At least 100 of the flat-packed drones are being supplied to Ukraine each month, as per a report by The Australian. These cardboard UAVs allow Ukrainian forces to drop bombs, deliver supplies and undertake vital reconnaissance missions. Watch the video to find out what the Precision Payload Delivery System is?

| #7 The cardboard is waterproofed. Its flight is preprogrammed. It's not designed to land and be reused. Even though it is likely to survive several landings, I would want to have extra propellers tape handy. |

| #2 Oh they actually exist. Don't know how useful they will be over multiple sorties, rainy season, winter on the rubber bands, etc. But, in a pinch, on a budget... might be worth a look. |
