Those motors are just incredible. That they can haul a drone of this small size while carrying a heavy round t speed without melting is just mad.

Not sure what’s scarier, a the sound of a little terror drone before an explosion. Or the silence, the feeling of security that there’s nothing on a recently cleared path and then seeing my mates vehicle blow up.
Very important russian airfield attacked. The air defence can’t do s#1t about it and all that’s needed are a few missiles from the 90s!
That guy builds drones like no-one else’s business.
I wish Australia and more countries would invest into small businesses that can build these kind of drones.
The cost to to effectiveness ratio of these is just insane. Ukraine has proven the effectiveness of loitering munitions.
Edit: Fixed typo and grammar.
Yup. One issue from long storage is that the fuel in solid fuel rockets can start to separate. Ryan McBeth did an explanation on a possible cause on that AA missile failure.
As you mentioned, some explosives also become unpredictable. The Takata airbags sending shrapnel into drivers faces comes to mind.
I suspect the failure rate goes up. Have you seen the video of the Russian AA missile pretending to be a boomerang 🪃 and flying back to its launch point?
That’s what can happen with old rockets.
Successful denazification and demilitrization
Of Russians.
Not quite the Ukrainians changing focus. Russia launched a big assault on Avdiivka.
A lot of that is equipment that russia sent into the meat grinder.
I buy a lot off eBay. Not that they’re perfect, but at least they’re not owned by Bezoz.
Half Life - Alyx
Fuck AFD. The fucking cunt should be sent to do community service for a good long time.
The symbolism is just fucking evil on Ukrainians since they were invaded by Nazis.
It will deliver death by PowerPoint
Absolutely. In a perfect world, we would supply enough MRAPs, Busmasters and similar vehicles to Ukrainian infantry.
Unfortunately we don’t have enough for our own needs. The Australian military still has G-Wagons. We do have plenty of M113’s and Humvees.
Sure, they’re not as good as the bigger troop transpors, but: what are the alternatives? Usually unarmoured technicals. Realistically speaking, we don’t even have enough of those! I donated to NAFO’s 69th sniffing brigade to buy vehicles.
If I was there, I’d rather sit in a Humvee or M113 than in a technical.
Aw crap. Glad they survived. Also shows the value of actual military vehicles over shitty technicals.
Not sure they would have fared as well in an unarmoured Hilux, Navara or Triton.
Something that surprised me is that there isn’t a better way to collect used cartridges from the machine gun at the top.
A wake up call for us as well.
Unless rates change in 5 days till we exceed 1/4 million fatalities and 5000 artillery pieces.
I hope they can make them in high enough production runs. If so, happy hunting.
Apparently satellite footage shows much more damage on the other side of that crater (behind the photographer).
I hope that’s true.
Looks like we’re going to reach 1/4 million liquidated personnel from the second best army in the world.
Almost 40 artillery units destroyed?! I really hope that russia is going to finally grind itself down with this stupid endeavour.
