If the Ukrainians can locate Russian drones using their radio broadcasts, they can send something slower and cheaper than this. Compared to military equipment this little 40+ pound thrust turbo jet is a real deal, with reliable electric starting and electronic control. It could power drone killers to almost any altitude and it can be FPV'd to the target once in sight. It's an example of mass produced off the shelf things that RC hobbyist use every day. This thing is not controlled by FPV but by LOS. It shows what's possible, a couple could power a small cruise missile guided by GPS using a $100 flight control computer that will fly way point missions autonomously at tree top level and hit within 6 feet often closer.

A short video of what amateurs are up to these days with jets bought online for cheap. https://dreamworksrc.com/product/jetcat-p180-nx-39-34lbs-thrust-rc-turbine-engine-with-generator-and-brushless-pump/

Like I've said , the self publisiced use of these missiles is just a nod at NATO and the NO LFY ZONE concept. Like a way to say, you couldn't stop us if we really wanted to hit a target.

But what the pros are saying is that they were not really hypersonic, just run of the mill ballistic weapons. ie, they did not maneuver in flight to evade ground fire.

I saw that video as part of one I posted from Russian sources that included drone footage of the strike by the targeting drone. He is in deep trouble. People are gonna want to kill his ass, best place for him is with a rifle in his hand at the very front, doing very dangerous things. Permeant point man in a squad, until another idiot replaces him, have a target on his uniform, if he decides to turn around, Russian style.

Give him to the unit the mayor's brother commands!

I think the only time he smiles is when he is killing Russians!

Ukrainian TikToker arrested after he posted video of military positions that were later bombed by Russians

A Ukrainian TikToker was arrested after he posted a video of military vehicles that were parked near a shopping mall -- which was later bombed by Russian forces, Insider reports.


The bombing of the mall near Kyiv reportedly killed at least eight people. The day after the bombing, the Security Service of Ukraine posted a video of the man apologizing.

The man identified himself as Artemev Pavel Alexandrevich and said he was a resident of Kyiv. In his apology, he urged people to "not put stuff on TikTok."

According to the Russian news outlet Pravda, Alexandrevich posted the video on February 24, the day of the Russian invasion. It's not known why he posted the video.

After the bombing, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko urged residents not to share footage "of the movement of military equipment, checkpoints, strategic objects."

Crazy. I wonder how he controls that without seeing the plane. It would probably be pretty easy to get out of range.

I wish they had strapped a go pro to that thing.

This is electric, but it gives you an idea! 9,000 Watts! There are 745.7 watts in one HP, how many HP was this little monster chucking out? Some engineers are bored with their jobs!

Fastest FPV in the World. 509kph...316mph (Electric)

Here is the story of an RC legend, an old timer who crossed the Atlantic in and RC plane way back in 2003, it starts with a lot of help and hospitality from Newfoundlanders. It would be much easier to do this today with the electronics and other stuff we have, but building the plane would require much skill. If you tried something like this today they would hang you!

What shocks me about Tam-5 is the small aspect ratio. That cost them some small amount.

i know, but it was too good to not say....
https://www.nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/are-corporations-people
they may be "people" but they have too many rights as it stands now...i have NO faith in any corporation operating in good faith, i expect ALL of them to be crooked profit producing machines willing to grind good people into the dust to achieve their ends...
i fully expect them to take advantage of every loophole, every ambiguity, every oversight they can to maximize their profits, and if that entails destroying the lives of people who try to call them to task, they have the money to do that, and not even notice as they crush their corpse into the ground.
Enough, it's time to stop ALL corporate political donations, time to put an end to lobbyism as it exists now...if they're "people" then they should be held to the same standard people are held to, not the standard the politicians whose campaigns they have funded apply to them, and them alone

Oh no pushback here. Imo corporations as persons does not really assist addressing massive global corruption (cough) should it ever emerge.
