It’s a good thing we made it as little sinister looking as possible.

🚨: Germany’s new fusion reactor might power the entire planet by 2040, and it will soon be connected to the electrical grid.

Another Ukrainian variant of a winged FPP, this time recorded by the Russians on a mission armed with a PG-7 series warhead.
The intention is to dramatically increase the range of a standard FPV, and it is promising to be a very significant development in the small drone war.
Roy🇨🇦@GrandpaRoy2
An elegant Ukrainian “wing-over-copter” FPV design provides additional lift to greatly extend range. It differs significantly from the Russian “KVS’ ring-wing FPV. The wing freely swivels to maintain its optimal angle of attack as the FPV pitches down to increase speed. 1/

@David_Hambling I really would like to know what happened to the AQ-400. On the other hand this looks like the same format, maybe a loitering version.

Looks like a new long-range strike drone for Ukraine from Terminal Autonomy

@Rebel44CZ The radar is spinning though I wonder why they didn't showed us the aftermath. Also the drone has hit the rocket tubes so that likely must caused a cook off (if that Pantsir was real).
English
This "Pantsir" looks like a decoy to me

FPV drone strike is n the Russian Pantsir-S1 air defence system by the 23rd NGU Brigade

@David_Hambling No big explosion makes we wonder, but on the other hand, this BUK looks highly detailed (like the open hatches), maybe they start using non repairable units from their storage bases as decoys.
English
@David_Hambling I wonder if they already working on or even established a new Shahed production line after the original factory was destroyed.

Iranian drone attacks continue. They did not get the memo explaining 100% of their military capability has been destroyed.

@wartranslated @usf_army The BUK is definitely a decoy, at least it looks like they hit it with a cheaper FPV drone.

Ukrainian @usf_army operators bagged four rare Merlin aircraft, a Buk-M1 and a Nebo radar on Friday the 13th. From March 1-13, SBS birds have downed 21 Russian air defense elements. Army-level Merlin-VR recon planes were also taken out near Hulyaipole.

First confirmed footage has emerged of a US LUCAS kamikaze drone (Shahed clone) striking an Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Units target near Mahmur in Iraq's Nineveh province. #Iraq

@bayraktar_1love Bryansk lies over 100 kilometres from the border, impressive that a SHARK UAV was able to fly that far.

⚡️The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has released footage of Storm Shadow strikes on the Kremniy EL plant in Bryansk.

The moment Storm Shadow missiles strike the Kremniy EL plant in Bryansk.

@GrandpaRoy2 That's why they also must develop a ready to use interceptor (copying the Russian "Yolka" concept ?) with automated targeting especially for such lower engagements.
English
The Russians have responded to the success of Ukrainian interceptor drones in downing “Geran-2” (Shahed) UAVs by increasing the number of Shaheds directly controlled by operators in Russia.
They are flown very low, with aggressive maneuvers to greatly complicate interceptions.

Roy🇨🇦@GrandpaRoy2
Some Russian “Geran-2” (Shahed) UAVs are flying lower than ever, controlled by an operator in Russia via a mesh radio network. Flying just over 5-story Khrushchev-era buildings in Mirgorod means that ground defenses won’t shoot at them.

I don’t like to do this, but @TheDeadDistrict has copied my posts before without acknowledgement, and I'm angry now.
Roy🇨🇦@GrandpaRoy2
@TheDeadDistrict @CAT_UXO You have a bad habit of copying my posts, which you have done a number of times now, without acknowledgement. Changing a few words this time doesn’t make it OK. x.com/grandparoy2/st…

@Rebel44CZ Another point would be the reduced wear of the ICE engine, especially when the vehicle move in a more limited vicinity e.g in a base. You could also theoretically develop a "rucksack" style battery pack to increase the range in non combat conditions further.
English
IMO, PHEV powertrains have serious potential for AFVs - and they are quite needed anyway to power all the electronics, sensors, active protection systems, etc. anyway

Bei Boomern trifft die objektive BRD-Realität (niedrigwertige Serienware) auf das subjektive Vorstellung, stets nur teure, hochwertige Dinge gekauft zu haben.
Daraus entstehen häufig utopische Einschätzungen von einem angeblichen Wert ihrer Altlasten.

Mein Vater sagt wir sollen alle Möbel aus seiner Wohnung verkaufen es wären „ungeheure Werte“ (die Möbel sind ca 50 Jahre alt und er ist starker Raucher) auch schwierig zu erklären das alles auf den Sperrmüll muss.

@David_Hambling Five Tor destroyed in one week and the other footage we see should speak itself. And for the possible shrapnel damage: Based on the different HUD, we do not know from which drone type this footage this is, so we can only guess how big the payload was.
English
@GuillimanS Certainly possible, but those things do take damage from shrapnel. Would be interesting to know though. Would you agree that they are failing to handle the threat?
English
Buk and Pantsir air defence systems are hopelessly outmatched by small drones (FP-1 / FP-2 seem to be doing a lot of the work)
Special Kherson Cat 🐈🇺🇦@bayraktar_1love
On the night of February 24, the Unmanned Systems Forces targeted: Uragan MLRS, Buk air defense system, Pantsir air defense system, and Malakhit radar.

CyberBoroshno's satellite imagery shows Flamingo missiles blew a 30x24 meter hole through a Votkinsk plant workshop roof. The blast originated inside, gutting the interior by fire.
WarTranslated@wartranslated
The Votkinsk plant in Udmurtia which makes Iskander, Topol-M and Oreshnik missiles was hit over 1,400 km from the front. Locals say workshops 22 and 36 were damaged.

We are reaching unfathomable levels of stupidity and grifting.

@Kranzschwinger Opel läuft zum Glück einigermaßen und hat vor allem in der Anfangszeit der Übernahme enorm von PSA (Mischplattform ect.) profitiert, Hauptproblem sind vor allem die toten und unprofitablen Marken (Alfa, DS, Lancia, Maserati).
