Why tf would you announce that?

shoutsatclouds.bsky.social•96 days ago

It's called "Virtue Signaling". Very popular in 2024.

Why announce weapons deliveries? They're almost all announced. It's not like the Russians can't figure out what weapons are hitting them. And the announcements do have propaganda value.

So the ruSSians have something to think about. They are being decimated by DJI toys so now they can guess what those things will do to them.

Don't use the word mini Taurus. If it gets popular, people will use it as an excuse not to deliver actual Taurus - trust me, I've sufferd German media since 24.2.22.

This is a Lancet analogue, don't let Scholz wiggle his way out.

This looks like good news.

I read that two weeks ago, still not there?
Not to mention 4000 is enough for a few hours warfare no more

123xyz.bsky.social•95 days ago

They don't need these particular drones for missions that can be completed by cheaper and smaller racing drones.

mariekalevala.bsky.social•95 days ago

Hopefully not because the whole frontline probably eats 10k drones a day minimum

123xyz.bsky.social•95 days ago

Those are on a completely different scale.

Range?

gregoryhuey.bsky.social•96 days ago

About time.

Thank you, Germany.

WTF is up with drones with crossed wings? Wings produce lift close to perpendicular to their long axis. Offsetting lift to the left & right provides no net lift, but producing it increases drag just like producing upward lift does. Wings at 45° off horizontal should roughly double drag/lift, right?

123xyz.bsky.social•95 days ago

Or am I missing something big?

nosce.bsky.social•96 days ago

12 kg, 220 km/h. That is a madness hell drone.
