I’m m curious as to how that cardboard drone could cause significant damage. What are the munitions involved? Fire starter? Pin point targeting?

The Ukrainians are inventive and highly motivated and like to adapt foreign weapons and technology to suit their own needs and local battlefield conditions. In a number of cases, they have developed new capabilities that NATO and US advisers did not think possible.

Sorry, but I’m not buying any of the propoganda from either the Maloross or the Moskals.

Drones have proven to be extremely effective in this war. How many drones can you build for the price of one fighter and its pilot? The Pentagon should be paying close attention.
My other observation is that armor hasn’t yet proven itself effective in this war. Armored vehicles have just been big targets. Ground forces may need a change in tactics.

In a development that can’t be independently confirmed – yet neverthelessUntil it is independently confirmed it is just propaganda - just like what our government spews everyday and the government stenographers report, err, regurgitates everyday.

The airframe is nothing spectacular, but the control systems are. That thing is at best only marginally stable, so the controls have to manage that, in addition to navigating. But once you have the chips and the software licked, the thing is infinitely scaleable. The only battlefield limit I can see is how many you can launch before the enemy's artillery finds you. As a weapon for infiltrators it's golden, as the Ukrainians seem to be demonstrating. Not enough warhead to be effective against serious armor, but no thin-skinned vehicle will be safe. Especially parked aircraft.

This reminds me of the Soviet "killer satellites" that were in the news in the late seventies. They were just fragmentation charges maneuvered close to a satellite and detonated.
I want to see the damaged aircraft. It sounds like a scam-gimmick to me.
