Hunter Killer drone …. OPA !
Take a look at this .
It is suppose to be 50 hp. I just used the example of a leaf blower in that it is a simple engine and not built to aviation standards that US drones are.I heard it was very much like a 50cc mini bike motor.
It’s also not much to grab onto for an IR homer like a Stinger or a K-13 (Russian AIM-9 equivalent). This puts it into an interesting niche of poor detectability.No shots fired. How is it going to stay in position? It will get tossed around by the recoil.

it's not a rotax, it's actually a reversed engineered air cool vw motor, just shrunk down a littleThe Iranian drones use Austrian Rotax boxer engines.
You can see it clearly in the CNN video posted above.
It's probably the most common ultralight aviation engine in the world
they need to have one guy in each squad carrying a 12 gauge with buckshot...would be a lot easy to wing a drone with buckshot than a single projectile.By the time you hear them, they are real close. Small arms fire is tricky trying to hit something moving at that speed. I did hear of them shooting down several with fighters, but they lost two planes doing it. One from the drone blowing up too close to the plane.
50 hp is quite a lot for a vehicle that small...i ride a 245 pound scooter that only produces 13 hp and it cruises at 55 easily, with 50 hp that thing should be able to haul ass, at least compared to ground vehiclesNo shots fired.

the problem is the very short interval between detection and firing window for an observer on the ground.they need to have one guy in each squad carrying a 12 gauge with buckshot...would be a lot easy to wing a drone with buckshot than a single projectile.
that's the companies name that builds themYou can clearly see "ROTAX" on the intake plenum in the CNN video above and a few others showing crash wreckage

This is true, most of the time, but there are apparently situations where they have enough time to try to hit one with a rifle, so it couldn't hurt to have your best skeet shooter carry a shotgun.the problem is the very short interval between detection and firing window for an observer on the ground.
Shotguns have serious range issues. This chart shows how far typical shotloads can be made to go on a rainbow trajectory.This is true, most of the time, but there are apparently situations where they have enough time to try to hit one with a rifle, so it couldn't hurt to have your best skeet shooter carry a shotgun.
Reminds me when I was working in the test lab but with a boss from a different department. One of the guys wanted to know what cops use in their shotguns so I brought a 5 pack of shells in to work. It had the different shot sizes on the back. If I remember correctly they had five pellets that were roughly .32" in diameter. Put the pack in my desk drawer afterwards as I thought it might not be prudent leaving it around. We did have an empty desk policy, I usually took the documents I was working on and stuck them in the drawer before I went home.Shotguns have serious range issues.

For goose loads, 50 yards is extreme range. Below that, you are only wounding them.
At 16kg dry weight, I want one. Wonder if I would have the balls to fly a home built plan though. The $1000 US (plus shipping) is pretty cheap.it's not a rotax, it's actually a reversed engineered air cool vw motor, just shrunk down a little

i have a few customers that use them here, with the exception they actually use a vw reg air cooled motor in the experiemental air craft
this is a long block in vw air cooled arena

subaru uses something similiar
I was watching a bit lately, they put the criminals on the frontline, then the new conscripts with orders to shoot anybody that falls back, then they have the contract soldiers behind those with similar orders... etc...
I’m pretty sure I don’t want a Chinese two-stroke keeping me airborne.Reminds me when I was working in the test lab but with a boss from a different department.

A few days later my boss asks me if I am doing any special tests for the lab. I didn't know what he meant, then he said security found a box of shotgun shells in my desk. At first I was confused, then I realized what they found, I normally think of a box of shells as being 25 (or are they 24, it has been a while). Then I told him about the discussion and forgetting to take the box home with me. He said pick them up at the end of the day. Afterwards what we all thought in the lab was, does this mean security goes through our desks at night?
Yeah, you would need to use 0 or 00 shot. And then, you might just 'wing' the drone and it still keep coming at 150 mph.
