  You are putting a lot of faith in a people that can’t even build a competent tank.

    You do, of course, understand that this has nothing in common with building a tank?

    You do also understand that (just guessing) if you’re from a German instance, then probably everyone of consequence involved in designing military hardware in Russia has better knowledge of their domain area than people analogous to them from German MIC and military? Simply due to experience gained. That does apply to tanks.

    Anyway. I don’t know if it’s real, but you just go and read whose company it is. It might be.

  This is a remote control situation. The bird would do bird things once out of a control signal. They aren’t claiming full override and programming. I could easily see strapping a camera to a pigeon and training it. Maybe even remotely monitoring it and using a pre-trained electrical pulse to change direction.

    yea true, they did mention preloading flight paths, so it might be radio-less (apart from gps ig)
