The UK’s TigerShark strike drone uses Formula 1 engineering to deliver 1,000km range, and Ukraine could be next in line to use it. In this video, I break down how a former F1 engineer built a long-range strike platform designed for speed, low cost, and rapid production, and why that matters for Ukraine’s deep strike game.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes. Crimea is Ukraine.
Tldr: A British defense firm recently flew its new 1,000-kilometer range strike drone for the first time, built using Formula One (f1) technology. This advanced military drone may soon be supplied to Ukraine, continuing a pattern of the United Kingdom developing rapid and effective military assets for the country’s defense in the ongoing Ukraine war. The engineering behind this drone highlights the continuous innovation in defense technology.
Ukraine pushes for Europe to build defense system against ballistic weapons
KYIV, April 19 (Reuters) – Europe must have its own defense system against ballistic weapons, and Ukraine is already holding talks with several countries on its creation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday.
Defense against ballistic missiles is one of Ukraine’s biggest challenges in the war with Russia, since only certain types of missiles used by the American Patriot system are capable of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles.
Russia uses ballistic missiles to attack Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, destroying thermal power generation and electricity transmission systems.
“I believe, and my idea is that we should have a European anti-ballistic missile defense system. We are in talks with several countries and are working in this direction,” Zelenskiy told the national TV channel, Marathon.
“We need to build our own anti-ballistic missile defense system within a year,” he added.
Zelenskiy said the task is extremely difficult but realistic, and added that he had already discussed it with key European countries, though he did not name them.
He gave no more details.
However, Fire Point, maker of Ukraine’s Flamingo cruise missile, told Reuters this month that it was in talks with European companies to launch a new air defence system by next year, creating a low-cost alternative to the increasingly hard-to-get Patriot system.
Patriot missiles are in increasingly short supply amid extensive deployment in the Gulf against Iranian attacks. And Europe’s only anti-ballistic system, the Italo-French SAMP/T, is produced in relatively small numbers.

Europe should’ve had the foresight to get going with this on its own, and with many other things as well. Even with the next president being normal in the head, Taco has shown where the ride can be taken to when an idiot sits at the wheel in the White House and Congressmen and women only try to stick their thumbs as far into their asses as possible, while he (or she) rams and smashes his way through his presidency.
