    What drone is OP getting that it’s only $35? I don’t think I’ve seen them from anything less than about $200 and a good one is about $500 to $700

      I’ve flown a number of drones and the best drone I’ve flown that clocks in under £100 is a tiny-whoop and they’re absolutely not fit for combat lol.

          Tiny-whoop more reffers to a class of FPVs rather than any specific drone. They’re small enough to be flown around indoors and typically weigh in at under 25g TOM. I guess you could use one for surveillance or scoping out a building in the field but defo not for combat lol

        Analog fpv drone is at least €150 when produced on a mass scale. Parts alone.

        This is nowhere near 35 bucks cheap.

            Yes, precisely right. When compared to military precission weapons. That start at tens of thousands.

            And I gave as real of a number as possible, so there are no idiots thinking an fpv drone costs 35 bucks. Even if it has to fly once.
