Das bekannte An-28-Flugzeug „Shahed Hunter“ wurde so modifiziert, dass es nun auch P-1 „Sun Interceptor“-UAVs starten kann.

It’s incredibly impressive how successfully innovative Ukrainian drone forces and drone technology has gotten is undoubtedly unbelievably valuable. Ukraine is going to be a major player in the international military drone technology and training scene for many years to come.

Pretty cool but I’m not sure what’s the added value to, let’s say a simple machine gun mounted on the plane ? Why not just build low tech WW2 types kind of planes and have them shoot down the Shahed. Not like they’ll be doing any kind of evasive manoeuvers, shooting them down should be pretty straightforward.

Ukrainian here. P1-SUN is actually PISUN which translates from Ukrainian(russian also) as penis. Like PE-N1S basically.

AN 28 is a light transport aircraft. This is getting Sci Fi to reality, looks like Ace combat shit.

On giant ship being some kind of carrier for smaller ones. It’s usually space ship in movies that work like this.

If I was a kid and saw this I’d be thinking dream job for sure. Sitting in a plane, flying a tiny plane remotely to ‚ram‘ other planes…shits dope

Isn’t flying an An-28 out in the open like that *extremely* dangerous (both in terms of MANPADS and drones) or is this is far behind the front lines?
