Quick clarification/correction: when I'm referring to Javelin missiles, I'm referring to the British-Made surface-to-air missiles that are used with MANPADS (man-portable air defense systems). Rather than the better known American-made FGM-148 Javelin missiles which are anti-tank missiles, also frequently used in Ukraine but not on drones. I incorrectly use footage of FGM-148 missiles and their launchers @25:23, which is confusing. Other surface-to-air missiles systems are used in Ukraine, like the stinger (which is relatively cheap) and the S300 (which are not cheap). But neither are as cheap as the Shahed-136.

Thank you British man for reminding me of all the horrors of life once again

I really appreciate the Monty Python level of humor in these videos.

"...sitting in an Nevada-based shipping container and using a joystick to flash-fry a Pakistani wedding." Jesus fucking Christ, that phrasing is so morbid it's actually delicious.

Real talk, This channels growth in quality and content has to be acknowledged. Ordinary Things is genuinely top shelf content. The edit is lovely and all but the quality of writing and topics is really well crafted and I (as I'm sure others) always look forward to every upload. ✌🏼

Honestly I've always found the market and entire industry behind warfare to be fascinating in how detached it is, and how macabre the thoughts going into design. Thinking of ever looking into it further, OT?

Shocking video to say the least. But then again I'm probably in favor of drone warfare because that Bayraktar song is super catchy.

British humour is the best way to soften the blow of the horrors we've brought upon ourselves.

I ordered your comic to help support you because your content is some of the best ever released on Youtube. Thanks for taking the time to make such high quality videos.

lmao the ending footage of one drone just smashing itself into another is beautifully ironic! no matter how much war changes, it still boils down to one beast trying to prove itself stronger than another by any means necessary.

It's honestly surprising it took this long for consumer drones to be used in warfare. I feel like that writing has been on the wall for many years.

You do a great job bringing up wider scathing points rather than finger wagging at singular instances. Well done!

Tiny AI powered drones that can recognize faces and deliver a small but deadly payload are one of my biggest most realistic fears for the future of this technology.

As a ace combat fan, calling drones a "crime against the sky" is 100% right

thank you for covering about the Armenian war, it seems like no one cares about it but i lost two of my good friends to a drone strike and it’s been horrible. thank you.

There's something darkly humorous about the first recorded drone on drone combat being two three hundred dollar toys clumsily bumping into each other. Then again, the first combat between tanks and iron clad battleships were similarly farcical. If that's anything to go by, things are only gonna get scarier from here

This is legit a great analysis of modern war. Feel like old media don't have the understanding of the internet to explain how important it is

I genuinely think you will be an A-List celebrity someday. This is top-shelf, very reminiscent of John Oliver, except with better writing than an entire staff. Truly remarkable.

"Don't let the bastards grind you down." at the end was honestly exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you and keep your head up everyone.

I’m ready to have my month made by another Ordinary Things upload
