Redneck Engineering - Ukraine Edition

From Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog: The Flying Yeet of Death

Is it wrong that I laughed at that post title?

I’ve previously covered suicide drones and drones dropping RPGs. Now Ukraine is evidently cutting out the middleman and passing the savings on to Ivan by just strapping RPGs to light drones and guiding them in.

There is nice minute and a half video. Click thru for that and a photo of what we guess these drones are. (No detail was provided by Ukraine aside from the video.)

[This] is a great application of one of Murphy’s Military Laws: “If it’s stupid but it works, it ain’t stupid.” For the Russians, it must be quit embarrassing to get yeeted into the afterlife by Doogie Howser’s science fair project.
