    Someone apparently downed a Russian transport plane a few days ago with an FPV drone, and the same happened earlier with a helicopter.

    Those housewives make some pretty deadly stuff, and far better value than what Rheinmetall makes.

      Which is precisely why the Rheinmetall CEO made this statement. Nobody would buy their 70000€ drones if you can get the same job done for 1000€.

      We don’t know what downed that transport plane, the fpv thing was a meme someone made (you can check the source yourself and see the gemini logo in the corner)

      edit: the helicopter part is real though, same unit that downed one mi-8 i believe last year, insane return on investment there
