Some stuff here about Australia. I am a Brit and have reason to be grateful for the incredible sacrifice made by Australians in years gone by to fight for our country. To only mention a small part of their contributions, our wartime RAF was full of incredible Australian aircrew who fought and died to defend our country. Many that survived went on to fight for their own country agains the Japanese - these guys get my vote every time. Despite being a relatively small nation, the Australians are providing loads of stuff to Ukraine - well done guys. The whole western world is providing masses of supplies and weapons to Ukraine. Ultimately, however, Ukraine's future is inextricably linked to the willingness of the United States to keep providing equipment and ammunition at the current rate. I just hope they keep it coming.

@@matthewsheeran Dually noted. I don't mean to suggest they can't get some good use out of them. I just entirely doubt it's survivability for more than one or at most a few sorties/missions per plane before rendered inoperable. I don't see them making it back half or more of the time after going airborne into the thick of things. But I get it's pretty hard to turn down an offer that cheap. If they even manage to achieve some basic forward recon in the immediate area and slowly pushing forward as they use it to creep overhead slightly ahead of them, or using it as a grenade dropper, that can have at least a decent immediate effect for small units. But I think their suggestion of using it to transfer supplies is entirely idiotic, given that it's ceiling height is almost certainly quite low, and 🇷🇺RF troops could simply trail it right back to the unit that sent it up, or the place their transferring supplies to. Seems to be best fit for very small range forward recon operations or a sacrificial lamb of a grenade dropper on longer range missions.

This is brilliant! As cheap as can be and the cardboard won't reflect radar. The only issue could be flying in the rain but I am guessing the Aussies have considered that and coated the cardboard to be moisture resistant. This solution highlights a major problem with some of the U.S. military UAVs - extremely expensive due to being more hi-tech than possibly required. One time use weapons should be a cheap as possible.

Wax coating for waterproofing has been around for centuries & was used before plastic became available to make rain coats 👍

Indeed, sometimes too much thought and design can go into certain devices. It was known that the USA spent millions of dollars researching and developing an impliment that would write upsidedown in a capsule in the early days of space flight. The Russians apparently used a pencil.......

The engine/electric motor and battery along with the propeller will reflect radar plenty. unless these drones are powered by rubber bands.

Soviets ended up buying his pens as well, because they were way better-writing and safer, than wax pencils (and graphite pencils could short out the switches via graphite dust). 3. Space agencies weren't the only buyers of those pens - they've been reasonably popular in many places.

Innovation? LOL this thing is easy to manufucture. Russia has 5 times more drones than Ukraine.

"smell that ? Pizza !, smells like, like Victory" Cardboard and C4. Oooops a Daisy.

The innovation in the Ukraine war is just insane😮. Carry a few magazines or drop a couple of grenades - hmmm, I wonder which the Ukrainians will choose 😂😂😂

So the Russians are being defeated by flying Amazon boxes lol

With a starting price of $670?? Hell's bells - you couldn't even get an infantryman's rifle for that much!! As for practicality; many years ago I bought a kit for a basic radio-control trainer aircraft, made by a company called Stanley's. Believe it or not, apart from a couple of hardwood engine bearers, some small pieces of 3/32" ply, and shaped balsa leading edge, the rest of it was made of pieces cut out of the cardboard box! The box was what's called tri-ply - two outer skins of brown paper, with a corrugated brown paper layer in the middle - and once given a very light coat of paint, it was light, incredibly tough and crash resistant. And it flew very well, too.

Well done Australia. This is just the sort of innovation that Ukraine needs but for all of their war material requirements in their efforts to DEFEAT rUSSIA. Victory to Ukraine.

Perfekt 👍

Because they're of Aussie🦘🦘🦘🦘 manufacture, do these fly inverted? That would definitely confuse the orcs. Stay Frosty, Aussies!🌻🌻🔱🔱Slava Ukraini!🔱🔱🌻🌻

Slava Ukraine from Australia.

As teenagers in the late 70s , my brother and I flew ' control line ' model aircraft in the backyard and local park in Bundaberg / Australia . Its surprising what can be made to fly with a big enough engine and a wing of some description , even made from cardboard . Modelling from special craft cardboard is now very common as seen on youtube , so these drones are a very cheap and logical step , hasn't this new tech changed the game bigtime . Now if someone can tell me just how Russia is a member of the U.N. and not been expelled etc .....

to counter, how is the usa never held accountable for all the wars they started and the millions of civilians they killed. you don't question that. all the might of usa influence on the world. for 70 years now we all are watching movies where the russians are always the bad guys, always drunk and have always few huge moles on their face. i was the same until i decided to look behind that curtain and the true face kame to light

This is pretty awesome. Would happily buy civilian versions of the kits as an educational tool.

That's incredible😃. Great work folks!

There's a KZread channel of a group of guys that has been making cardboard RC model air-planes for ages and no doubt much cheaper than commercially available models like these. Probably less sophisticated, but because of the significantly lower cost more suitable for one kamikaze applications?

If they lined the engine and electronics bay with light weight radar absorptive foam it truly would be stealth.....

Very eco friendly and on mass could reap rewards...

You know that drives the local government nuts, the FAA in the USA is trying to clamp down on all hobby aircraft.

If the latest reports are correct, these cardboard drones just destroyed 4 SU-30, 1 Mig-29, 1 S-300 anti-aircraft system, and 1 Pantsir anti-aircraft system.

Way cool, and good work Australia!

Good job!!

Get a life.

A smaller country, thinking smart instead of expensive. Brilliant. I wonder what the RCS is (no doubt a secret but I’m still curious :D)? 5kg of explosive and shrapnel is no joke if it lands next to you in a trench but it sounds like these are mostly being used for ISR. Can’t wait to see some video of orcs having a bad day, nevertheless.

Brilliant concept!

Guess I was building military grade UAVs back when I was starting my RC Hobby xD

Wax cardboard are resistant to cold, rain, humidity etc.. It's used in frozen food shipment, it's pretty amazing how those thin box can hold 20kg and maintain it's strength in refrigerated container

Brilliant. I’ve lived in Indian Springs, Nevada for several years. That is across the street from Creech AFB, home of the Predator. These are big, insanely expensive machines and I couldn’t see using them to drop grenades on people. I’m pretty sure I could take one out with a deer rifle, if it got close enough to drop a grenade on me.

You wouldn't hear it coming. I fly drones and my drone can't be heard when it is 70 metres away. I think it would easily drop a grenade on you before you even knew it was there. Especially when you are in a war zone with many other noises to mask it.

As a kid I got from my father just the arrow Mobilaire to make a plane from scratch with some balsawood. It’s not only about the components which is in it to make it silent and trackable. Special army frequencies and satellites communication systems are needed to be implemented but despite the form shape length with depth of the plane itself

that sounds ok, cheap and easy to build and effective… not costly but helpful.

A very Aussie device, perfect for stealth hunting in the outback.

DEATH from cardboard. We need these

A wonderful music video... Keep up the tunes...

In the 21st century, the use of drones in warfare is becoming increasingly important for armed forces. Drones, whether long or short range, provide a significant advantage with their ability to have "eyes in the sky." Swarmed drones are particularly effective, allowing for even greater advantages on the battlefield. Countries with advanced technology have an advantage in fighting against larger nations, such as Russia. In today's world, technological superiority is crucial, regardless of the size of a country or company. Falling behind in technology can lead to being left behind in terms of military capability and national security.
