      Loitering suicide drones were proven extremely effective in the Nagarno-karabakh war last year. Azerbaijan had a bunch of drones like these from Turkey and Israel and they massacred Armenian troops still in their buses to the front lines.

      Its very easy to sneak these things past battle lines and they're almost impossible to detect much less do anything about once you see them. The psychological effect of them alone is worth it.

          Yeah idk how effective these would be in comparison to those but I think they'll be more effective than a mortor. They're more like a trap than an assault weapon and they seem more effective than a claymore.

          I mean they carry remote control rocket launchers, claymores, a dozen different firearms, armfuls of rations, and a variety of cardboard boxes.

        I sort of wish that Kojima was still making MGS games... old school ones like MGS 1 & 2 though, not this MGS 4 shit

      I disagree, it seems like a truly man-portable recon drone that if it's cheap enough it could augment light infantry and SF capabilities by a significant amount.

      Mortars are mostly defeated by digging in, even a simple foxhole or trenches can act as very good defence against them. These will blow directly on targets.
