204 km/h at 48% Throttle… The crowdfunded Ukrainian-made Wild Hornets FPV STING air-defense drone is likely the world’s fastest combat drone

  2. It would be nice if we could stick one of these up Putin’s ass!

  3. It feels a bit like the wild days of aircraft development in the 1930s, where everything goes and a few guys in a workshed could shoot for the moon.

  4. Attach guided rockets and reuse the drone a bunch of times.

  5. Not sure what you mean by ‘combat drone’ exactly, because there are operational combat drones e.g. the Boeing MQ-25 Stingray that can fly at 900+ km/h. The workhorse MQ-9 has a top speed approx 480 km/h. If we’re talking about it has to be using rotors then maybe the Wild Hornet is fastest in that class and likely is highly energy efficient compared with the drones I mentioned.

  6. By this time next year, we might see drones capable of breaking the sound barrier

  9. I am an armchair cryptographer…that filter they seem to be putting over the digits seems to only have a handful of states. I think it wouldn’t actually be hard to determine what the numbers are. If that is actually secret information, don’t screw around with some blur filter that can be reversed.
