Russia says DIY drones that attacked its base in Syria came from a rebel village - The Washington Post
Prepariamoci a vedere questi arnesi anche fuori da teatri bellici. <https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/russia-says-diy-drones-that-attacked-it...> [...] The fixed-wing drone resembled an oversize toy aircraft and appeared to have been cheaply assembled from a type of plywood, said Aaron Stein of the Washington-based Atlantic Council. The craft was attached to the kind of engines used to power lawn mowers and strapped with at least nine small rockets that could have been dropped from the drone or used to turn the craft into a bomb. It was unclear from the photographs how the drones were guided, but simple GPS devices could conceivably have been programmed to fly the planes over a long distance to reach the air base, using GPS coordinates available on the Internet, Stein said. “The drones look to me like a DIY project, and decidedly low-tech,” he said. The drones nonetheless represent the first time such a weapon has been used in Syria in this way. [...]
The Defense Ministry posted photographs of one of the drones on its Facebook page, showing what looked like a homemade model aircraft that did not seem particularly sophisticated. sono questi https://www.facebook.com/mod.mil.rus/posts/2031218563787556 On 11/01/2018 08:39, Alberto Cammozzo wrote:
