    That’s so badass. As an FPV hobbyist this is like a fantasy. I’m curious though, why do they all say failsafe, yet they’re seemingly still in control of most of them. I see there’s no GPS lock. Maybe it calls failsafe when no GPS but doesn’t trigger the drone to shut down.

      Is that even beta flight? Never seen it configured like this, I know that’s what they were using at the beginning because that was basically the only FPV software available, but maybe they have a new “military-grade” one now?

      Also it’s interesting to see the different flying styles, some of them are like “let me carefully position myself slowly right next to this wing, yesss just right”, meanwhile their buddy just flies full speed ahead straight into it.

        According to the Ukrainians they trained an AI on some of the target planes they had in museums (some of the strategic bombers blown up were actually handed over from Ukraine in the nineties to russia (alongside the nukes), and I guess they kept one or two as museum pieces), so it could be the AI carefully chosing the good spot to blow up

        Yeah idk what config they’re using. Doesn’t look like any that I’ve used.

        Haha yeah and some look like they’re just falling from the sky. Not sure how the camera is facing straight down and moving down as well unless they just disarmed and let it fall.
