#2So this is basically a DIY mini rocket clearly advertised to be used in an asymetrical war. I do not expect this project to remain on github for long.

#4Straight up admitting that it's meant to implement MANPADS is certainly a choice, I hope the author doesn't get himself in hot water.. ITAR or something..
(Would be cool to see an ATGM variant too!)

#5As the YouTube comments say:
> This guy really wants that defense contract.

#6This is bonkers. Video on GitHub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDO2EvXyncE
I'm impressed by the kid's engineering and gumption, but I think he's a bit.. misguided, if you'll pardon the pun. The video ends with shots of Russian drone war, and, bizarrely, photos of David Koresh.
I don't think this ends well.

Can't wait for the open source fighter jet.

Just a few days ago, we got a legitimate from scratch open source design for a phased array radar [1].

Airbus has been in the defense industry for a long time.
And the deadliest weapons in war today are repurposed toys.

#10> This project manifesto declares a fundamental shift: advanced air-defense capabilities—once locked behind billion-dollar state arsenals and classified labs—are now within reach of determined individuals using consumer electronics, open-source software, and rapid prototyping.
I guess a lot of people will not be happy with this xD
