Ukraine Packed A Cessna-Style Plane With Explosives, Added Remote Controls And Kamikaze’d It Into A Russian Drone Factory 600 Miles Away
Ukraine seems to have fitted Cessna-style planes with remote controls, packed them with TNT & flown one 600 miles to strike a drone factory in Yelabuga, east of Moscow.

Okay, yeah, respect where it's due, the field expedient cruise missile does work.
How much does a tomahawk missile cost? I think cessnas run like 200k or 400k
Tomahawks tend to fly a bit faster and have a more focused payload.
Doing a Flying Timothy McVeigh certainly creates a large explosion. I have to question whether this strike had a meaningful impact on drone production, any more than McVeigh's strike had a meaningful impact on the FBI's ability to operate in the US Southwest. A ballistic missile would have had the same penetration and done far more damage.
TIL that it was an FBI building.
Federal building generally. It had a bunch of offices, including the DEA and the ATF. The latter is what he was (mostly) targeting, since it was (mostly) in response to Ruby Ridge and Waco.
it hit a residential annex, so production is not slowed whatsoever
