That "Trembita" cruise missile is something my late father the "Widget" would have liked.

Its stealth features are deliberately bad so it is a easy target for radar and heat seeking weapons.

It is potentially cheap enough it can be built in large numbers, its performance is good enough it is operationally and tactically useful.

A simple, reliable engine giving decent subsonic/transonic performance, remote aircraft parts, modern GPS and Ukrainian experience in targeting mean it has a high chance of getting a hit and wrecking something important unless countered.

It is a easy target for weapons that cost more than it will, even if most of a salvo is shot down, there is a good chance its will be worth it.

I like it. 👍
