The forces of unmanned systems destroy priority targets on a daily basis

There is a real hunt for gas storage and EW stations, because these objects are critically important for the enemy.

Thanks to deep knowledge of the enemy's equipment, high professionalism of the operators and modern means, the soldiers of the Flying Skull battalion do not leave the invaders a single chance.

That looks even trickier than hitting a target with a quadcopter since this drone doesn’t hover

basically since around the 1960s bombers dont need to "drop" bombs anymore. They only designate the target and the FCS drops the bombs.

I'd assume it's highly automated. Basically you just designate the target and it will release the bombs at the right moment.

Have you ever seen these insane little asshats on the online games that are able to drop Boms through windows in battlefield. A skilled pilot can do stuff we mere mortals can't even dream of. And maybe they use an aimbot too.

Get fucked Putin. Even if it's one tiny bomb at a time.

80s air defense keeping the big planes out.. so we get smaller planes to do it.

This makes me wonder where the sweetspot is in terms of size.. what can you get away with, without it being shot down by strela or toe.. but has the biggest carrying capacity.

Although these small ones can fit in an SUV easy.
