A new era has arrived, where for the first time there has been a 'dogfight' aka close air combat drone versus drone. Despite being a one-sided claim, a short video posted on Twitter by Ukrainian broadcaster and activist Serhiy Prytula shows an aerial duel between Russian and Ukrainian drones, both of which are said to involve a DJI Mavic quadcopter drone.

Quoted from Forbes.com (13/10/2022), Prytula, who is heavily involved in raising funds to supply Ukrainian troops with drones, said that the Russian DJI Mavic was destroyed in the battle, where two propellers on the drone were unarmed. it clashed with Ukrainian drone rotors.

The aftermath of this unique incident which happened for the first time, has many people praising this as the first known drone vs drone aerial combat in history. And it certainly won't be the last.

Prytula describes drone aerial duels as stylized in World War One, when thin biplanes from both sides bump into each other and pilots armed with pistols and rifles shoot each other.

Drones versus drones in the air is nothing new. Both Ukraine and Russia in this case use thousands of Chinese-made quadcopters (DJI Technology) for reconnaissance, artillery directional and grenade dropping. 

In the incident recorded on video, using the DJI Mavic, which is a drone with a propulsion motor combined with 4 propellers, this tens of millions of drones can fly for 31 minutes at speeds of up to 70 km per hour.

Samuel Bendett, an observer in the Russian defense field, noted that this may not be the first drone versus drone, noting an article in Ria Novosti that said, “There are also known cases of aerial ramming, a tactic sometimes used to bring down enemy quadrocopters. ”

The article, which describes the training of Russian-backed DNR forces on the use of commercial drones for military purposes, goes on to say, “Drone operators have not been taught aerial ramming techniques due to a shortage of drones for training. And it's not very effective." Bendett emphasized the word 'not yet' – indicating that air-to-air drone combat would soon be taught if this had not happened.
