While a YB-40 or an XB-41 would be cool, I'd suggest an Me323E-2/WT.

We have a winner. Why shoot them down when you can open the front door, swallow them, take them home and repurpose to
send back to the original owners.
Good for recycling credits too.

Ahh...but no, the WaffenTräger was armored and heavily armed and had a solid nose with a 20mm turret.
It's design as an armed escort to fly in formation with the transports was along the same lines as the USAAF's idea to have gunships embedded in their bomber formations.
Added: the Me323E-2/WT was not produced but was tested as a prototype (two built) although one was actually assigned to KG200 where it did perform escort duties but never saw combat.
That's ok. I was thinking of the Bond movies where they had gear to swallow things up.

When I saw 323 I simply assumed the usual variety. Didn't know the later model even existed.
As always with this forum more learnt. Thanks and to save anyone else typing, is there a kit ?

I'll be stealing a Dauntless now, for drone hunting!
Nah. I will go with a OV-10. Four MGs operated by the driver, no visibility issues and a back seater to find the drones.
Need some of the ww2 IJN bullets in 7.62 instead of 7.7. They made a real mess when they hit anything.

Russia's spring offensive in Ukraine is breaking records for all the wrong reasons. Casualties are skyrocketing, recruitment is collapsing, and territorial gains are shrinking to almost nothing. Putin's military is now losing soldiers at a pace that may soon become impossible to sustain, while Ukraine's defenses continue inflicting devastating losses. The Kremlin wanted momentum in 2026. Instead, Russia may be heading toward its worst period of the entire war. And the numbers somehow keep getting worse.
