Jet-powered Ukrainian drones spotted over Russia's Belgorod region
Jet-powered Ukrainian suicide drones have been spotted flying over Russia’s Belgorod region for the first time, as Kyiv ramps up its strikes on Putin’s home turf. Three short clips show black drones with arrow-shaped wings flying fast over the Russian region which sits on the Ukrainian border, accompanied by the sound of a jet engine. It is not clear whether these craft struck anything or were just being tested. If deployed in combat, it is likely the jet drones would be used for strikes deep inside Russia targeting key oil refineries which pay for Putin’s war and weapons factories that supply his troops. Ukraine has used a huge range of drones to attack these sites already, including one last week that seemed to be based on a Cessna or similar light aircraft. Kyiv’s aim is to wear down Russia’s ability to fight while it regenerates its own military after the failed counter-offensive last year that has seen Western assistance dry up.

I bet they are using cheap civil modell tourbines. They cost around 2-5k€.
They carry a small payload thus limiting the damage More important strikes occurred such as the strike on the drone boat warehouse in Odessa evacuation of Kharkiv etc.
Each jet turbine costs around £3,500, add electronics and wiring plus FPV/GPS and youre at around £15,000, drop in your explosives (2 turbines = roughly 44KG thrust - with light airframe and electronics, you can do the math on explosive payload - lets say, a sack of cement worth of explosives) - and for a measly £20,000 a pop you have a miniature eurofighter drone. Average NGI missile cost? $111,000 a go..... so yes, these things are going to be raining downing everywhere in the next 3 months. Mark my words....

The small but significant difference is that one KM costs up to 1 million dollars. A small jet drone like this one here will be around 20k dollars. So instead of sending one, you can send 50. And you dont need hightechfacillities to produce them, hobby rc pilots do this for years at home.

Win-Win Cooperation is the only way to co-exist on this finite planet.
that was a hell of an explosion from that ultralight aircraft . if that was a distillation column in a refinery it would likely be knocked out badly. also the jets are fast but have much less range than the ultralight. jets are fuel hogs . the higher speeds also have higher wind resistance. the power needed is a cube of the increase in speed. so 2 times the speed is 8 times the power needed to fight air drag.
Jetdrones…
Heard they are being used as decoys.
You can get a DECENT hobby RV jet engine for about ten grand, if Ukraine is reopening their old jet factories to make these they likely can get the cost down even further. I was hoping to see something like this soon. Russia really bit off more then they can chew, it's Afghanistan all over again.
