Re:US Army will buy enhanced variant of the Skydio X2 drone by nozzlegear on Sunday December 17, 2023 @07:49PM (#38678011)
Just yesterday I read an article about how the rebels in Myanmar were using consumer drones and quadcopters very effectively to take control of military outposts from the junta there with minimal casualties on either side. The defenders were locked down taking shelter for over four days while the rebels flew drones in to recon the area and drop explosives until there were just two buildings and a temple left, at which point the defenders surrendered.

The article speculates that the rebels were supplied with the drones through foreign military powers. I’ll see if I can find it.

Here it is: https://www.wsj.com/world/asia/soldiers-surrender-bases-fall...

Thanks, I read it on the Apple News app and didn't realize it was paywalled.
