Doesn't seem as scary as the guy operating the WWII era machine gun on the back of a flat bed shooting over traffic behind him...
wabitgirl
Remember friends, when you see tracer rounds, you're seeing one out of every 5 bullets being shot! So take all those lil red lines and multiply it by 5 to get a real idea of how much ordinance is being lobbed into the air :D

Fuck Russia. They have it coming.

So they don’t understand that bullets fired up have to come down somewhere?

Can someone draw very small drone carrying huge .50cal browning machine gun and firing xD
Maraxus
The Ukranean mid-range drones have between 100 and 200 kg payload. A .50cal is about 40 kg tops, thus there is more then enough weight left for some ammo. In theory it would be possible. It's just that a big Warhead causes more destruction against targets that matter.

newest trend: AI drones, as they are immune to jamming ... automatically killing everything in a certain zone ... the whole war starts to turn into a SciFi dystopia

Good. I'm OK with Russians eating shit. They certainly deserve it. Let a monster dictate you and let him attack another peaceful country, you should get the machine gun drones in your fascist cities. It looked like a rock concert to be honest. Metallica might not be in town this time, but metal parts are flying all over the place so it's close enough.
winsomecafatiere
...You do realize that you could swap the word Russia for America and your comment would still hold, right. There are still Russian civilians dude
MyOldUserNameMeantUndeadCocaineButNowItsThis
I agree with you. The USA has done a lot of shity fucking stuff since the days of slavery. Evert singe decade you could find atrocities committed by Americans. The slave era, Jim Crow Era, invading a shit ton of countries in the middle east for no good reason. The list goes on. Even now they seem to be regressing again.

My Reddit account was banned due to pointing out how disgusting ruzzia's culture is. Remember all "russian tech" was created by Ukrainians. Check out "Dedovshchina" for some light reading...

Yeah! And clearly the things hitting the cars were coming DOWN!
Must be Ukrainian heavy machine gun drones doing it.

This kind of visuals always remind me of Carwood Lipton in Band of Brothers:
"For some reason, at that moment in that half-finished foxhole all I could think about was the Fourth of July when I was a kid.
I loved to make my own firecrackers, cherry bombs, ladyfingers. I loved to blow up dirt clods and pop bottles and the like.
Looked forward to it all year long.
What I saw that day was the most awesome and terrifying display of firepower I'd ever seen in my life."

After Pearl Harbor, a bunch of damage originally ascribed to Japanese bombs was discovered to have been caused by falling bullets and shells fired by Americans at the Japanese.

Ukraine is having a good track record with putting target out there for Russia to shoot at and seeing Russia shoot themselves.

Hopefully that is true. Slava ukrani
ButtscratchMcPherson
It isn't.
michBeast
can a drone fire such large projectiles? maybe it was the anti drone rounds that landed in random places? lime the heat seeking stuff they used to comat the drones in the middle of covilian traffic and set their own oil silos on fire even more?
evilspock
Generally no. This is local anti-drone fire coming back down on local civilian targets. Machine gun ammunition is heavy and generally for denial-of-access purposes. Drones that shoot tend to do a shotgun type setup - fewer rounds means the ammo weight is less an issue.
unfortunatelynotdeadyet
Why are the drones on the ground shooting up? It’s almost like the bullet they are holding came from their own anti drone fire. But, I’m sure they wouldn’t blatantly lie to us.
Feralkyn
It's what is suspected to have blown that one refinery that popped its top sky high--anti-air shooting at a drone that dropped low over the target
dripstone
well drones likely don't use tracer rounds; that said what goes up must come down...
DemonicFruitfly
All the stuff the Russians shoot up into the sky is going to come down somewhere. That is a Russian bullet hitting the Russian car. No drone is carrying a heavy machine gun.

DemonicFruitfly
No drone is carrying a 30mm gun. If a 30mm round hit a car in Russia, it came from a Russian gun; and that is not a 30mm bullet in the picture anyway.
lechante
Bad typing missed the AA part.
minipancho94
Plenty are, just the ground based ones. Because as many have pointed out, they're heavy and its a waste of the drone if its lost. Can we mount an HMG on one and make it work? I dont doubt it. But it would more likely act as an airdeployed emplacement if it was, or better yet, used to deploy the aforementioned ground based units. Now having a "sniper" on one is entirely different, and frequently used by the IDF to target Dr's, journalists and children....

Now I wonder how bad a dual heavy MG would fuck the flight profile of a 200kg drone, but the Yackety sax is already playing in my head. Someone get me the Mythbusters!

Saw it. Looked like a simple typo to me. Plus, OP above clearly says "I hope the sarcastic tone holds. Slava Ukraini" below the image. So... yeah.
ayers231
You're ignoring the two question marks after Slava Ukraini. Either this was an attempt at sarcasm that failed due to OP posting multiple typos in the most inconvenient places, or it was attempt to blame Ukraine. At what point do coincidences become intent?
SecretAgentSuperBooger
Actually, when you try to use an emjoi in a post description or title, imgur doesn't know what to do and often translates it into two ??'s. Simple case of Poe's Law.

Yeah, besides they have a bunch of god's people being bussed in on trains to Ukraine right now. They wouldn't create an issue where holy people got hurt thats just wrong. We have to protect.

Right. A heavy machine gun would do very little useful damage and would like shake a drone apart in seconds.
knotydes
Depends. What if the drone was built to carry said heavy machine gun? Be good at shooting people, but not the most effective use of a drone. But, hear me out, put the heavy machine gun on that satyr drone thing.

Ooh fun fact this is one of the things the AA-12 was considered for (twin AA-12s gives quite a lot of anti-infantry firepower in quite a light package, though it was always too bulky and specific for infantry carried use. The drum mags are a boon there too where the drone doesn't carry reloads and you just reload at the operator stockpile while they're a pain carried on infantry).
It was all speculation way before the time of the drones, but an HMG? No way. Never even really considered AFAIK.
stryhf
At first my brain translated AA-12 as the NATO name of the Vympel R-77 air-to-air missile. It took me a second reading to realize you were talking about the Atchisson.

One of my favorite novels, After the Revolution, has a drone that needs to build up speed towards its target and can only fire in small bursts because of the recoil.
