At 06:02 AM, a Russian MI-8 helicopter took off, thinking it was safe in the fog. 23 minutes later, military history was rewritten. This is the incredible true story of how three Ukrainian operators, a network of modified smartphones, and garage-built drones achieved the impossible.
In the early hours of a foggy morning in Northeast Ukraine, a squad of assault troops was airborne, flying low to avoid radar. They didn't know that a partisan acoustic network—essentially "Shazam for military aircraft"—was tracking their every rotor beat.
Using nothing but LoRa protocols, 3S LiPo batteries, and open-source ExpressLRS controls, Ukrainian operators had to solve a brutal mathematical equation: how to intercept a target moving at 150 km/h with a drone that tops out at 100 km/h.
Battling freezing temperatures, failing batteries, and Russian electronic warfare systems (Borisoglebsk-2), this video breaks down the engineering, the physics, and the sheer courage behind the first confirmed FPV drone strike on a mid-air helicopter.
