Good! Now there’s something that makes these occupiers TREMBLE!
Are they already using it, or is this something in development
Been wondering why they haven’t just been making V1s like this.
It shouldn’t be that hard to build a modernized WW2 cruise missile.
Once the Russians get used to the noise and radar cross-section, obviously, the next best weapon is huge numbers of dirt-cheap ’empty’ versions of these that have no payload, GPS, or anything else and just stay within 100-200m of a low-power IR beacon on the main missile, while constantly dancing position in the assault wave.
Good luck finding the right target.
You can [hydroform](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCsg5pQimWI) (with the notable detail that in air the engine would be cooled by the air stream) the engine for these. Essentially, you take two sheets of metal, weld them around using some math, seal it all around and pump it up with high pressure water and out pops the engine in one simple operation.
The body could be done the same way, wings as well, using forms, you could pop one shell every 20 minutes using a robot, one hour for a person operating a press to cut the shapes out of sheet stock.
At a 20kg warhead, Im curious what these can do / cant do.
It’s important to note that these are relatively very very cheap and would require the occupiers to waste expensive rockets to shoot them down.. Or not, in which case the Trembita hits the target and they’re down another orc general.. Or 20 👍
They dropping on Amazon?
Cruise missiles by definition are one-time use weapons. ~~Scramjet~~ pulsejet engine makes 100% sense. They’re cheap, easy to manufacture and reliable. I think it’s a brilliant solution.
Man, it must be so difficult to fight your enemy when they actually have smart brains. Just go back to Putler…
Other nations: let’s make our cruise missile as silent as possible so it remains unseen.
Ukraine: I want the modern version of JU-87 “Stuka” dive bomber sirens on my cruise missile.
I think the first point has typo because I am sure you don’t want your cruise missile to have a sufficient radar cross-section and heat trace so it can be seen by air defense . . . or you know . . . Is it a reverse psychology Psy-Ops attempt like to give the Russians a false sense of safety?
It’s about to get spicy over there.
I absolutely love that they have just strapped some wings and a bomb to a lawn mower engine, and then made all the bad things about it sound like design features.
Props to the marketing team. Fucking brilliant.
FYI, named after an alpine horn made of wood, common among Ukrainian Hutsuls who live in the Carpathians mountains of western Ukraine, eastern Poland, Slovakia, and northern Romania. Used as a signaling device to announce deaths, funerals, and weddings.
Modern day v-1
Luckily we have the Reddit cruise missile experts stepping up to the plate, explaining how these really work and what they should have been like. I think UA and arms manufacturers should take notice of these experts since they know far better how the war is won /s
Anyone have an audio of how loud this thing is?
They didn’t specify its targeting power, but with a 30m flight altitude it could mimic a fraction of the Storm Shadow effect.

RuZZia *has* air defenses??? /s

I’m sure it’s useful, but I don’t think this counts as a [cruise missile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_missile). A Shahed has a larger warhead…
first combat use when?
