  "Although the Army is seeking a mini-drone for use by individual squads through the Soldier Borne Sensors (SBS) program, the individually handmade Black Hornet is seen as too expensive for large-scale deployment, with a unit costing as much as US$195,000"

    But just the fact that this exists at any price means that it will eventually become ubiquitous, unless something even smaller and more capable takes its place. That price was in 2016, so who knows if it's already down to $100k or below. In 10-20 years, these things will be priced like laptops and be far more capable than the current models.

    They've probably trimmed the price somewhat since 2016: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/26359/the-pocket-sized-black-hornet-drone-is-about-to-change-army-operations-forever https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/26359/the-pocket-sized...

  That is the cutest drone! I have one of these https://www.eachine.com/EACHINE-E10W-Mini-Quadcopter-Wifi-FPV-With-720P-Camera-2_4G-4CH-6-Axis-LED-RC-Nano-Quadcopter-Drone-Mode-2-p-310.html https://www.eachine.com/EACHINE-E10W-Mini-Quadcopter-Wifi-FP..., which is roughly the same size. It has a functional camera which records to a micro SD card. The image quality is crap, but you can't expect much at $29.
