excellent details

Thanks very much for this post. I've been super impressed and fascinated by all the work you've done since I saw you posting in the pics and vids thread and I'm glad to see that there's some real positive action coming out of it with the international law stuff.

Most non commercial drones use props of fairly flexible plastic. Probably because people will run them into each other, but those eagle should be safe.

And now for something completely different
Today in corny recruitment videos, the new Finnish Rapid Deployment Units:

Featuring:
- A second rate Nick Cave impersonator(why?)
- Unidentified combatants who, for some reason, look like Islamic insurgents and ARE TOTALLY NOT RUSSIANS
- Classical music? Explosions!
- Bookended by an ominous as gently caress musical cue

Overall score: 5/10 CGI marines killing a lava monster with a sword. Nothing will ever beat that ad:

I gotta say, that's a very neat looking system. It also looks surprisingly undamaged for something that supposedly took ground fire.

The fuzes still have their rings in place, so they aren't even armed, makes me think it wasn't up in the air in the first place.

We did a detailed piece on these recently, seems a lot of the bombs are based on 40mm grenades

In the videos of the attack drones it looks exactly like a 40mm round falling but I dunno if it's like a belt fed round from a mk19 or just a rifle mounted launcher one. I think the rounds are different but I'm no expert.

Do those even arm without firing? I half-remember something about multiple safeties on the fuzes.

e: it probably helps to read the link first. I assume they're modifying the fuzes somehow, or simply adding their own.

I suppose they could be tinkering with the fuses, because out of the box I thought they had to spin a certain number of times before arming.

Assembly process:

- Hit it with a sledgehammer to simulate launch
- Put it on a drill and spin it the gently caress up
- Now carefully attach the tail assembly and shuttlecock
