Diy hobby drone! I wonder if it would fall apart in the rain?
There’s nothing unusual about carboard drones. Ukraine uses them aswell. Corvo drones for example.
You can impregnate cardboard to make it somewhat waterproof, so I’d guess rain is not an issue.
I was wondering about the feasibility of a dumb transport done (plane style) with a small 2 stroke engine carrying a bunch (dozen?) of guided quadcopter drones to a cluster of targets deep in Russia.
I feel like you could make the transporter for less than $500. Cheap enough to send them up as dummies to overwhelm air defenses.
I’m sure the pentagon has already investigated this for them though.
There would be an issue communicating with them from that range. Maybe you could have a repeater on the mother ship? Anyway, I think right now they’re using all the quadcopters they can on the front lines.
I was imagining each quadcopter being autonomous (gps module).
I suspect gps is easily jammed at the front but not so easily jammed over a large territory. But I don’t actually know anything about any of this, it’s total armchair speculation
What a piece of junk!
She’ll make .5 past lightspeed.
I just want to note that of all the fansplanation Star Wars spawned, the cope for that being “fast” was the biggest.
It’s still impressive how much was built out of a random pile of space jargon.
That’s cute they built it like a little model airplane.
As if there’s a little pilot to worry about. No wonder the reds are getting routed so easily.
The image fails to load for me, any mirror?
