So… like a very slow missile then?
Radar doesn't work very well on cardboard. Ukraine has already been using drones like this since 2023.
Doubt they have much carrying capacity for explosives like a shahed drone which is $25k, while these $2k cardboard drones are great for surveillance with little concern for loss.
