This is cool, and good to see in the moment.

I guess my concern is that this seems to be highly obtainable tech for Russia as well. Like, the escalation here is undetectable exploding paper airplanes en masse for both sides.

Hopefully Russia is too corrupt and incompetent to actually facilitate creation and deployment of these, and instead continues to use 60 year old Soviet surplus and human meat waves on the ground.
