Claim: Ukraine uses long-range autonomous 'Hornet' loitering munition vs DPR logistics

WarGonzo claims Ukrainian forces are striking rear-area logistics with a US-made 'Hornet' fixed-wing loitering munition (~160 km range, 4–5 kg warhead). The post highlights autonomy/AI EO target recognition and optional Starlink or nonstandard frequencies to reduce EW vulnerability, indicating a higher-end, low-link-dependence strike drone concept aimed at trucks deep in the rear.
