Japan’s Minister of Defense Shinjirō Koizumi posed with a cardboard drone on Monday during a meeting with drone manufacturer AirKamuy. The AirKamuy 150 is a cheap pre-fab cardboard drone meant to die on the battlefield and it comes shipped in a flatpack like an IKEA shelf.

It only needs to fly once. Honestly, it'd probably work.

But hey, I'm sure it's all irrelevant, I mean who would ever want to vindictively drone strike Seattle...
