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.

I mean the whole reason Russia invaded is because they believed they were far stronger in all aspects. They had a massive air and naval superiority, can shoot hypersonic missiles from subs and jets from 1000km+ with impunity that could not be intercepted and for which Ukraine is forbidden to fight back against with allied weapons, used cluster munitions, thermobaric weapons from day 1, have used the geneva convention as a checkmark list on what to violate including wearing Ukrainian uniforms. They have launched over 600 Shahed-136 drones which took months before Ukraine could muster a credible defense again them. They have created the largest and most dense landmine area in history with mines undetectable to mine detectors.
Are we really worrying about Russia learning to use cardboard drones?
