Ukraine is not just sitting around waiting for aid to arrive. It is developing its own arms industry that is taking a toll on Russian aggressors.

Warbirds of Ukraine is a company which makes innovative cutting edge drones.

Ukraine puts MacGyver to shame. When they experienced supply chain issues for foreign components for UAVs, they simply started manufacturing their own.

The name Warbirds of Ukraine reminds me of the Romulans in Star Trek. Don't be surprised if they develop cloaking technology for their UAVs.

Most people know that Ukraine sunk the Moskva, flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, with a Ukrainian-made Neptun R-360 missile. It is not the only homegrown ingenuity put to use by Ukraine.

In addition to the UAVs and missiles, here are other examples of Ukrainians developing technology to push back Putin's invaders.

Ukraine is developing what amounts to compact tank drones.

Ukrainian versatile unmanned combat vehicle undergoes frontline testing

Ukraine is manufacturing custom self-propelled howitzers called the 2s22 Bohdana which can fire NATO-standard 155 mm caliber shells. They have a range of 40 km.

Bohdana self-propelled gun is produced in several versions - Militarnyi

Ukraine is doing a lot for its own defense. And NATO countries may be interested in some of these technologies for their own defense needs.

But when you're under attack by a country with 3.5 times your population which holds vast oil reserves and is led by an irrational dictator bent on restoring the hegemony of a defunct empire, you need some outside help to survive.

So if you're in the United States, contact your House member in Washington and demand that aid to Ukraine, which was left out of the measure to keep the government running through mid-November, be approved ASAP.

Rare Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero restored is about to make its first flight

Original Japanese World War II aircraft are very rare and a Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero is about to fly in the US.

In the United States, an extensive restoration project is being completed: at Legend Flyers in Everett, Washington, a Japanese single-engine Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero fighter has been restored so that you can fly again.

The aircraft with construction number 3148 was built in 1942 and flew with the Imperial Japanese Navy. According to the available documents, it was used by the 252th Kokutai and in 1943 suffered massive damage due to bomb shrapnel at the Taroa airfield in the Marshall Islands. The Japanese had no way to fix the Zero in the field, so they just left it off the runway, where it fell apart.

American warbird collector John Sterling found the fighter in 1991 and dispatched it to the United States. He hoped to restore the wreckage so that he could fly again. However, the restoration turned out to be so complex that several owners failed in the task one after the other. Thus, in 2011, Zero reached the Legend Flyers, who took over the task.

The fighter was restored to its original 1943 condition, with one exception: the original engine could not be repaired, so it was replaced by a Pratt & Whitney R-1830-92 radial engine. The painting corresponds to that of the original aircraft down to the last detail. In the fuselage, in addition to the Japanese badge, the restaurateurs also reapplied the original registration, indicating that school-age children from Manchuria occupied by the Japanese collected money that supported the purchase of this aircraft.

After the inaugural flight and flight tests, the Mitsubishi A6M3 will fly from the US West Coast to the East Coast. It will be owned by the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and will not only be on display at the museum's static exhibition, but will also be demonstrated in flight at air shows throughout the country.

Ukraine: I have a bird that has been screaming here at night for the second day. It's so creepy, what the fuck. I tried to turn on the recording of the hawk, it yelled at him in response. What the hell is this anyway?

Lithuania: I don't know, but I already respect it.

Ukraine: Me too, but can it please stop yelling like that? The sound is like in horror movies.

Lithuania: May it be a bittern?

Ukraine: I will soon become a bittern myself, with such sounds. :/

Poland: Turn on Skabeeva to it. Helps without fail.

Ukraine: There are people here. They are not to blame for anything, I won't turn on Skabeeva to them.

Latvia: That's how they brought peacocks into our church once. They scream like those orangutans, bleat'.

Ukraine: Peacocks scream is hilarious.

Latvia: Especially if you pass by at night being a bit relaxed.

Belarus: Maybe it was a hawk, and you attracted it to mate? XD

Estonia: A warbird from an American biolab? It just lost the course, probably.

Poland: XDD

Poland: Hold up. What was Latvia doing by the church at night?

[ad_1] Many of Ukraine's homegrown UAV producers are modifying their drone fleets with the latest, cutting-edge technology. The upgrades, which now include artificial intelligence, are helping the outgunned country punch above its weight on the battlefield. The domestic company Warbirds of Ukraine says that the development of so-called smart drones will play a key role in the outcome of the war. [ad_2]
