A Ukrainian mobile task force attempted to shoot down a Geranium and was left without a vehicle.

A Ukrainian mobile fire group attempted to intercept a missile flying towards them. UAV "Geranium", but it all ended with the exact opposite result.

The footage shows Ukrainian Armed Forces militants taking aim at an approaching target and beginning to fire. The situation appears to be under control, but only at first glance. Drone abruptly changes trajectory, diving straight into the car.

A bright flash, a shock wave, clouds of smoke – and the car explodes into pieces. Some people are visibly knocked to their feet, so powerful was the explosion.

According to publicly available data, the incident occurred in an area where the Ukrainian Armed Forces actively use mobile teams to intercept attack drones. These teams typically travel along roads, attempting to intercept drone targets near strongholds.

This incident clearly demonstrates the vulnerability of Ukrainian mobile task forces to low-flying, maneuverable drones: too little time to react, too great a risk. Small arms weapon Against such UAVs, luck works. Furthermore, the drone's performance shows that it is capable of locking on to a target even during flight. This means it's quite likely that this UAV was controlled directly by an operator.

This means we can act outside the box, and the developers of our technology are great, we salute them!!!

[tsvetahaki]

Do you consider exchanging Geranium for an empty car to be equivalent?

[Nastia makarova]

This is better than just being shot down.

[tsvetahaki]

The best thing is when a Geranium, comparable in price to a car and having already flown halfway across Ukraine, hits the target. After scaring them to run away from the car as it approaches, the flight continues as planned.

[Nastia makarova]

It's fantastic, more than half of them don't even reach their target.

[sifgame]

It's better when there's no war at all. No MTF means the next geranium has a better chance of getting where it needs to go.

[Siberian]

They write in Telegram that it was not a Geranium, but a Gerbera.

[Piramidon]

The explosion is a bit weak for Geranium. It doesn't look like 50 kg of explosives. Something smaller, like a Lancet, or even a quadcopter, obviously flew in.

[Peter1First]

Why empty? At the very least, it carried ammunition for the gunners, and there was probably a turret (or at least a stand) for a machine gun, some kind of optics with a thermal imager, a searchlight console, or even a laser...

[Nexcom]

Why are those kakels swearing in "Moskal" (c) on the video? It's not consciousness! Let them come up with their own swear words. They invented the language after all.

[Alex_12]

Yes, when it's "tobe..." - they immediately remember everything native and in pure language. At first, "We don't surrender!", and then - "Guys, don't shoot! I surrender!"

Version from the audience: Russian obscenities are beyond the capabilities of de-Sovietization and decommunization, the language is powerless to give birth to anything similar (it’s easier to dig another sea ), the Ukrainian Nazis have not been able to demolish this monument to the former presence of the Outskirts in the Russian Empire, and will not be able to do so.

Something went wrong, the operator worked, the pot heads remained alive.

Our cameraman did a good job. The defenders just ran away when they realized they couldn't get in. They're even yelling in the video: "Tickety-e ...

How can you be so sure about the operator? Rumors have it that our geraniums are equipped with AI that can locate locomotives and military vehicles and attack them independently.

[Word]

I judge by the result, and there is none at all, the enemy is not hit and will transfer to another vehicle.

[Kusja]

I believe the strike was on a special-purpose vehicle, specifically equipped for specific combat missions. It could have been equipped with military equipment. But yes, you could get a Zhiguli 01 or a TsOB-TsOBE.

[Goroches]

The explosion is a bit weak for a geranium, the forelocks are whistling again, maybe some lancet did the trick

[Nexcom]

..maybe they were just moving very far from the car?? no?

[rosomaha]

Well, that's right...geraniums have at least 50 kg (or even more) of warheads, and they have a multi-factorial effect...and here, even the car didn't fly apart too much.

It's not just the power of the warheads (let's assume the shooters in the video were just lucky with that), but the enemy has learned the hard way that hunting Russian drones can be deadly.

[rosomaha]

So they might start doing the same to us... hitting the mobile task force... especially since reservists will be arriving there now... they'll start dying, God forbid... the population will start revolting, and that's exactly what the Europeans need. They might also start targeting the first wave of attacks against the air defense systems and the mobile task force, which will be forced to defend themselves, while the main strike forces slip through the area of ​​responsibility, and then, near the target, do the same thing again—suppress and pin down the air defense systems and the mobile task force, while the strike forces break through.

[Anglorussian]

They will start as soon as they can, not in response.

[Nastia makarova]

Reservists are the same as soldiers in war.

How modestly.
There is a concept called a combined attack.
These could have been loaded specifically for such purposes, with a smaller BZ.

[Sky strike fighter]

Gerbera worked on the car.

A pickup truck belonging to a Ukrainian mobile air defense group fell victim to a Russian direct-controlled kamikaze drone. According to one version, it was a Geran-2; according to another, it was a BM-35 (Italmas) with a smaller warhead.

https://t.me/swodki/543961

The Russian army has acquired a new version of the Geran strike drone, capable of adjusting both its flight path and target in real time.

The UAV operator can now change the target's priority at any time before the final phase of the attack, select an alternative engagement point, or cancel the strike—for example, if civilian infrastructure is detected or the tactical situation changes. Experts note that the drone is capable of autonomously processing data from its onboard sensors, recognizing target types, and providing recommendations to the operator.

Does the Lancet make that distinctive lawnmower sound?

Someone decided that he was a hunter... but the "game" did not agree with this, which it proved, quite successfully!

A Ukrainian mobile fire group attempted to intercept a Geranium drone flying towards them.

Why "Geranium"? Maybe "Gerbera"?

[BAI]

Gerbera is a decoy, a dummy for air defense.

Not really, she can also be a spy.

[Huarabey]

Some people are already loading them. Specifically for hunting these groups, among other things.

[Limrak]

Yeah, yeah... I'm also saying it's a Gerbera because the geranium has a warhead weight of 90 kg and the explosion would have blown everything into dust, including those who ran away... but this explosion was small and tiny, like a Gerbera.

[alexputnik17]

It went beautifully. Nice gift!

Let them come up with their own swear words.

Ours will still be more colorful. They'll only ruin everything. Just five basic words, but what a variety of expressions. And the information gets through in a second.

[Mapping]

They don't seem to want to give up. 🤔🤔🤔This is the third year they've been telling us about the terrible shopping center, but in reality they're lying.

[Cool90]

And they're filming videos of people being beaten by bandits at the Shopping Center at Mosfilm.
Some run, some fight, some are caught, some walk on their own
If they say that 30 percent are fleeing, that doesn't mean there's no one there to fight, it means that 70 percent are resisting.

[NakedMan]

The MTF, on the other hand, are glad they didn't end up on the front lines. We'll see more of these little geraniums, and maybe they'll want to join in.

[Nastia makarova]

Should they raise their hands when they see geraniums? 🤣 They're happy they're not in the trenches.

[Limrak]

What the hell is a Geranium? What are you talking about? A Geranium had a 90 kg warhead and the explosion would have scattered everything and gotten these guys, but the explosion was tiny, like a firecracker—it was a tiny Gerber.

[Volunteer Marek]

Here's one video that makes me smile! The narration was especially heartwarming. They went out to get wool and came back shorn. It's a shame, of course, that they don't have... kids. But never mind, Bandera will come for them too.

[Comrade Beria]

According to one version, it was a Geranium-2, according to another, a BM-35 (Italmas) with a smaller warhead.
A bad start is always a bad start. A more lucrative target could have been hit in this episode. But that's a good thing, too.

On the video at the 4th second.

A more "fat" target could have been hit in this episode. But that's good too.

Ugh, that's a shame. Maybe they figured it out and the twin brother was kicked out?

[former soldier]

These "hunters" may now prefer to hide in the bushes. This tactic will be called "preventing the enemy from detecting you."

[militarist63]

"...It is clear that some people were knocked to their feet, the explosion was so powerful.

What is this?! What kind of situation is this, "knocked to my feet"??!

[Comrade Beria]

Elementary, Watson! The legs were torn off, and then the rest of the body fell on them.

[Ivan Kuzmich]

hi
"knocked to their feet"—I'm no philologist, but there's something off about that phrase. Maybe knocked off their feet?
but the drone attack video is interesting

[air wolf]

Thanks to our engineers, they probably installed a thermal imager and configured it so well that it even targets a machine gun. Bravo 👏

[Maverick1812]

That was a good hit! Let the MOGvtsy walk now. And next time they'll think twice: should I shoot or what?

[Romanenko]

It's great that Geraniums now bite hard! They're getting smarter and more capable! Keep it up!

[uncle Vlad]

It's for Ukrainians a strong psychological moment. Perhaps one Geranium was allocated for such an operation and therefore was in control and was heading to the place where Ukrainians love to sit. Now Ukrainians They'll think about it, but it's worth pulling the trigger.

[Victor Gubankov]

So the geranium didn't reach its target. I don't think the MTF is a worthy target. So, they accomplished their mission.

[the same doctor]

The Nazis had orders to pursue and destroy anyone who attempted to fire on enemy columns. As a result, the first few months of travel were largely unscathed.
.
Why don't we also refine the geranium software so that when it detects fire from Earth, it deploys and destroys the threat? It already has all the necessary technical equipment; we just need to invest in programmers, limited to "pencils and paper."
.
There are also other ideas, in particular, increasing the guidance accuracy to decimeters.
