Is it issues detecting and tracking? Seems like radar guided gun systems should shred shaheeds but perhaps I'm missing something.

I can see the difficulties tracking quad copter / fpv drones... anyone have insight?

Ukraine has been doing very well with audio based detection to give advanced warning and using man portable weapons to shoot down drones.

I wonder what would be required to detect the smaller targets at further ranges. Audio networks with large distribution might work...

    We've come full circle

    Used in early WW2 to listen for planes, pre radar

    Different but the greeks when besieged were known to drive stakes of brass with a thing brass plate above ground attatched to it at intervals, then they could see the vibrations from anyone tunneling under, what do they call it, sapping, they dig under, then burn the supports and collapse a section of wall to breach the city.

    One incident the greeks made a chemical weapon out of chicken feathers and chicken shit and charcoal and lit it and threw it down there after they counter tunneled into them after seeing their vibrations.
