Capable of carrying up to six FPV drones beneath its wings, this UAV functions as, essentially, a flying drone aircraft carrier.
…did they invent Arsenal Bird?
parasite fighters are so back
I think they have had these for a while now. The videos of FPV drones taking out long-range artillery make more sense. They likely entered service around Jan or Feb of '24. Ever since then Ukraine has been reporting an increasing destruction of artillery.
As a kid I imagined a flying aircraft carrier (since the XF-85 failed but navy carriers worked). Then I got enough engineering knowledge to realize why it wasn’t a good idea. Now Ukraine proves me wrong again because my imagination wasn’t right.
Life is fun sometimes.
See‽‽ It wasn’t an Iranian mother ship. It was a Ukrainian mother ship harassing DC over the last month.

Fuck yeah, can’t be too much longer for the prydwen being built!
Im surprised we have not seen this sooner or submarine uav carriers for that matter.
