- wil421 2y agoChinese made drone parts with sim and/or startlink/gps capable systems. I bet a lot of it is from off the shelf parts and some from other countries systems.[1] [1] https://www.npr.org/2023/06/20/1183050117/how-ukraine-created-an-army-of-drones-to-take-on-russia https://www.npr.org/2023/06/20/1183050117/how-ukraine-create...

Some notable examples are - the boats wrecking Russia's Black Sea Fleet - the long range drones hitting Russian oil refineries - the gun on tracks (like the dog in OP, but with treads) They have dozens of FPV style drone companies, and 1000s of individuals assembling FPV drones from parts.
