Why do a lot of these like a miss before they cut the scene? Or do they remote detonate them while going over or just full down the very last moment for a kinetic hit?

These appear to be done by pretty large fixed winged drones in broad daylight…. no tracers visible or anything. I was thinking maybe AI assisted, but the maneuver at 1:06 was the sickest hit on an aircraft I’ve ever seen. it skims the runway, cuts (drifts?!) AROUND the wing, and pulls up into the tailfin with for a literal perfect hit…
I would think only a human pilot could make that type of maneuver… but if it’s AI, then that’s straight up scary. But I can’t believe SBU have been sitting on this footage for so long. This is insane.
edit: I actually think that these might be ai assisted / piloted. it’s either that or that the targeting for each aircraft is locked in for the pilots. the compass on every display seems to have a specific plane marked to hit and even what height to hit it at. there is a pitch reticle with red and yellow markers that they lock in on right before the hit.

Honestly, this is a pretty cool video. For me, the coolest thing is that a lot of of these aircraft seemed like they are getting ready to be launched or are actively being used given so many of them have their canopies open or they have stairs next to them.

Garbage footage. Non show the end result. Why even post this boring trash.

That poor Havoc, such a shame seeing them hunted to extinction

How far do these long range drones fly? The SBU would still have to be pretty deep in Russia to hit bases where so many aircraft are exposed with no anti drone protection

Are these newly published hits are were these already known?

1:07 – interesting to see those drones to have “flying floor”. Drone operator struggling with control because of latency, but drone itself keeps a few meters above the ground.

Big badaboom
Juicy targets
