    The future of warfare, again powering our local economy.

    Russia and Ukraine have giant stockpiles of old weapons, and Eastern European allies like Slovakia and Poland are also donating all their old Soviet equipment.

    So this is less of a modern war than you’d see elsewhere. But still drones are highly important.

    Was talking to one of my neighbors yesterday that owns a machine shop in town that makes custom parts for military/defense. He told me about this and they are making parts for them.

    “suicide drone” sounds like a modern buzzword name for “guided missile”.

    A missile goes one way and has nowhere near the navigation capabilities. A drone can fly in assess a situation and then redirect and complete its mission based up data collection. It’s next level effective

    “In military terminology,[1] a missile is a guided airborne ranged weapon capable of self-propelled flight usually by a jet engine or rocket motor. Missiles are thus also called guided missiles or guided rockets (when in rocket form). Missiles have five system components: targeting, guidance system, flight system, engine and warhead.”

    Modern missiles can also redirect after launch.

    Missiles can’t loiter waiting and searching for a target, and come home if they don’t find one.
