Capable of carrying up to six FPV drones beneath its wings, this UAV functions as, essentially, a flying drone aircraft carrier.

    I think they have had these for a while now. The videos of FPV drones taking out long-range artillery make more sense. They likely entered service around Jan or Feb of '24. Ever since then Ukraine has been reporting an increasing destruction of artillery.

    As a kid I imagined a flying aircraft carrier (since the XF-85 failed but navy carriers worked). Then I got enough engineering knowledge to realize why it wasn’t a good idea. Now Ukraine proves me wrong again because my imagination wasn’t right.

    Life is fun sometimes.
