Are they using turbine engine for RC planes? Look very amateurish.
Russians die all the same. It wasn’t supposed to impress you but to deliver a warhead.
So far Ukrainian drones have impressed me a lot.
The Ukrainian RC community must be having a blast…
Although Im sure they’d rather be making models without warheads.
I don't know what it's "for" but the point of Ukrainian drone technology is to be cheap and plentiful, so it makes a lot of since. An amateur would try to design their own bespoke system that fills their goals perfectly, but in reality they can't manufacture in any sufficient quantities.
All those FPV drones that they are using are not pretty. It's the absolute bare-bones drone that they can get. Their effectiveness has been shown over and over again in videos. It's not about aesthetics, it's about effectiveness.
Have you seen the rest of the stuff they're using? Hobby grade stuff has demonstrated its efficacy.
