I hope the news reaches Kremlin in the form of a successful test flight.

These Ukrainians really don't waste time in their weapons development.

""After we successfully test the drone under the influence of EW, we hope to be able to test it in combat use. We promised by the end of this year, we are trying to fulfill this promise," said the spokeswoman of Ukrobornprom."

What is “kamikaze” about this drone? Does it carry a human operator? If not, isn’t “drone” a complete term? The German V-1 was never called kamikaze was it?
