I Built a $40,000 Military Drone for $120.07 By Data Slayer “Built with $120 and zero remorse... I reverse-engineered a $40,000 military recon drone for $120.07—complete with live video streaming, tactical mesh integration, and full ATAK support. Just open-source gear you can build yourself. This is the next chapter in the mission to take our tech back.” #mesh #atak #meshtastic #reticulum #uhf #drone #radio #hamradio #amateurradio

First of all, before watching, I will say that this is probably clickbait. This guy is known for it. I'd assume that he just uses some common parts that have weak security, motors and batteries that are cheap AliExpress ones and have no efficiency and the drone itself has not a lot of range. Now, I am going to watch it and comment back later

Yeah, even worse than what I though. This guy did nothing. He strapped a shitty cam to a drone, used an llm to make it broadcast over LoRAWAN or whatever and got a 320x320 1fps video out of it. Congrats! You have wasted your time and money. Go use your marketing talent to help the humanity. His clickbait is gold though. A lot of people will watch it because of it.

So you can perch it to high ground and it becomes a repeater?
