A fleet of drones made out of cardboard and held together with elastic bands and tape are thought to have destroyed or damaged at least five Russian jets in ...
Russia was already using Iranian made cheap kamikaze drones, they just haven’t been as cheap. The Iranian drones have a longer range and much larger payload.
I guess Ukraine can just send 5 or 6 of these for likely a smaller cost the iranian ones, which combined can do quite a bit of damage, and are harder to shoot dowm by air defence, just by virtue of the larger number. Of course, each has its uses.

To give a sense of the difference in the cheapness scale: this one is both held together and launched by rubber bands.
What a time to be alive.
Or die, in case you see one arriving.
Original idea:
It’s not that different in price, though: the Aussie one is 5k, while this is 10k.
