00:00:00.000 Here, why don't you show here?
00:00:01.080 This is a Russian drone that you captured in the field.
00:00:05.400 Yeah, yeah.
00:00:06.040 So I used to do little things.
00:00:09.040 I mean, we call them side quests.
00:00:13.780 That's what you used to call secondary objectives, eh?
00:00:16.520 Yeah, yeah. 0.91
00:00:17.280 So if I had the time and I felt spicy, I would go out and I would do what I could to try and lure in a Russian drone. 0.98
00:00:25.400 And it wasn't because I'm stupid or suicidal. 0.86
00:00:27.240 is because uh it's necessary to try and capture them why don't you really briefly tell me the 0.99
00:00:32.340 story of that because it does sound a bit stupid and suicidal not to me that makes sense to me 1.00
00:00:38.940 you're you're nuts you volunteered to go fight the russian army you're you're obviously crazy 1.00
00:00:44.080 yeah but yeah i guess yeah did you want to just take 45 seconds tell us how you capture this 1.00
00:00:52.640 drone yeah so i would i would uh i would run around and i would uh get myself spotted by by
00:00:58.480 a rough in like eyes hard drone like a mavic or matrice or or whatever they're using and then
00:01:03.440 they would send in an fpv and then you would have to essentially you know play cat and mouse with
00:01:09.600 the fpb until you can get it to come into strike and you would have to based on the kind of fpb it
00:01:14.620 is you would have to maneuver yourself uh countering the munition type it had so if it's like a dropper
00:01:20.620 you don't let it get above you you want it to try and come down so you have to go underneath uh
00:01:24.700 cover so it makes it lower itself and you want to try and get it snagged and uh some kind of
00:01:30.220 uh obstacle like uh wires or if you can get it snagged in trees like trees is what i usually use
00:01:35.820 or bushes you get it to try and chase you where it'd have to come down and get into it the fpbs
00:01:39.900 you want to you don't want to get too close but you want them to come in because they like to
00:01:44.460 strike on a 45 or if they get low and then uh anything where you can force it to snag and once
00:01:50.780 the propellers hit something it generally flips and then it goes down and uh so then once it would
00:01:55.980 do that i'd get up to it and uh i had a hook line so i'd either hook my hook line and i'd pull back
00:02:01.740 and i'd disarm i'd pull the battery and then i'd give it five minutes sometimes ten and then i'd
00:02:08.380 go up and i would get a get onto the munition and i'd disarm the munition i'd take the munition put
00:02:13.260 put it in my pocket and I'd take the drone and I'd go running across the field with the drone.
