Not all have winglets, they aren't needed. The ones that have the little winglets at the wing tips, they don't move, they have no directional control.

The wing in your video has flight control parts I was talking about (not sure what they are called). Small parts in the rear that tilt up and down. You can see it at 3:25 in the video.

The wings appear to have full width ailerons, but the tail does not appear to have a rudder
You can see the line between the aileron and the rest of the wing.
It's possible they have an "all moving tail" where the whole tail assembly moves instead of just the training edges.
They are obviously functional, without control surfaces they would fly like the toys, wherever the wind takes them.
You *can* maintain controlled flight without those surfaces however.
The original Wright bros plane used a technique called "wing warping" where they adjusted tension on cables and it would change the shape of the whole wing.

I was into gas/nitro RC planes big time up until about 15 years ago. I still have a couple, but the control equipment, radio, servos, etc., are out of date, the electronics are no longer any good. Anyways... a rudder isn't necessarily needed to turn a plane (or drone). We'd have pylon races at our flying field and I never bothered using the rudder to turn my plane. All that's needed to turn the plane is use the ailerons to bank the plane left or right, then feed in the right amount of elevator, and the plane can change directions as quickly as wanted. Looks like the ailerons on the Aussie drones function as both ailerons, and elevator. I expect they turn well enough for their intended purposes.

They are called ailerons and elevones, they all have them. That's how flying wings fly lol. Even the drone in the other article has them.
I thought you were talking g about a rudder and elevator on a tail section.

First British Challenger 2 tank destroyed by Russian forces.
British supplied Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine some time ago, but watching how Leopard tanks and Bradley vehicles were systematically destroyed, British didn't let Ukraine use their Challenger 2 tanks in failing counteroffensive. Not a good optics.
Now that Ukrainian counteroffensive is running out of breath, Challenger 2 tanks entered the battle and they burn like the rest.
There is a school of thought that NATO armaments are not as good as many were led to believe. The battles they were tested in were against much inferior forces further weakened after prolonged campaign of air strikes.

Which side is winning the war?
Which side has the momentum?
Or has it turned into a stalemate?
The propaganda coming from both sides is so thick that I sort of gave up on paying attention to what's going on over there.

Ho Lee Fuk they're brutally wrecking each other. Dang!
I mostly watch the trench fighting videos and it's trenchy WW1ish stuff but with modern weapons.
I suppose that's what happens when neither side can gain air superiority.
But what do I know about it...

After decades of sabre-rattling and chest-puffing on both sides we'll find no one's gear quite as invincible as claimed, especially against a capable adversary. Marketing and self-promotion. There's just not enough money in making anything "invincible". War is no place for fanboyism.
Strategy, tactics, skill and experience will always have a part to play. Hell, even good old Murphy's Law will screw up your day.

The only real fact is the putin, not Russia, had no justification to attack the Ukraine, causing the death of hundreds of thousands of mostly young men. The rest? Well, pick your favorite corrupt asshole, they're all about equal in that department though Biden seems to have an edge.

TL;DR - Fuck Joe Biden, Fuck Volodymyr Zelensky, and Fuck Vladimir Putin too.
The threemusketeers commie douchebags would do the world a favor if they all blew their fucking brains out by no later than noon today.
I don't contribute much of anything to this thread simply because I'm never sure what the truth is. That is if there is any truth coming out of the war at all.
Our own country is getting destroyed by the Biden administration's open border agenda.
So, I have to say... Fuck the corrupt welfare recipient Volodymyr Zelensky.
I'm tired of working my ass off every day just for other people to get my money.
Let them all die... I.D.G.A.F.
I've worked my ass off for the last 48 years. I didn't work my entire life to support the freeloaders and the illegal invaders. Or more importantly, some commie conflict on the other side of the world...
Fuck the Big Guy and Fuck his 10%.
I want our tax money to secure OUR border.
Fuck corrupt Russia. Fuck corrupt Ukraine. And fuck fucking Europe in general IMO.
Build the wall, on OUR southern border with those millions of dollars that are being sent to Ukraine and the Biden Crime Family laundromat.
If you read my signature line below you will find the correct answer to this particular situation...

I don't blame foreign leaders for predatory foreign policy of the United Deep State of America.
American public is indoctrinated to believe that U.S. Constitution (which was written by slave owners) and American values (which raise eyebrows even in this country) is something to be forced on the entire planet, disregarding all cultures their beliefs and their history. This is how U.S. foreign policy which is based on double standards and AMERICAN SUPREMACY is sold to the general public as something wholesome.
Putin and his admirable stand on security and justice for his nation is not to blame for American policy towards Russia which predates his rise to power.
It is easier to point fingers than have an honest look at our own country.

I'm seeing rumors now of Nkorea agreeing to send troops and equipment into the fight, and Romania is declaring a no fly zone 30kms past their border over onto the black sea and Ukraine.
