Interesting that the Shahed-136 uses a TI TMS320 Microcontroller, but just because its listed on Element14 website doesn't mean they'll ship it there.

- verdverm 3y agoPeople are doing teardowns, here is one example: https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/detail/electronics-in-the-shahed-136-kamikaze-drone https://isis-online.org/isis-reports/detail/electronics-in-t... (man, just noticed they have a terrible domain name :facepalm:) Also worth pointing out that Russians are building the shaheds now too. Both are sharing upgrades with each other. The Ukrainians too are showing how drones are reshaping warfare. Consider their wolfpack drone boats and the asymmetric effect they have had on Russia's Black Sea fleet
