Aren’t the ones the Ukrainians use basically just off the shelf DJI drones with an extra servo or two mounted to a release mechanism? We’re already in this scary future

Fpv has a very storied history, yet we don’t see these bombings in peacetime. Like fucking ever. Even in the U.S.

Its almost like pre-made drones are locked down and tracked, and homemade fpv quads take like 20 hours of sim time just to keep in the air.

That’s before we discuss the fact that the munitions Ukraine straps to them are unobtanium for normal people.

This is really cheap if you’re a military with a bunch of people, training facilities, and explosives, but still a big pain in the ass for anyone else. I guess if you have a really angry hobbiest with hundreds of man hours of flight time, and explosives knowledge you’re in danger.

The only one that pissed off I know lives in New Zealand.

Really? That’s what we’re doing now? We don’t have enough public shootings daily in this country, now we’re going to add drone bombing to the mix? C’mon. What’s your excuse now? Is there another amendment to the constitution? The 2nd amendment guarantees you the right to bear arms. So what’s it going to be now? The 28th amendment guarantees you the right to bear wings?

Paywall :-(
