Another aspect of the hobby are perfect imitations of historic aircraft that fly, usually made by some old fart in his garage as labor of love. They fly LOS and there are stories of young FPV guys dropping by a club full of old farts and treating them to FPV!I must say, those FPV folks are demoing a game-changer. Our generation’s iteration of this.
My poking into 262 history turned up the HG (acronym: high velocity) III. It looks like a steampunk stealth fighter.
I currently have the privilege of living where there are several of those airframes on static display within a day’s round trip. I will say this combines the SR-71 and the somewhat different A-12.
damn, where did he find TWO tiny pilots?
They make them or 3D print them, the jet engines can put out up to 40 pounds of thrust and ya could make a small cruise missile from a couple. So ya can see why they are restricting things a bit, when someone could order parts and shit online and make a cruise missile in their garage. It might not be as big and fancy as Uncle Sam's, but it will get the job done in most cases and could hit a target with GPS from many miles away at close to tree top level. Shit you can even implement scene imaging and comparing technology for navigation today with little difficulty and the thing could even terrain follow to a degree.
...you can use anything as a segue, can't you? it's like a really annoying super power...

The Finns and Georgians will be kicking them out, maybe that's Vlad's plan to get more mobiks, get them deported back to Russia by stirring up shit in the places they are hiding out. Identify and send back the troublemakers, any Russians protesting or supporting the Russian war effort in the west should be deported back to Russia so they can fight for the motherland.
