is it just me, or do I have a different concept of “minor damage to a Tu-22”?

was it “minor”, b/c the airbags did not employ?

on a more serious note: impressive what those “helicopter” drones can do in terms of “damage” per $$$ spent. Very efficient - I think that those will have a huge impact in future conflicts.

(I probably start a spin-off thread on this b/f the mods come with pitchforks at me… 😉 )
