Glad to hear Russia is weakened. Ukraine Air Force also shot down 44 Shaheds recently https://t.me/kpszsu/21943

Pretty genius, as a drone builder myself I appreciate lots of the drones being built during this war. Just unfortunate they have to be used for this purpose.

DJI drones are really closed, I doubt it’s possible to completely escape this. You can put files on an sd card and flash them, but if those files are malicious too, the drone will not function. While I see your point about bricking drones being a one trick pony, it would severely impact Ukraine’s surveillance capabilities if they lost most of their drones.
