Nope, wrong. There wouldn’t be a story if it wasn’t radioactive. Go re-read the article.

You dont know what the word payload means.

Payload - the load carried by a vehicle exclusive of what is necessary for its operation especially : the load carried by an aircraft or spacecraft consisting of people or things (such as passengers or instruments) necessary to the purpose of the flight … rockets carrying … a payload of Starlink satellites. —Rick Neale Their objective was to size the airplane according to its intended payload. —Clive Irving

In this case the Payload is the warhead. It is a kamikaze drone.

They’re kamikaze drones. The drone is sacrificing itself with the payload.

The drone is a kamikaze drone. It delivers the warhead and destroys itself.

The uranium is armor piercing. That’s why they use it.

For armor piercing capabilities. And no it’s cheap because it’s radioactive and isn’t useful for very many things.

Lots of awful things about war. This is one in the endless list.

Read the article, it says they’re using it in warheads. The person you’re replying to is correct.

Lots of people didn’t read the article…lots of bad replies here.

"Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) documented six more cases of Russian forces using munitions with uranium components against Ukraine, found in Geran-2 attack drones that struck Chernihiv Oblast between April and June 2026.

… Russia mounts old Soviet R-60 air-to-air missiles on the Geran-2 drones, and the uranium sits in those missiles’ warheads. The purpose is the arms race in the sky: the R-60 turns a strike drone into an air-to-air weapon meant to kill the Ukrainian aircraft and helicopters that intercept incoming drone swarms. What the SBU is now documenting is that the radioactive warhead configuration is not a one-off but a recurring feature of the strikes."

The uranium is in the warhead for armor piercing capabilities. Everything hit by it then becomes radioactive. And because of the setup, the drone parts that remain especially are radioactive because it is a kamikaze attack. The uranium explodes out in all directions.

Texas is big and bad though. Abbott and Republicans make sure of that.

But if everyone actually voted it wouldn’t need to be. Republicans win because of people that don’t vote.

No matter how badly gerrymandered texas is it would be 100% blue if people voted.

From the article:

"Cameras consist of three parts. An $800 camera, $500 pole and $350 solar panel.

…Sovern told him solar panels from the equipment were being used for camping.

Sovern is an engineer and mechanic in the U.S. Air Force according to his defense attorney Cole Roberts."

Sounds like the flock solar panels and batteries can be used for powering other things if you know what you’re doing.

This post reminded me of this music video
