Well until the big boys arrive, cheap commercial drones and cheap bombs to destroy vehicles and make life in trenches very stressful. Shit I'd have a cheap drone just in sight orbiting over their positions autonomously and RTH when the battery ran low. It wouldn't have a bomb, but would have props that made enough noise to get their attention. Any cheap drone would do for the job of making the Russians run or hide in their bunkers day and night. Every now and again drop some bombs or grenades to liven things up and get their attention.

I was thinking that dropping some 2 liter bottles with napalm and a bit of explosives to spread it around might be effective against troops in trenches, A 2 foot long plastic steamer glued to the bottom of the bottle to keep the nose pointed down in flight. Fill it with gasoline and diesel mixed with crushed up Styrofoam dissolved into it, add some sodium or Phosphorus metal flakes to start a fire if the main detonator fails and it just busts on impact.

It would make an impressive sight on impact and should clean out a trench pretty quick! Would weigh about 5 pounds and might be better than a grenade or two, cheaper for sure and cost per corpse is important!

Yep …. Welcome to the bbq.

100 grams of plastic explosives around 3 ozs. Making small 3D printed bombs or making them from plastic or aluminum pipe ain't hard and and I'll bet there are Ukrainian videos that explain how to do it and how to drop it from a drone. However I'll bet amateur hour is over for that shit in ukraine, now that they are better mobilized and organized, if you want to do that stuff and are experienced, then you and your drone can join up with the volunteer organization that uses small drones to attack the enemy and they will train you so that you don't kill yourself doing it.

Most drones and model RC planes can carry this much plastic explosive

This can be scaled up to any size you want, while being 3D printed. You would not want a killer drone, something like this, chasing your ass around a trench with a 100 gram present for you. A couple of canards on the front would give level flight and longer range, it could also be used to kill other drones. Made by an RC amateur and the 3D print files to make your own are online, uses cheap RC plane and drone parts.

Got a weird feeling gaming companies will add new campaigns featuring “ drone drops “ maybe in COD or simulation games.
I've seen game footage passed off as actual night drone attacks, you had to read the description, it was also a little too good to be true, but looked like the real thing.

Welp …. The orcs thought making an obscene “ crop circle ” message would make Ukrainians sad ….… it didn’t end well.

A drone pilot has a God's eye view, Don't piss off God! Tanks hidden in woods are easy to find, just follow the tracks across the fields to where they end and call in the artillery. You notice in the videos from there that the Ukrainians seem to have a lot more respect for Drones than Russians do, they are always looking for cover and now taking them down when they are able too. If you know the altitude and speed of one of those Orlan planes and it's not to high, then you might know how much to lead it by for a little skeet shooting with a rifle. Since they travel at standard altitudes and speeds in a straight line most of the time, ya might have a shot, especially if ya had a chart of plane lengths to lead it by, not much at it's speed and attitude.
