The 3,400 km Ukrainian drone run to Omsk had me thinking of Lindbergh with P-38 Lightning. He taught pilots how to run the thing properly: lean the mixture, drop the RPM, don’t flog the engine, find the sweet spot and just let it cruise. 1/2 A small two-stroke isn’t a fuel-sipping miracle. But tune it right, keep the weight down, clean up the airframe, get the prop and cruise speed sitting happy and suddenly that little angry lawnmower apairanty goes a very very long way. Lindbergs legacy through the fire point team and the Unmanned system forces of Ukraine. @DenShtilierman https://x.com/DrnBmbr/status/2074188475838898211
Overnight, Ukrainian attack drones carried out one of the deepest raids of the war, hitting Russia’s Omsk oil refinery over 1,500 miles (2,400 km) behind the frontline.
