With the advent of light weight man portable loitering munitions such as Switchblade grrocopters, if fitted so as to be be able to launch and control these could be a real game changer/ e.g. see ua-cam.com/video/h5TTaNpQuWI/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/tN2HN6ra4nw/v-deo.html For with small standoff weapons one does not need a large platform to launch them but an ultralight gyrocopter/gyroplane can do that instead for a lot less cost as well as a smaller logistics footprint and can exploit their long stand off ranges to be survivable when doing so. One might imagine somewhere in Ukraine there are qualified gyrocopter pilots who can fly such missions if only they had the equipment to employ Switchblades from a gyrocopter so perhaps there is an opportunity to try something like this out and maybe in the process help them defend their country from the Russian attack as well.
Nice. Ship
German. Made. It's. Got. To. Be. Good
