Gotta love the long-range fires!

Yep. They've hit airbases all over Russia and vital components manufacturers.

It's only the beginning.

Looks like the 200,000 new Russian recruits will have to walk to the front...

I'd prefer them march on the palace where Putin is cowering and deliver him to the Hague.

Yeh my memory is foggy but the Ukrainians called the Iranian drones vespas or lawnmowers or something along those lines due to the small motor sound.

Definitely an eeriness to the buzz.

Possibly a Trembita, then. Probably using a valveless design rather than the fragile valve system on the original V1. Even cheaper than the already cheap and simple Schmidt-Argus valved pulsejet.

Asked if he is a Ukrainian Q, the gadget master from the James Bond films, [Kleymenov] replies: “Probably, yes.”

Ukraine's post-war arms manufacturing is going to be next level.
