Strike on Terminal Autonomy plant appears to be first time in the war that Moscow has targeted a US company
A drone factory in Kyiv destroyed by a Russian ballistic missile on Friday was owned by a US corporation registered in Delaware, in what appears to be the first time Moscow has targeted a US company in the conflict.
Terminal Autonomy makes precision “deep-strike” drones with guidance systems that are resistant to Russian jamming signals, according to a person familiar with the company.
The phrase “terminal autonomy” refers to the final phase of a kamikaze drone’s attack in which AI takes over control of the weapon after the defending force jams radio waves or mobile service.

Ngl Terminal Autonomy is a dope name. Would make for a good hardcore band
Wasn’t the Orange explaining that American companies in Ukraine are a guarantee that Russia won’t attack them after he blackmailed Zelensky?
not surprising, considering the number of drone strikes and Zelenskyy publicly saying he’s hoping to achieve negotiating power through them.
