All meetings should be like this.
Or it could carry an iron wedge underneath, land in the track, weld the wedge using thermite, and fly away. Then you wait for the train to derail.
Or you can fly multiple drones l, land them on the track, deploy large amounts of c4 or thermite, fly away and then detonate the payload to destroy the track.
Or detonate the payload beneath a train to destroy both the train AND the track
You would need a far larger amount of explosives than a small drone can carry for this. Trains are fucking massive.
True, however I have to assume that fuel tanks tend to be lower on the locomotives (and therefore nearer the tracks), so as long as the explosive is high enough energy to set off the fuel, it’ll do a lot of the work for you. As will momentum, because all the explosive has to do is damage the tracks and jostle the engine, and the length of cars behind will keep on moving, go of the rails, and slam into the fireball.
I was hoping for a drone hut with chicken feet, but this works fine too.
Good ted talk. Sending to Zelensky
This is ludicrous over-engineering.
You land on the train in-motion, then blow it up at a random time along its journey. The range of any train is much further than the range of any drone.
I think the idea is that you ride the track to extend the range of the drone since train tracks are much more efficient than flying in terms of battery usage.
Ahhh, that would be much better. Though a drone wide enough to straddle a Russian rail gauge sounds pretty beefy. I guess it’d already be a serious affair, if it’s carrying enough munitions to delete a train in motion.
I still think it’d be simpler and smarter to plant time-bombs on top of trains and fly back.
