The Horrifying Sounds Of Incoming Kamikaze Drones
Published 3 years ago
Two separate video clips from the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh region documents the terrifying sound of incoming Israeli-made Azeri Harop loiter munitions.
The footage was recorded by Armenian troops at or near ground zero, and the sound is eerily reminiscent of the legendary WWII German Luftwaffe's Junkers Ju 87 "Stuka" dive bomber on an attack run. The horrifying sound of the incoming kamikaze drone may give the targets time to scramble for cover, but the sound also inflicts mental casualties on the targeted units.
Loiter munitions, often referred to kamikaze drones or suicide drones, are unmanned, sensor-rich aerial munitions that can be used in an autonomous manner in which it loiters on station until it detects preprogrammed target signatures such as enemy radar sites or communications transmissions. It then dives directly onto the target, detonating its payload on impact. The Kamikaze Drone may also be remote controlled by a human pilot from a relatively safe location to destroy various targets of opportunity. The Azerbaijani kamikaze drones are Israeli-made Harop loitering munitions.
