moral of story:
> if they sent $10 million only about $200K ends up with the people who need it, the ukrainan cannon fodder
Rasheed, you know those are Russian corpses right?
uh thats obviously russian propaganda dude
Those are cute.
Any Ukrbros wanna hook a fellow PrepHoleommando up?!
Seriously, I've wanted one of these for years now.
You have to ask a Vatnik for the secret link to the Russian army’s sold off western equipment store.
No photos or proof exist of the product, you’ll pay then wait&see.
Sounds like a party.
That's literally about 30 of those small things, and I'm not even joking. They're laughably overpriced.
>The cost to equip the UK Army with 30 Black Hornets is just shy of £1.4 million (U.S. $1.8 million). That’s about $60,000 apiece for the drone.
>They're laughably overpriced.
I sort of agree, but OTOH the company isn't allowed to sell them to civilians (I've checked) and the military doesn't buy a lot of them. Gotta get back the R&D costs and custom electronics/flight controller/video system R&D in particular.
Plus make an outrageous profit so everyone in the company can buy lake houses and boats.
$60,000 per drone is pretty low compared to the $195,000 the British were spending to buy the things for their own forces previously so they're getting cheaper
Man they really are training them in the UK on Brit tactics of infantry warfare, and even giving them the same equipment lmao. I want to see them on the front so bad, just to see how effective it would be. (Even if it's only artillery warfare as of now).
And if the war stagnates instead, they can literally train the next gen.
That sounds like a fuckload of money until you realize that they have a flight time of ~25 minutes and a range of a couple miles. Commercial drones that size can barely fly for 5 minutes.
Its the range that is the problem, they can't have a powerful transmitter picture send because smol. Meant for providing a platoon immediate situational awareness not reconnoitering at battalion level
I see how they're useful for clearing out dirt huts, but what use do these have in a conventional warfare where your enemy is 15 miles away and artillery is the only efficient weapon?

little droney fella
Cute! CUTE!
But you can't attach a grenade to it! Literally unusable.
>Black Hornet drone
>it's white
Shit like this is not what the ukies need right now. They need:
>another 100 M777 at least
>shitloads of NATO 155mm
>shitloads of Javelins
>shitloads of stingers
>propper AA with trained crews around the big cities. Kyiv must be a no fly zone by now
>Normal not overpriced drones
Stop sending bullshit like this
Us announced like half a million 155+120mm rounds in the next aid package
Each of these tiny things costs $200K a piece.
10million/200K = 50 units
>Some of the bill
Most of the bill
Also, what the fuck is "night fighter"
>In particular, Oslo intends to supply Kyiv with the Nightfighter system, which is manufactured by SteelRock Technologies, a British company.

If only there was some website where you could input a few of those words you have there and have a script comb through the web looking for sites mentioning them, and then providing you with links to those sites.
Yes well done I also searched it but when I did the first time it came up with WW2 planes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_fighter
I tried on google and got it after I made the post. So suck a dick.
Yet another three-band RF jammer just like every other three-band RF jammer but "proprietary" allegedly, big fat hairy deal.
