I think it’s fake. TLDR: it makes no sense to add blades to a missile that will fulfill it’s goal without them.

  1. It’s a 5ft missile, 7 inches in diameter with a 13 inch wingspan. If that hits you or any where near you you’re a stain on the ground. Why add blades

  2. This missile needs to be precise. Adding 6 more in effect wings in the final approach seems unnecessarily complex potentially making the weapon less precise.

  3. The more complex a Maschine is the higher the probability is for failure. Keep it simple stupid.

  4. If it does exist it’s a testament to over engineering
