Exploding rebel drone kills Yemen soldiers

This doesnt seem right.. In the first segment the drpne explodes in the air and in the second clip the explosion seems to come from ground level. But its another nail in the coffin for being a hobby drone pilot...

"Shaped Charge" to focus blast and shrapnel downwards towards targets.

Dust and debris coming from below indicates where shrapnel hits ground at an angle and creates dust and particle debris.

That was pretty gnarly!

It doesn't look like a quadcopter style drone but more like a faster winged device which would be very hard to intercept.
Probably packed with nails and other nasty stuff.

Nothing to do with our hobby or profession. Military in various countries have drones for military purposes. It's not like they don't exist until now. Cars and trucks have been used by terrorists. They won't get banned.

that wing is from something a lot larger than any drone used here in the USA. but there might be a couple rc controlled fixed wing airplanes out there.

the military has been using drones to kill the other side for years now, good or bad use, depends on whose side used it.
and just about everything has been, or will be tried to be used as a way to chop off the ranking people on the "other" side.

That was a fixed wing drone with a larger main wing and a smaller front sort of canard wing. It was not a quad copter drone.

I don't think that you could do that with a Mavic!
