1. This is a super interesting thread about the components of a somewhat common jet-powered drone Ukraine’s been using to hit targets in Russia.

2. very professionally made autoclaved carbon shell (using motorcycle racing dzue fasterners and quality rivets

   fuselarge probably made in Europe or Ukraine (by a very experienced composite firm)

   kind of overkill (fibreglass would probably be fine)
