Finns and Ukrainians working together to kill Russians warms my heart.
Primarily designed for targeting infantry, the drone’s payload is capable of neutralizing enemy personnel over an area the size of a football field.
That’s a lot of death from above.
Finn here. Its just a drone with a claymore -equivelant explosive strapped to it. Advanced is a bit of a stretch, but hopefully we’ll get some battlefield data and results soon.

Now I’m in the Finnish reserves, and I’m starting to feel like those old officers in WWI must have felt like, watching new tech completely transform the battlefield.
Let’s just say I used to be very comfortable with my war time posting. Now less so, perhaps, even when these are on our side.
Fuck Russia.
I hope these do well, but two things come to mind whenever I see drone tech advancement, 1) the chinese will get a hold of it, reverse engineer it by noon, and start printing out the motherboards and moving parts by teatime 2) advanced combat drones probably still no match for advanced combat nets
Not to discredit their work, but it’s basically a rugged drone with an antipersonnel munition strapped to its belly, most likely already made with Chinese PCBs and motors.
The drone part is something that already existed and I’m sure the Chinese have some kind of antipersonnel airburst munition already as well.
Pandora’s Box on drone warfare was opened a long time before the current invasion, although we haven’t yet seen the bottom of it.
