Consumer drones have reached the point of insane use cases that I dont think a lot ever believed possible.

They are being used in the Ukraine/Russia conflict atm by each side for spotting and dropping grenades and mortar shells. They are doing it by rigging them up with cheap aftermarket parts and then rigging the AUX light on/off to trigger the drop.

They are also being used in other conflicts in Syria, Yemen, and Myanmar.

They quite literally have changed warfare because they are so affordable.

Really interesting overall. Will be interesting to see this all morphs into.
