Loving these Russian models because as warfare turns towards wholesale adoption of drones, as we're taken back to WW1 except on a tiny and unpiloted scale.
Compare this one for example with Fokker's Eindecker more than a century prior... apparently a 'spotter' familiar to the era judging by the camera out front.
Key to their success ~ albeit at killing people ~ is the fact they are self-confessedly 'cheap' and 'simple', which are words you'll never find used in defence of the UK for instance, where everything has to be 'expensive' and 'complicated' and provided by either BAE Systems or French-owned Thales on a you-scratch-my-back basis.
There are now more admirals apparently in the Royal Navy than fighting ships for them to serve on, which is only fair with Britain being an aristocracy. But when you look at its armed forces you realise the ranks are great at what they do, but rot sets in as you go progressively higher and especially arriving at government: talent and intelligence following the inverse square law.
A friend and Chelsea supporter used to say that Newcastle's problem was that they thought they were a big club, but they weren't (though that was then).
Realistically I think we should admit that the illusion applies nowadays to the UK too and in fact we do not have to look very far for a solution. Ireland is a neutral nation that is on the up, and nor is it a member of NATO. It does maintain a standing force that includes an army, navy and air force; the latter including no fighter jets.
The way combat has changed is wholly down to one thing, which is miniaturisation of processors and associated components ~ including satellites ~ enabling them to be put into motion by artificial intelligence and sensory means like Dr Frankenstein's monster.
And thus when it comes to sustaining life, small is beautiful...
...just as it is when it comes to destroying it too.
