The clip shows an attack from a “mothership” type drone, widely used by Ukrainian troops. The drone, known as “mothership“, is named this way because it can launch smaller drones for coordinated attacks.
In the video, you can see the “mothership” drone using a small drone to take down a large Russian surveillance drone. The drone positions itself above and behind it, then launches a small quadcopter drone that flies toward the Russian drone and explodes it.
The post, made by security analyst Jimmy Rushton on X (formerly Twitter), has already accumulated over 1.2 million views, in addition to over 12,000 likes and several comments from users praising Ukrainian technology.
“Incredible. Great job. I hope this mastery is being taught to other free nations so we can prepare for our future wars,” one user analyzed. “It takes a drone to kill another drone,” stated another.
