Hitlers V2 Rockets we’re heavier, even duds would knock out buildings because they were 2 tons. They were also significantly faster. Hitlers V2 rockets flew at 400 MPH creating a kinetic impact if they failed that would knock down most buildings.

Vlads fly at 115MPH, weigh in at 400 pounds and cost nearly the same.

Now, I’d assume Hitlers were 25k back in the 40s, and Putins are 20k today. Not sure if the info I was reading accounted for cost, but if it did, the V2 rocket would be the obvious choice for this style of war.

I’m glad Putin isn’t using them, but in my opinion, his drones fell short of impressive. Unless he’s got a Protoss carrier filled with 10k of them, I’d say this is just him trying to get some cheap shots in.

Furthermore, Drone defenses are on the way to Ukraine, and modern drone defenses would not Stop a V2 rocket onslaught.
