Is it specifically made to look like an Xwing with that nose cone?

I read recently that the Reinmetal CEO dissed Ukrainian drones as “made by housewives” and not anything close to being as effective at what they make. I had to laugh because that’s like dying words from a bloated defense corp. The world has changed and Ukraine is leading the way when a $500 drone takes out a multi-million dollar tank. Rhinel’s cost would have been huge multiples of that.

The fact that drones now have ecm, and interceptor drones have eccm, means we’re coming full circle.
We’re going from cheap and easy to produce, back to feature rich and expensive
Not a knock on anyone, just funny how the evolution becomes a circle out of necessity

I’m interested to see if we can basically circle back to something like the Spitfire but unmanned. Reusable with standard ordinance etc already in the logistics chain would be wild.

Looks like Ukraine is holding a royal flush in cards these days.
