Well, like the Russians have been saying, the property prices in New Zealand and Argentina are probably going down now that Russia has a weapon with global range. I guess that frenzy of US billionaries building remote shelters in those places will come down.

Záběry ruského dronu s ochranou proti minám (MPV) na vzácném ukrajinském obrněném vozidle Tempest 4x4. Ochrana proti minám (MPV) Tempest 4x4 byla ve Velké Británii vyrobena v roce 2002, celkem jich bylo vyrobeno pouze osm. Tempest 4x4 je založen na komponentech z nákladního vozu Peterbilt 330 a může přepravovat až osm osob. Video bylo natočeno v Dněpropetrovské oblasti na Ukrajině a ukazuje, jak je ukrajinský Tempest 4x4 zničen útoky dronů
Servicemen from the repair and recovery battalion of the 20th Russian Army demonstrated tests of the Arbalet interceptor drone. The drone is armed with an AKS-74U assault rifle. Early versions of this drone have been demonstrated previously, and operators are reportedly already being trained on these drones. The number of drones produced has not been announced, and the drones' technical specifications are still unknown. The main challenge in developing the drone was balancing the weapon to ensure flight stability and reducing the recoil of the assault rifle when fired. The drone's estimated flight time is 10-15 minutes, and it carries 30 rounds of ammunition. Judging by the video, the Russian interceptor drone performs well and is suitable for use against infantry, replacing the explosive-armed FPV drones currently in use.

The gun barrel need to be at the center of mass, the drone would just go reverse and not balancing madly like that.
Something build arround a Metal storm MAUL would be nice against infantry and other drones. But the gun need to be centered, not heavy and slung below like that.
Still, that thing look to be made on the field by a repair and recovery battalion. We will see if itwill be used or not.

Russia has very high success rate against Ukranian drones even when hundreds are launched and those drones are not against well defended targets. so why you think anything more can be done to saturate air defense? Ukraine still think they are in 1980s.Here is my take on this new nuclear-powered cruise missile. First, it doesn't give any advantages to Russia; it's just an attempt to secure the second strike capabilities. In reality, Russia is sort of vulnerabile to NATO's first strike because the American bombers can infiltrate deep into Siberia without getting noticed. Second, russians have been working on this system since 00s not due to the position of strength, but position of weakness. After Bush withdrew from anti-missile defense treaty, russians started questioning their nuclear counter strike capabilities. Third, it's a good psychological tool to dissuade and scare the western societies of arming Ukraine. For example, Tucker Carlson and alikes will discuss this weapon a lot and portray Russia as omni-powerful state. I hope this Burevestnik won't change the western plans to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia through the Ukraine war.
More optimal than F-35: Air Force explains why Gripen becomes priority for Ukraine
100 Iskander missiles in first few hours of ukraine conflict and nothing intercepted. now the upgraded Iskander has deep penetration warhead from Kinzal. so highly likely these long range aero ballistic missiles will be used against air defense, hardened structures or even GBI before ICBM. this direction of technology.
