We sustain attacks no worse than England in the Second World War. Why Ukraine needs more UAV

Thank you for being with us. Many believe that a drone, or "drone," is a new miracle weapon, but for more than a hundred years. The first drones appeared at the end of the First World War, and the mass use of drones began during the Second World War. There is no significant difference between the caliber missile, Shakhad drone, and a managed autopilot for $ 300 by an amateur fashion model. The only difference in size, weight, engine type and the cost of the finished product.

Both the first, the second and the third - the drone, that is, the unmanned aircraft. The first widespread drones for military purposes by the Germans - in Nazi Germany, many "useful" pieces for killing people - from winged and ballistic missiles to gas chambers were invented. On June 13, 1944, the FAU-1 winged rockets were first hit by London, which were then called "snack aircraft".

At the same time, 10 missiles were launched, 5 of which fell after the start, one flew unknown where, 4 missiles reached England, but only one of them fell into London.

The Germans did not lower their hands, and by the end of August they proved the number of launches to hundreds a day, with a hundred rockets half broke through the air defense system, and loudly baked - unlike the same "calibers", German winged missiles carried twice as much explosives, although The accuracy of the hit was three orders of orders worse.

In total, 10,492 rockets were released by the end of the war in England, of which only a third of the British islands, killing 6184 people and injuring 17 981. In London, 23,000 buildings were destroyed in London, and more than 100,000 were damaged. The FAU-1 attacks were also suffered by Portsmouth, Southampton, Manchester and a number of other British cities. The Germans also attacked lacta, Antwerp, Brussels and Paris aircraft.

In total, by the end of the war, the Germans produced about 25,000 FAU-1 missiles, which cost about 100 times cheaper than manned bombers, and in the efficiency of use were at least 20 times more effective weapons. By the end of the war, the Germans produced about 25,000 FAU-1 missiles, which cost about 100 times cheaper than a manned bomber, and the efficiency of use was at least 20 times more effective weapons. However, as always, it is not a state but by citizens.
