retarius Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Isn't anyone following the war in Ukraine? Drones are really easy to shoot down if you have a radar system and a gun. This is a vehicle for doing reconnaissance over borders, meaning spying for the purposes of invading. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mess produced Iranian's Shahed-136 kamikaze drone are about 1 tenth in size of the Israeli drone and are suicide drones, while the one above is puerile for surveillance purposes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not spying on say insurgents, drug/people traffickers and potential illegal immigrants in the border areas? You'd also need something a bit more advanced than just a radar system and a "gun"!
