreat and don't move. Turn phone to airplane mode to make them think all radios (hence people) are dead.
- Digging: If you try digging people out of the structures, I lack any knowledge on how to do that, but you can and people do. Maybe you will need powered equipment or vehicles in order to do that.
- Hard Kill: Active interception is unlikely and deeply illegal.
- Soft Kill: Radio Jamming of large 20ft aerial drones is not only illegal but also not technically feasible as directional antennas are aimed from the 10KM high drone to the satellite in the sky.
- Synthetic Aperture Radar means you can't hide during the fog or the storms as it can still see the ground.
Did I miss anything?
>>6422This is why people in Ukraine carry buckshot, its either a shotgun or spray and pray with tracers
even the us and other high-tech military nations don't really know how to defend against drone attacks and are actively trying to figure out solutions. it's sort of led to a resurgence of interest in directed energy weapons research, particularly laser and microwave weapons. a very small very fast flying object is practically invulnerable to ballistic weapons, like trying to shoot a bullet with a bullet as the saying goes. hitting it with a laser beam or microwave pulse is a lot more feasible but reflective coatings and shielding could make the drones resistant to those kinds of weapons as well.
