    Vid says altitude is 75m, that isn’t THAT high. How do they not hear these drones? Is the sound really dissipating that much? Are their ears just deaf from gun fire and artillery?

    Either way, Slava Ukraini !!!

      I was with some friends who were flying a small hobby drone (the drone in the video is clearly larger than what I’m talking about in this story, however). Was having troubles seeing and hearing it after it got 50ish meters up. And that was on a quiet day. These guys are right next to a running diesel engine at night. I suspect they had no clue it was there before the first round exploded.

        Hmmm I suppose that makes sense. I mean, I obviously can’t argue given the many videos out there. I guess I’m just surprised. Those things aren’t quiet, and as you said the ones being used are much bigger than your friends.

        I wonder if it’s a factor of being up in free open air, as opposed to being say, 50-75m away a few feet off the ground so the ground can help reflect the sound a bit more.

        Well, like I Said, glad it’s working either way :)
