Having watched the video on Vyriv’s new Slavic drone, I have a few thoughts. The concept is very interesting, especially the claimed endurance, but there are also a few areas that I think need improvement. 🧵

7/ Overall, the endurance is what stands out most to me. Combining fixed-position hover with anything close to 1.5 hours of flight time could give the Slavic a very interesting niche between conventional quadcopters and small fixed-wing ISR platforms.

6/ The radio architecture will also be critical. In a contested RF environment, the system needs enough flexibility to maintain a reliable link when parts of the spectrum are unavailable. This could end up being just as important as the airframe itself.

5/ On the same note, nighttime visual navigation should be developed. A combination of EO and IR sensors for visual positioning could allow the drone to maintain positioning and navigation capability in low-light conditions rather than limiting those features to daylight.

4/ The camera, however, needs improvement. For a drone of this size and intended role, 10x optical zoom and 2K resolution feel underpowered. The lack of a thermal camera right now is an even bigger limitation for nighttime operations.

3/ The quadcopter format is also a major advantage over fixed-wing ISR drones. A fixed-wing platform has to keep moving, usually orbiting in circles or figure-eights. A quadcopter can simply hold position and maintain a consistent view of one area.

2/ It also greatly expands the operational area. A drone that can remain airborne for 90 minutes gives teams much more flexibility in how far they can operate and how long they can observe an area before needing to recover or replace the aircraft.

1/ The battery could be a game changer. If the claimed ~1.5-hour flight time holds up in real-world conditions, it could significantly change how teams operate. More time on target means fewer swaps and potentially fewer drones needed to maintain continuous coverage.

I have an extra Knicks ticket for Game 3 of the NBA Finals (first game at MSG) for whoever leads @BAXUSco next round. DMs open. Send term sheets.

Chasing something tasty and affordable? This 8 year old expression of Craigellachie is bottled at a tasty 58% Abv and is listed for just $50! This small batch Speyside single malt is rich, weighty and tasty. Bottled by Duncan Taylor in their Battlehill label. Just 1200 produced, a solid strength and age from a distillery that makes excellent sprit. Snag it here: baxus.co/asset/78d1oibVqbuWV…

Excited to share that I just completed the Honey Barrel Extension for @BAXUSco bounty via on @SuperteamEarn ! For the past week I've been working on the Web Extension for @BAXUSco github.com/Nalin-khanna/BAXU… here’s what it does & why I built it 👇

Pretty surreal to see this one come to life. The Louis XIII Jeroboam makes its U.S. debut tonight, on #BAXUS. Grateful to @web4O @web3princess and the whole @BAXUSco team for all that we're building. As CK says, just grateful to wake up every day and build cool shit. #onwards

Baxus is so next level 🔥
Woohoo!! @BAXUSco offers is working flawlessly. Epic job. And I scored a Henry McKenna 10 for under (current) MSRP. One of my favorite drinkers. @BourbEnthusiasm @d_tao thoughts on McKenna at this price? @web4O @web3princess @fintheirishman @whiskeypedian

It's cognac week with the iconic #LouisXIII Jeroboam dropping this Thursday at 8pm EST‼️
This week’s drop is something huge… it’s making its U.S. debut… and it’s not whiskey… 😱 What’s your guess? 👀
