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 the Ukraine war. The drones arrive flat-packed like some well-known Swedish furniture. A bit of sticky tape and a few elastic bands later, and what you get is a military-grade UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) that is able to carry several kilos of explosives over 75 miles.

      Pretty sure the rep was saying a similar airframe would be $5000, one that was made of traditional materials.

      Nevermind lol: $670 - $3,350 USD, ~$5000 AUS
