Unknown Ukrainian jet UAV
The Russians who found this UAV claim that it has a 20 kg warhead, a speed of 200-250 km/h and a range of 500 km. Unfortunately, there is currently no name or real characteristics of this drone
There was a report some time that they use RC plane turbines in their drones. Imagine you're running a small nerdy business for RC plane parts when you suddenly get a big order for turbines from Ukraine.
I think the rc turbine market is larger than it seems, lots of people have rc turbine model planes, and developing (modeling, simulating, casting/milling) custom turbine hardware is very very involved, not really a nerdy family business kind of thing.
