I would love to understand how it's electronic warfare resistant. I wonder if it's just manually flown rather than GPS.

Obviously though I don't expect anyone that knows to answer. We can wait till it's in the history books.

all the fpv drones they use are manually flown and dont have gps, but yeah it would be cool to know

They must have been pretty close, since it's manually flown like that.

i mean you can get line of sight video reception out for miles, without looking too hard theres someone who flew out 8 miles, and thats probably limited by battery so a kamikazi drone could go further.

i fly fpv drones for fun so its an odd feeling seeing them used as weapons
