    Necessity is the mother of invention. They now have, let’s call them manually guided munitions, for a fraction of the price of a comparable weapon from the US MIC, in a fraction of the time it would normally take to procure.

    The US actually gave Ukraine switchblade 300s earlier in the war, and Ukraine said “eh” and duct taped RPG warheads to racing drones.

    Then they did some inspired shit like putting remote detonated directed munitions on drones, thermite grenades on drones, a one two combo of a regular frag to make Russians hide in bunkers followed up by a thermobaric grenade, and goddamn tubes with shotgun shells on drones to hunt other drones.
