Some of these Russian fixed-wing drones are effective. Optimizing for cost makes sense. Fixed-wing drones have greater range than quad copters for the same battery size.
They make sense for attacking stationary targets. Ukraine should also invest in medium-range drones armed w/TM-62 mines.
Looks janky as hell. They don't seem to take the explosives out of the metal casing of the mine (Weight savings would improve flight duration etc)- which may point to this being the effort of an individual unit/company that maybe doesn't have the tech personnel that could take these things apart.
Fair point, my thought was that if this were to be produced at larger scale then they'd be looking into optimizing, but I guess if it goes boom (and ideally not in their face) then there's no need lmao
Looks pretty shoddy and make shift compared to the Ukrainian ones….shame it doesn’t blow up in that Russians face like the rubbish shells they are getting g from North Korea ….our country tries and the sane world alliance are so much better than these wankers ! Liberate the Russian people as well

I hope the Russians won't test it before arming the fuse 😈
Good grief, at least it's duct tape today, soon we might see them use rope.
