    • I'm not sure I believe this photo. I've no idea how heavy those charges are, but 'not light', I imagine, also no batteries for the drones. Heavy.Nairn
    • Say good night, Ivan.Continuity
    • Given the Ukranians' ingenuity so far, I think I actually believe this photo.Continuity
    • these are real, some of them carry fuel tanks at the top for two reasons: self destruct and kamikaze mode after dropping the packagested
    • these are not your average $100 drones.sted

    • huh I'd actually seen that video and not registered what it was carrying.Nairn
    • I know how much these cost - I was actually pricing up components last year when I was thinking through options for anti-drone drones and what could be ...Nairn
    • ... achieved wih off the shelf tecnhology.

      I'd just here assumed that RPG charges would be *heavy*. Je suis wrong.      Nairn
    • Suffice to say I think a million quid would go a LONG way to creating an 'always on' perimeter ring of quad drones that could feasibly take out Shaheds.Nairn
