>The Federal Ministry of Economics (@BMWK) has granted Donaustahl GmbH – under strict conditions – approval to manufacture and export the Adaptive Loitering Munition Platform (ALMP) “MAUS” as well as the quick-release and ignition systems for PG7(S) warheads in accordance with Section 2-3 of the KrWaffKontrG. The first purchaser of the systems will be the FPV elite unit “KRAKEN” of @DI_Ukraine.
>The “MAUS” platform and its applications will be subjected to a comprehensive evaluation by this, as the first western system of this class, in order to prove their operational capability and effectiveness.
Donaustahl as name is such a comically obvious play on Rheinmetall
Very clever German engineering. Hope they are well protected in their plant from hackers as no doubt Vlad and co will be interested to copy these developments for themselves. Again more Vorsprung durch more Technik 😀
Never knew we produced fpv drones
u/NeilDeWheel Look, even Germany now produce FPV “slaughterbots”.

The MAUS can also carry tandem warheads from german [Panzerfaust-3 RPGs](https://ipmsdeutschland.de/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Panzerfaust-3-4.jpg), which are already in use in Ukraine. Tandem shaped charges can not be stopped by ERA.
Had a short heart attack while reading ‚maus‘..
