  1. I thought one of the selling points of the kamikaze drones was that you could be BVR or at least out of direct line of sight so you could harass armor. Wouldn’t a wire mean you have to have a direct line of sight to the armor? Like wouldn’t the wire get snagged on trees or other obstacles? At that point why not have a tow or other system that would have a more guaranteed effect?

    Edit: I’m dumb and haven’t had my coffee. Thanks for the replies

  2. Wire-guided? Jesus Christ in no time at all Ukraine’s gonna look like the treeline of a tiny tyke fishing derby what with all the fiber-optics waving in the breeze..

  3. the footage from these being used in Kursk has been the clearest drone footage over the past few years, HD all the way to the second of impact.

  4. The important thing is, free drone!

    Plus of course, knowing what Russia is using. This looks more like the kind of thing you’d use for spying just as much as exploding. Maybe both at once.
