Despite the not so exciting intro There's more and the article goes into a novel round wing design, thats very interesting. >According to Roy, wings significantly increase the drone’s range. The aerodynamic lift, provided by them, allows the drone to expend less energy to stay airborne, enabling strikes deep behind Russian lines.

If Ukraine had as many long-range weapons as Russia, it would have been fighting for Siberia long ago. Glory to Ukraine!

I'm surprised it took them this long, stub wings have been around in helicopters for decades
