Slightly off topic: there was a thread by a Russian based arfcommer, we were talking about gun laws and gun culture there. Have we heard anything from our guys there? Sure hope they’re hunkering down ok…

We may still have a few thousand FQM-117Bs sitting in warehouses. It's pretty easy to stick a cheap autopilot in it. It will carry between 5 and 10lbs worth of "payload". The likelihood of the rooskies picking that platform up before it slams into their SAM or AAA trucks is zero. |
