We need drones. We have not seen satellite imagery of that convoy in days. We need drones to take pics of themselves delivering payload. Assessing the air combat abilities of that convoy, and the surrounding support troops. I bet there are people all over that would love their drone delivering into the combat zone, for them to fly it in themselves for ticktock
James May's balsa wood glider managed 22 miles. A glider.
Most drones seem to be power wasting copters these days, or mega budget military stuff. In times like these, we need to make lots of cheap disposable drones from the minimum of parts. A goal the cartels might of invested in more than anyone else.
It would have to use a mobile phone. On-the-go compatibility should be able to route power out the phone, to a module designed to direct that power to the right servo's. It probably exists. Phones know all the position data for autonomous flight, and a mobile can make a call at 100 miles, line of sight. Some tech allows them to work as replays, setting up their own network as they go. All you really need is one powered plane to tow in a number of gliders. It's all about rapid and cheap assembly.
