Atomics aren't going anywhere out of existence unless you want to end deep space exploration, research, virgin steel production, and medical isotopes which most of the world's supply comes from Canada's 16 CANDU reactors (that also burn MOX from decommissioned nuclear weapons)
SMRs don't exist.

It would be interesting to know if the psychological impact of these low-speed very visible and apparently untouchable strike drones is factored into their design and employment?

More footage from St. Petersburg shows a Ukrainian long-range FP-1 flying toward the oil terminal while Russian "air defense" tries to shoot it down. Bystanders watch the drone move across the city toward its target. #Russia
