Ukrainian Drone Carries and Drops Half Dozen 81mm Mortar Bombs

very cool,although a bit hazardous when loading them,he must of pulled the safety pins out before loading them.are they using a fuze that dosent require setback to arm?
 
The Ukrainians have been brilliant with their improvised drone bombers. There are lots of films on You Tube. In one they have made plastic bombs that contain a standard F1 grenade. After the case is fitted around the grenade the pin is pulled. When the grenade hits anything it comes apart and the grenade detonates after 4 seconds. In one case a $4 million dollar T80 is destroyed by a $2 F1. Brilliant! In other cases they have made small plastic bombs which I've seen destroy $2 million rocket launchers.
 
I can't see any useful video when I click on the above link, just a load of pointless social media class 'shorts'?

Here are a few more useful links collected as part of my job.

Modified 53-O-832DU 82 mm HE-frag mortar bombs and UAV rotary dispenser.

Unfuzed (at present) 3O12 82 mm HE-frag mortar bombs. Some of the other drones are armed with M72 series LAW. I've ignored what are likely Bulgarian 120 mm HE-frag mortar bombs.
