RUNAWAY \o/ RUNAWAY
Refineries are fair targets. Won’t change the war at this point (it’s lost), but if it makes the Neocons feel better, than why not.
Don’t give the greenies over here ideas.
what’s the range of these things? the Ukes should seed a few to Moscow...
From looking at the pic, the drone appears to be a Bayraktar TB2 drone. Here's a link to the drone specs: The Bayraktar TB2
From the link:
1. Fully Automatic Navigation and Route Tracking Feature
2. Precise Auto Takeoff and Landing with Built-in Sensor Fusion
3. Fully Automatic Taxi and Parking Feature
4. Semi-Autonomous Flight Modes Support
5. Fault Tolerant and 3 Redundant Sensor Fusion Application
6. Cross Redundant YKI System
7. Unique Redundant Servo Actuator Units
8. Unique Redundant Lithium-Based Battery Units
My take...
Self contained navigation and not susceptible to GPS jamming.
With sensor fusion, the DMPI can be pre-programmed.
With Semi-Autonomous Flight Modes, the drone can be launched "Fire and Forget".
Seems like Russia is unfamiliar with High Value Asset Protection Mission (HVAP).
My guess is that with the ability to take out armor with artillery, Ukraine will now use more of these drones for strikes inside Russia.
Kamikaze?
