This ones pretty good.
Looks like a go-pro recording at the time of a nearby kabooum.
Green IFF markings seen at end, so Ukrainian guy getting knocked down. The debris in the wave is the cool bit.
Not as good as the slo mo of a guy about to get hit w/ fragments from an artillary strike (last year, forested area cant find it at the moment) but still pretty good.

I dont know anything about the drone, but the wing angle reminds me of one of my fav ww2 fighters, so its got that going for it...

This one is the stuff of nightmares.
I was riveted to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and after watching videos from there, I knew the landscape of modern warfare was rapidly changing.
Ukraine is using "home made" drones to do their attacks (unlike in 2020, then IAI was supplying goodies...) but the end results are similar

Drone chases down two ruskies on a quad bike. ;D
Different type of drone.
(Note the two wires - almost touching.)
As I understand it, when the drone makes contact w/ target -> the two wires then touch, and big bada-boom happens.

Heres another RPG
This time it goes after a russian tank that just fired.
you can see the tank has a welded on "cope cage" that the drone pilot manages to scoot under.
No video of the end result, but its a good vid either way:

Good explanatory video
1st drone - ricochet,
2nd - hit and injured the crew,
3rd - blowed the APC.
How nets are used? - light drones may be stopped.
Why latches aren't closed? - No time to do that.
How many drones needed? - a lot.

Adding this one, as it features everyones favorite Ukrainian drone commander -> "Magyar" Who is a bit of a Ukrainian war nerd celeb.
At first I thought he was just some internet rando, doing his own commentary/replay voiceovers to drone/artillary combat footage, but actually hes part of the Ukrainian military.
Think a poor mans, General Norman Schwarzkopf - doing his version of 1990's press briefing videos, from back in the day :)

Found this to be interesting with springs arrival, and the green color returning to the landscape.
More drone drops, but notice the green canvas covering the russian trenches.
While "better than nothing" they still stick out like a sore thumb.
Also, night time thermal imaging I'd suspect would show their position pretty quickly as well?
Not seen in this video, but Ukraine has also added a Molotov/fire grenade - made out of plastic bottled water containers - which does a number on these trench coverings...
