If the flight range is decent that doesn't seem like too bad of an idea tbh. Although you could definitely simplify it to just be like a downward facing shaped charge that pops on to the roof of the tank. Top attack!

How heavy is an RPG 26? Because I'm betting that it is waaaay over that things max payload.

There's a video of it firing while flying in one of the replies to the tweet. So it works. Might have a really short range though.

I just saw that and it was pretty cool.

I just looked it up and they come preloaded at 2.9kg? I dunno if that's correct, but if it is that thing is probably quite capable.

If its the belarus one, it apparently was a subcaliber round, not a full shot

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

That's just a more high-tech version of those grenade drones used by ISIS in the past. They added some fins to a 40mm round and attached it to a standard civilian drone.

I started listening to the fighter pilot podcast, a few eps in and it's pretty fun. Every episode is a guest and they're clearly having fun but not going too crazy.

These drones actually fire out of 40mm grenade launchers and can loiter over an ambush point automagically waiting for meatbags to explode on.
