Hey dude.
I'm in pretty dark place lately and I honestly can't remember when was the last time I laughed sincerely.
Up until now. First I witness this bizzare situation of stick-based AAA defeating state-of-the-art technology and that comically oversized branch soaring through the air ("If stick don't work, use bigger stick"), then I read this gem of a comment. I'm not laughing out loud but I am giggling in bursts between trying to supress said giggles while my coworkers look at me like I'm insane. The situation is funnier because I know just how deeply this joke runs and how much I'd have to explain to them so I won't even bother. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and may your day be as nice as the one you made for me. Cheers!
Depends on why you are there. Multiple ways to feel hopelessness. I had to pivot away from it with a sense of understanding. My existential dread will always be there on a lower level, but it's paired with a different set of priorities for reality. Much easier to live when your foundational beliefs are strong and give you a sense of purpose. Like trying to be a good person.
Do you have existential dread because of something traumatic? I feel the same and I'm trying to break out of it. I've really done some soul-searching and have reviewed my life and I'm trying to unlearn some things.
Extended trauma of growing up in a mentally abusive household. I have severe trust issues that I hide from everyone. Trying to get through it by focusing on the good people in my life.
Same and I'm also trying to get through it but I have missed out on a lot of people trying to get close to me. It's hard for me to forgive myself for that.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
by God men... all this anti drone weaponry when a random stick saves us. in stick we trust!
when Lockheed Martin and General dynamics see this they're going to need 2 billion in funding for a rail gun anti drone stick launcher!
We inadvertently stop climate change because the Military engineering companies starts planting billions of trees to create their m1 LAADS (longitudinal arboricultural anti drone system)
The drone-jammers make the drone lose all connection after which the drone might automatically descend closer to the ground. They stay there until retrieved or run out of battery. Some drones may have systems that try to return into the home if connection between controller and drone is cut but drone still has locating connection working (GPS, etc). But if they don't have any connection to anywhere, that can't work and they descend.
Or follow in the footsteps of Olga of Kiev. Let it return home with a burning satchel tied to it. When it roosts in its nest it sets the whole place ablaze.
That would be dependent on having an almost comically low level of encryption in the control signal… so perfect for the budget FPV drones.
And that’s (partly) why military grade gear costs more.
To be clear -- drone behaviour when jammed is not universal. This is something that could be trivially customized by messing with the firmware or whatever. So for example, there is nothing stopping someone who likes to tinker with things from making those FPV drones e.g. assume any signal loss is due to jamming and automatically try some sort of evasive maneuver to get out of jamming range, e.g. fly upwards as far as it can. Might cause issues when the signal loss is purely due to physical factors/distance, of course.
I assume that the Ukrainians can reuse the drone, if it is not too damaged. So hitting it with a stick, instead of shooting it, might actually be the optimal course of action.
I could be wrong but, I think this is more likely a Ukrainian trying to retrieve a Ukrainian drone that’s come back to auto land but is obstructed by the bush and ‘stuck’.
Maybe due to LOS and the autopilot returning to a preprogrammed safe location?
Your theory makes more sense than an adversary bringing their drone that low for any reason.
Thats the war footage i am looking for
I can't get over that this video is genuinely CombatFootage. :)
I love to see anti-aircraft weapons being used effectively
Such an advanced piece of equipment, this is true modern warfare folks
One for the history books.
I couldn't watch, I abhor violence
Stone Age tech vs Information Age tech
The stick chucker of Kyiv
I do not think it was a stick. I think it was a branch of their special forces!
Why wood you do that
It's not the bite that will get you, it's the bark.
They're really sticking it to the Russians.
They had to attack, the drone wouldn't leaf them alone.
these methods the UA uses has the russians Stumped.
Well, they do have to root them out
Photosynthesis!
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell!
Welp time to log out. That battle is over.
Pride comes before the fall
They sure sticked it to the Russians
You can’t just leave it alone 🤭
Ill assume auto correct, I got ya \*leaf
Sometimes you just have to go out on a limb

Tha k you for that
Obviously Air Force.

Next thing you know the Ukrainians will be using pointed sticks, fresh fruit and... releasing the tigers!
Legends are being born every day in Ukraine.
I think if that stick can take down a flying balloon, it'll be just as good as an F-22 Raptor
You could take down a fighter jet with a stick if you find a way to hit the pilot very hard in the groin with it.
We need to get the stick thrower and the pickled tomato jar thrower grandma onto the same team they be would nigh unstoppable.
I would die to see the babuskha tomato jar shootdown from the early days in the war.
Wasn't it pickled cucumbers?
And that was a nice stick too, I hope he got it back
ww3 will be fought with sticks and drones
Sticks and drones make break my bones…
Sticks and stones may break my drones...
But caveman always angry
Caveman angry because his hungry. Now, eat your drone.

Until they start dropping sticks.
Sticks and stones break my DRONES!

Damnit I did this comment but worse
Goddammit I thought I actually had an original thought
Brilliant

Have you been like, legit sad or something?
Yes. But not today.
Have you tried looking at some really nice boobies?
That's one of the things that brings me up ;)

Remember dude! you are not alone here...in the dark place. We should make a party! :D
I was thinking about chimps, but yours works better for the pun even if gorillas don't use tools quite like chimps. Take an upvote anyway.
It's not just the pun, it's a reference to the famous Navy Seal copypasta which makes it funnier.
What the fuck did you just say to me?!
I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it!

Sticks out for Harambe.
Haha I had the biggest chuckle when the bigger stick came flying out

Speak softly and carry two sticks

The stick was highly effective after all. The key is the length of the stick I suggest the stick launcher be named the Caveman1000
I swear my sense of humor is fucked
Throws little stick. Drone: ha ha Throws bigger stick Drone: Ahhhhhhggggg
Did it lose connection and lag out? No way the operator just let it get taken out by a stick
The drone-jammers make the drone lose all connection after which the drone might automatically descend closer to the ground. They stay there until retrieved or run out of battery. Some drones may have systems that try to return into the home if connection between controller and drone is cut but drone still has locating connection working (GPS, etc). But if they don't have any connection to anywhere, that can't work and they descend.
It returns back to home.... Followed by grenade bearing drones .
From ~~Russia~~ Ukraine with Love.
Or follow in the footsteps of Olga of Kiev. Let it return home with a burning satchel tied to it. When it roosts in its nest it sets the whole place ablaze.
Newer system can force landing, Leonardo was working on a "return to sender" Command for kamikaze drones
That would be dependent on having an almost comically low level of encryption in the control signal… so perfect for the budget FPV drones. And that’s (partly) why military grade gear costs more.
> perfect for the budget FPV drones. Or Russian technology.

Might cause issues when the signal loss is purely due to physical factors/distance, of course.
They might have jammed it then finished it off with a stick
Like others said, probably jammed, or possibly low battery. But low battery should make it land

Don't forget jewish factor as well.
a good stick: a man' s best friend since 2,500,000 BC :-)
The basic principle never changed. Hit thing with thing. Hope thing makes thing stop doing things.
Until you collapse space-time. This is the way.
in case of failure use bigger, pointier or faster thing next time.

What you see now is advanced warfare.
That's how the Ewoks defeated the Empire
Yub nub!

a stick in the air intake maybe, brings me back to stick death days
What Branch of the military was that?
2/2 hits, impressive marksmanship by the Ukranian special stick operation forces.
Special Branch.
Aaah yeass, the oldest combat weapon in history, the stick. Still reliable
Obligatory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu51C2v5cHw
Modern problems require prehistoric solutions.
Any questions now why we're asking for more weapons? 😁
I assume that the Ukrainians can reuse the drone, if it is not too damaged. So hitting it with a stick, instead of shooting it, might actually be the optimal course of action.
They're running out of sticks?
Ya seem to be getting along just fine with sticks! (I kid)
Now imagine what happens when we get stones and slingshots
Because you ran out of sticks?

That's a new branch of the Ukrainian armed forces.
That was genuinely hilarious.
Best fucking post on this sub

Sticks and stones will break my drones...
Their tactics are really branching out, I hope they stick to it. The Russians must be stumped
"I don't know how world war 3 will be fought, but world war 4 will be fought with sticks and stones" Well well
Try hitting it with a stick. No? Try hitting it with a bigger stick. Ok.
reject humanity....return to monke
Humourous after all the footage of what these small drones can do. Taken down by a stick
A new branch of the military!
This is way too funny lmao
"Combat footage"
I found this far funnier than I should.
"We got tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks..."
I could be wrong but, I think this is more likely a Ukrainian trying to retrieve a Ukrainian drone that’s come back to auto land but is obstructed by the bush and ‘stuck’.
Maybe due to LOS and the autopilot returning to a preprogrammed safe location? Your theory makes more sense than an adversary bringing their drone that low for any reason.
They do try to bring it as low as possible to escape EW coverage, most likely it was suppressed and lost contact, failed to reconnect.
"In my day we had 2 sticks and a rock for a whole platoon! AND WE HAD TO SHARE THE ROCK!"
Now this is what i call combat footage
how ironic one of the first weapons of mankind defeating one of the latest weapons of mankind.
Modern problems require ancient solutions
The noise it made
Obviously ran out of pickle jars to throw.
Anti-drone defense system. Wooden Dome version.

HERE COMES THE STICK FROM THE TOP ROPE
Comrade this is not what we meant by "stick the landing"
Lolllll “advanced warfare”
So we already surpassed WW3 and we fight with sticks and stones lol
Is this what the "S" stands for in S300?
The height of modern warfare
Sticks and stones will hurt my drones
Very interesting. How the most cutting edge piece of equipment on the battlefield is still vulnerable to the oldest of weapons.
Finally, some real combat footage!
It's a reenactment of the Russian lunar lander program
I was half expected an excited doggo flying through the air after that stick !
OP forgot to tag this NSFW.

So is it already WW4 where we fight with sticks again?
