What would stop anyone from putting this on a quadcopter to deliver payloads to parking planes?

What would stop anyone from putting this on a quadcopter to deliver payloads to parking planes?
- Etheryte 2y agoI mean what's stopping anyone right now? All the tools are there and readily available, it's just that most people don't really want to go to jail for a long time.
- nine_k 2y agoSearch YouTube for videos of Ukrainian drones striking Russian military aircraft on airfields. One reason not to attempt this is that it would be seen as an attack.
- GaggiX 2y agoIf you are using a quadcopter you are probably close enough to control the drone directly.
- notahacker 2y agoYeah. And even if you're not, a coordinate for the airport location and a camera with a basic computer vision system capable of identifying the difference between tarmac and aircraft is going to be more useful than a real time link to satellite images
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoNothing except existing anti-drone measures around airports, e.g. radar, jammers, anti-drone drones, and eagles (https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-35750816 https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-35750816). What I'm saying is that a lot of infrastructure is very vulnerable if there is someone who wants to cause damage. Hand grenades or improvised explosives on commercially available or even home-built drones can cause a lot of havoc, assuming you have the operators and they can avoid being tracked down. The Russian invasion of Ukraine shows the efficiency of that, at this point there must have been hundreds of thousands of drones been used to great (and financially asynchronous) effects, on both sides. What ends up in the news and social media is likely just the tip of the iceberg.
