Defense Blog has published evidence that Iraqi security forces are using a counter drone gun to aid in the fight against the so-called Islamic State’s many hobby drones that are either acting as forward observers for the terrorist group or weaponized themselves by dropping grenades upon unsuspecting Iraqi forces from the air. Every month since the attack on Mosul began we’ve seen these drone attacks skyrocket compared to what they were previously.

The Taiwanese company that makes this particular device is called Raysun, and the particular model in use is the MD1 Multicopter Defender. It uses radio control to disrupt a drone’s connection to the user, thus  thinking that the user has commanded a return to the origin and then utilizes that lull to either bring the drone down or to let it fall out of the air. It is equipped with a collapsing M4 stock, a battery pack mounted underneath, a forward grip, sling, picatinny mountedM16 copied carrying handle, and appears to come issued with a thermal scope that shows colors in either Iron Palette, Rain (Rainbow) Palette, Ice (Fire & Ice) Palette (not sure which, FLIR describes this color system, help here?) which shows warm and cold temperature objects as red, yellow, blue, etc… instead of Black and White. Although so far the only examples seen in use in Iraq aren’t mounted with this scope and instead use the iron sights.

This is from an Iraqi describing the system-
