Video records drone 'dogfight' in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/14/2022 - 06:00 in Military, War Zones

A video captured a Ukrainian drone apparently fighting in the sky against a Russian drone, showing what the future of war could be.

On Twitter, the footage, captured by a Ukrainian Mavic drone, shows the encounter with a DJI Mavic drone, allegedly used by the Russian military.

Both countries use drones to observe large areas.

When the Ukrainian Mavic approaches the supposed Russian drone DJI Mavic, the two face each other in a duel, breaking a piece of the Russian Mavic.

The plastic piece can be seen flying through the air, apparently hit by the propellers of the Ukrainian Mavic drone.

Serhiy Prytula, a Ukrainian public figure who helped raise funds for the Ukrainian army since the beginning of the war, posted the video on Twitter saying: "Duel in the style of World War I. The Ukrainian Mavic drone, which we delivered to one of the airborne units in the Donetsk region, destroys the Russian opponent."

Drones have been used in wars and conflicts since the early and mid-2000s, but they have begun to play major roles in recent years with advanced technology.

Images of Ukrainian and Russian drone combat can foreshadow what the future of drone combat will be like.

The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on since February.

Although Ukraine has successfully continued the fight against Russian forces, President Vladimir Putin recently announced a mobilization of Russian reservists to increase forces.

Drones of the Future: The Potential of Delivery Drones

Drones have grown in popularity for both recreational and business applications in recent years. However, today's unmanned aerial systems may eventually pale in comparison to the customised delivery drones designed to convey products right to our doorsteps. Major shops, logistics organisations, and digital startups are currently competing to construct drone delivery networks, which are expected to go into widespread operation this decade.  

Delivery drone capabilities are likely to outperform existing UAS systems in terms of speed, range, autonomy, and sheer volume capacity over time. Drones have the potential to totally transform modern supply chains by combining intelligence and next-generation drone technology, from warehouse departures through last mile arrivals directly at homes or businesses.  

Why Delivery Drones Now?

Several socioeconomic problematic conditions have come together, making it the ideal time for delivery drones to prepare for large-scale introductions across industries.

First of all, global business is more interconnected than ever before, thanks to mature ecommerce systems and rising customer expectations for speedy delivery. However, traditional transportation infrastructure is under strain as a result of continuous peak demand from online shopping and food delivery services. Road congestion grows as fuel and labour expenses continue to rise. 

Simultaneously, drones benefit from developments in autonomous flight, battery density for longer flights, and computer vision systems that enable detailed collaboration. Soon, Cloud-connected drone operations might begin which could substantially decrease ground travel delays while completely bypassing roadway limits.  

Shifting governmental policies can both speed and slow the upward trend. Governments are increasingly aiming to cultivate local technology innovators who can provide secure domestic jobs and technological advantages. However, governments thoroughly prioritise safety and privacy concerns about unmanned aircraft flying in public airspace, particularly at scale.

Major Players Targeting Delivery Drones

Originally recognized for bookselling, Amazon now concentrates R&D efforts on logistical difficulties inherent to all businesses. The company leads delivery drone research through its Prime Air subsidiary, which is already undertaking field experiments. Their drone prototypes use obstacle avoidance techniques and AI to transport tiny payloads autonomously. 

United Parcel Service (UPS): the world's largest courier with over 65,000 global vehicles, sees drones as the next delivery platform. Aside from smaller experimental services in certain regions, they unveiled a fully automated mothership concept that releases and receives thousands of delivery drones throughout metropolitan areas.

JD.com, a Chinese powerhouse, just received approval to operate drone delivery routes that will stop at designated runway-equipped apartment blocks. While the initiative is currently in its early stages and limited in scope, it has the potential to support 80 million shipments handled across the country during peak annual shopping festivals.

Wing Aviation: a subsidiary of DJI's parent company, has formed partnerships with major merchants for unmanned aerial delivery in Australia and select US test locations. They present their custom multicopters as perfect "micro-delivery" vessels, with vertical takeoff and landing from surrounding launching sites.  

Meanwhile, Zipline exclusively supports healthcare logistics, already aggregating over 200,000 commercial trips since it was founded. Their fixed-wing autonomous aircraft, which is currently primarily carrying medical supplies but can transport almost any modest payload, will soon expand beyond Africa and into Asia and America.

Ongoing Challenges Around Scaling Delivery Drones 

While the future potential is remarkable, analysts predict more moderate adoption routes. Before unmanned delivery networks can become widely available, significant technical and regulatory barriers must be removed.

With greater cargo weight, most multicopters still have limited single-trip ranges of around 30 minutes. While sufficient for some short travels in jammed urban areas, upgraded batteries, motors, and even hydrogen cells aim to increase roundtrip ranges to achieve widespread viability across regions as well as farther.  

Sensor Improvements AI-powered situational processing, and aviation computer engineering are all helping to improve the reliability of autonomous navigation in uncertain circumstances. Moving beyond line-of-sight transport is dependent on solution integrity, especially when valuable properties are at stake.

Regulatory uncertainty around larger-capacity drones flying larger routes across most nations complicates logistics planning at present. Aviation authorities rightly prioritize public safety and air traffic management through layers of flying standards, pilot qualifications, platform restrictions, operational area limits, and other measures. The policy generally lags years behind advances in technology.

Furthermore, delivery drone infrastructure demands at the national level remain almost hypothetical until large rollouts begin. Refinements in launch/retrieval ergonomics, charging protocols, weather resilience, theft/vandalism deterrents, and payload integrations will advance gradually from small trials to full-scale optimization.  

Delivery Drones - 2030 and Beyond

Once the key building blocks above develop adequately over the coming several years, we may witness delivery drones unleashed across landscapes in unimagined ways by 2030. In the following section we explore various technological possibility and its alignment with practical business application:

Hyperlocal Distribution Hubs  

Small delivery stations, whether owned by Zepto, Amazon, Uber, can be found in localities around towns and cities, allowing gig delivery drones to complete deliveries quickly. These tiny ports may be installed atop malls, Ring-secured homes, or even autonomous roving ground vehicles that circulate zones on demand.  

After receiving orders, things are chosen and packed from dense shelving into standard container boxes that mount securely under drones with few size or weight restrictions. AI optimization bots enable efficient grouping of several cargoes per vehicle. Template containers make it simple to secure a wide range of items.

Dedicated Air Corridors & Traffic Systems

Rather than dangerous free-for-all skies, city traffic planners define designated aerial routes for unmanned logistics use. Drones are safely guided between distribution hubs and destination locations via streamlined corridors. Flight patterns are intelligently aligned based on building heights, population density contours, noise restrictions, existing airport approaches, and other geo-variables. 

Dedicated city command centres monitor drone congestion and weather in the same manner as highways monitor currently, utilising sensors and visual surveillance. This allows for dynamic rerouting and drone coordination in real-time, ensuring reliable delivery even in unexpected situations. Links to homeland security and traffic administration systems help boost local supervision capabilities. 

Recurring Revenue Unlocks Premium Services 

With ultra-reliable logistical frameworks in place, premium commercial services emerge for those prepared to pay a higher price. Dedicated branded drones equipped with company colours and payloads deliver with higher priority. Local retailers now have guaranteed less-than-one-hour windows, introducing on-demand neighbourhood offerings. Gift-wrapped drone arrivals offer an extra special occasion charm!  

Consumer packages also receive small RFID tags for low-energy passive tracking from facilities through handoff. Recipients track positions in real-time as they approach their doorstep. Transparency and predictability improve end-user experiences significantly.

As we stand on the brink of a transformative era in drone technology, the potential of delivery drones is poised to reshape industries and redefine convenience. With major players like Amazon, UPS, JD.com, Wing Aviation, and Zipline pushing the boundaries, the future promises swift and efficient aerial deliveries.

When selecting a drone battery, keep the following things in mind:

Voltage: Volts (V) are used to rate drone batteries. The battery's voltage must satisfy the voltage specifications of the drone. The drone's electronics could be harmed by using a battery with a greater voltage.

Capacity: Milliampere-hours (mAh) are the unit of measurement for drone battery capacity. The drone's flight time will increase with the mAh rating. You must select a battery that is the proper size and weight for your drone because bigger mAh batteries are also heavier.

Connector type: You must select a battery with the same type of connector as your drone because different drone batteries have different sorts of connectors.

You should also take the battery's brand into account in addition to these variables. Some drone manufacturers employ exclusive batteries that cannot be used with drones from other brands.

It is advised to refer to your drone's documentation or get in touch with the manufacturer if you are unclear about the battery to use for your drone.

Examples of drone batteries that are incompatible with one another include the following:

DJI Mavic Air 2 battery: Only DJI Mavic Air 2 drones are compatible with his batteries.

Parrot Anafi USA battery: Only drones made by Parrot Anafi USA are compatible with this battery.

Skydio 2+ battery: Only drones with Skydio 2+ are compatible with this battery.

Any of these drones could sustain damage or perhaps crash if the incorrect battery is used.

If you are new to drones, it is important to do your research and learn about the different types of drone batteries before you purchase one.
