War has always been a numbers game, it's just that now the numbers got bigger: airframes having to be made in their millions as against hundreds or thousands.
Thus Ukrainian company Frontline that manufactures the bomber seen in the inset has teamed up with German aerial-survey company Quantum to make guided missiles fitted with turbojets pioneered by another German company; from when they were only of interest to RC nerds.
Technically speaking it's the first time Germany is making a missile of the sort since the V1s it dropped on London by making them run out of fuel when they got there.
The 'Mosquito Squadron' I mentioned yesterday was about wooden WW2 bombers (among the fastest at that time) intercepting such weapons; wind the time machine on eighty years and bombers look more like the one up there ~ so too the missiles ~ whilst it'll be drones doing the intercepting too.
As they say in Disneyland, it's a small small small small world.
