    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.

      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.

        It’s not that different in price, though: the Aussie one is 5k, while this is 10k.

      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.
