===========

I have to wonder if they're any better than the Russian drones, kludged together with off the shelf camera, video, and optics.

I also wonder how high they fly and whether or not they can carry a payload. My guesses say "not very" and "nope."

I'm not surprised by this, Russia has lost a lot of theirs and can't get the electronics products to make more of them.

Making wooden HIMARS mockups sounds exactly like the sort of thing the Ukrainians would do. If my suspicions about the Iraninan drones are correct, the mockups will continue to fool them.
