Now these look nasty, the carbon fiber construction is very light and strong. They should be able to hover at night and drop bombs on parked vehicles using GPS and 800 of them donated by Taiwan should cause some pain to the Russians.
AIPEI (Taiwan News) — According to Polish media, 800 Revolver 860 combat drones, which are described as "flying mortars," have been delivered to Ukrainian forces.
Polish technology media outlet WP tech on Aug. 18 reported that 800 Revolver 860 Armed VTOL UAVs have been "donated" to Ukraine's military. The report described the large quadcopter as a "flying mortar" because of the drone's revolving drum-like bomb bay, which can hold eight 60-millimeter (mm) mortar shells.
The UAV weighs 42 kg and is 1.35 m in diameter. When loaded with eight 60 mm mortar rounds, it can fly up to 20 kilometers and stay airborne for 20 to 40 minutes with its four arms and eight propellors.
According to WP tech, the Taiwan-made drone is unique in that its 8-position "drum" can rotate and release each mortar shell one at a time. The manufacturer's website also states that the UAV can be modified to carry 81 mm and 120 mm mortar rounds.
The Polish tech website observed that intermediaries in Poland were likely placing orders for the weapons with the Taiwanese firm and then delivering them to recipients in the Ukrainian military.
CM Media contacted the Keelung-based manufacturer DronesVision for comment on the report. The company stated that given the "complex and changeable international situation," it could only disclose that it had clients in Poland.
However, the manufacturer acknowledged that its products had been delivered for combat in Ukraine and that they "should have already participated in battles."
When asked on Aug. 18 to comment on claims that 800 of its Revolver 860 UAVs had been sent to the Ukrainian army, a representative for DronesVision told Taiwan News that the company only ships to customers in Poland. Due to non-disclosure agreements with its clients, the company was unable to comment on what clients do with the products or where they may be sent.
The spokesperson did say that customers in Poland have purchased the company's full range of UAV products. The representative said that purchases of the drones picked up in Poland in March, shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, and have steadily increased since.
According to the company spokesperson, while direct shipments of its products to Ukraine have been severed due to the war, the number of drones ordered and the number of companies placing orders from Poland have continued to rise over the past five months.

"Ukrainian forces have used Himars rocket systems to halt Russian repairs to a key supply bridge in occupied Kherson as they continue to press on the southern frontline.
Online footage shows a fiery explosion on Antonovsky bridge after at least 15 people were injured as a result of the broad daylight shelling on Monday, Russian news agency TASS said.
"At around 1pm on August 22, in order to disrupt the work to restore the roadway, Ukrainian troops attacked from the American Himars rocket systems at the site of repair work on the Antonovsky Bridge," a local official was quoted as saying.
The bridge has come under fire at least eight times since July 19.
It is the only road crossing that connects the city of Kherson with the wider region on the eastern side of the Dnieper river.
Russian forces have installed a ferry crossing across the river after traffic on the bridge was blocked for repairs on July 27, when shelling damage slashed its 100-ton carrying capacity to five."
Russians 'tortured staff at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant'
Russian forces used torture to force staff at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant to operate the facility, the head of Ukraine's nuclear power industry has told Sky News.
Petro Kotin said: "They captured about 1,100 personnel from the site, and they kept them in their facilities, the captured facilities and police facilities in the (nearby) town of Enerhodar.
"One person was killed, another person was heavily wounded.
"They're trying to push on them to accept the Russian world. All kinds of psychological pushes on them."
Mr Kotin, who used to be the head of the Zaporizhzhia plant itself, hopes independent international inspectors will be able to visit Europe's largest power plant in the next 10 days, amid fears shelling in the area could lead to a nuclear disaster from a radiation leak.
"Everything depends on the weather conditions and the wind. You cannot stop it. Any country which is around Ukraine is under this threat," he said.
"We need to release the plant from any presence of militaries on it.
"If we do that, if we succeed with that, everything will go back to the normal conditions of the Zaporizhzhia power plant and we will be sleeping with the whole world completely safe."

Wow, I saw a new type of drone last night...
Instead of using a large drone to carry gravity munitions, the drone was basically a little torpedo-shaped bomb with four tiny rotors on, drone style...
This way it could use much cheaper gear to carry bombs into war... I think you could load a fucktonne of them into a backpack... they also have a swarm mode...
These tiny little rotored penises fly up from the ground one after the other and head off towards the battlefield...
Someone just has to figure out you need to give them autonomy and put them in a cluster munition type of delivery misile so you can attack from way behind enemy lines.

that would be awesome, just program them to attack anything moving, and make sure you don't have any men in the area till their fuel has run out...fire a missile that has 100 of them as a payload, to the rear area where they're loading trucks, feeding men, and performing triage...as a bonus, you could just walk around and pick up any that didn't get expended this time, and use them again.

Didn't see that coming.
President Erdogan says that Russia is required by international law to leave Crimea and give it back to Ukraine.

this guy...i don't quite get where he is coming from...there is some kind of dynamic at work that isn't public knowledge.
he has impressed me as a very ambitious politician with very little compunction about bribery or coercion to get what he wants, and he expects to be greased to allow business as usual to go on. i think he told putin what he wanted for his cooperation, putin tried to get tough with him, and this is his response.

could be...Turkey has always been one of those country playing both sides of the coin though...just don't know what angle he's playing now...food is on the list for sure, i know they're drones are also in the list cause supposedly Turkey's Drone company moved into Ukraine to help them out with this war......so now the question is, what's erogan's angle...
