Ukraine’s early adoption of ‘first-person view’ drones tips the scales against an enemy fighting a conventional war.

    If only we could be sure that $400 drones will only ever be used to kill tanks, and never to kill neighborhoods …

      I’m waiting for the panic that will happen at the first political assassination using drones

        Several years ago, before COVID, the Japanese government was on high alert because someone parked a drone on the roof of the Prime Minister’s office. Small traces of (harmless) radiation were detected on the drone and no one knows who put it there or why.

          It’s entirely possible someone just flew it around near Fukushima, brought it to near the PM’s office, and then parked it on the roof as a political statement

      You can. It takes a much bigger drone to kill an entire neighborhood.

        Yeah for now. What happens when someone attaches a laser to one that can start fires?
