Isn’t that just a missile? Is the difference that it doesn’t need a launcher?
I’d say the difference is that this one is remote controllable, a missile may fly autonomously?
Yeah that’s a cruise missile I thought?
I think the difference between this and a regular cruise missile is that this has manual control and can be more than just a explosive payload delivery system. A cruise missile usually has an assigned target that when fired it will fly to and hit, this can do more complex things like reconissaince.
i guess this one can chase you if it sees you running
I hope these drones fill the skies in Moscow soon.
I believe that’s called a cruise missile
How many cruise missiles are flown with joysticks by humans? :)
Only if it’s meant for a single one-way flight that ends with a big kaboom. Presumably since they’re calling it a drone it’s meant to fly somewhere, do something (deliver ordnance or just surveil an area) and come back for refueling, repairs, and redeployment.
Isn’t this the drone in the pics? https://www.ukrspecexport.com/uploads/redactor/6%20USE_UMEX_Topaz_PRINT.pdf
As far as I can tell, yes.
Isn’t that just a maneuverable cruising missile?
With all the confusion I think it’s time to bring back the term UAV
We sent them all through the Stargate, there aren’t any more.
The fake progressive neocons of lemmy should get a hard on at this. enjoy the proxy war
Sir if you don’t support defending Ukraine from fascist right-wing states like Russia then are you even left?
