    1. News snippet: General Cherry, one of Ukraine’s largest defense tech companies, has unveiled its first mid-range strike drone, „Khmarynka,“ which it says can carry seven times the payload and has twice the range of standard FPV drones.

      While the company presents the system as an upgrade, the technology itself is not new.

      Multiple analogs are already on the Ukrainian market. They are all lightweight, priced at around $1,000, capable of carrying 5 to 8 kg (11 to 18 lbs) of ammunition over distances of up to 50 km (about 31 miles), and all, Khmarynka included, are undeniably inspired by the infamous Russian „Molniya“ drone.

      considering how effective drones are becoming, I feel like WW3’s going to be… dire.

      I would argue Ukraine either has the greatest army in the world or second greatest army in the world.

      If Ukraine can survive this conflict then they will be the greatest military.

      I saw a video of someone shooting a shotgun out and open cockpit yesterday and it was effective. Makes me think that using small cheap (think ww2) fighters would be very effective against drones, you don’t need multi million £ jets to shoot down slow moving non evading targets.

      Drone warfare will favor countries with an MIC that does proper accounting.  You really have to dial-in your costs now.  When country A and B are manufacturing drones at $1000-2000, inflating yours 5-10x isn’t really so feasible if you give a shit about actually winning.  
       
      Manufacturing capabilities, which has generally dictated the victor, will be tantamount.  You make 1000?  I can make 10,000, sorta thing.  

      Interesting will be when systems become fully autonomous.  From manufacturing to deployment, and that’s the dystopian nightmare we’re going towards.
