"Ukraine Now Using “Cardboard Drones” to Devastate Russian Airfields"

From Medium | the article by Wes O'Donnell.

"If there were a single phrase that could define the Ukrainian war effort, specifically its attack capabilities, it would be 'bang for the buck.'”

Asymmetric warfare at it's finest!

"In the summer of last [2022] year, I marveled at Ukraine’s ‘MacGyver’ army and its ability to do more with less."

"A year [2023] later Ukraine is still showing the world how wars will be fought in the decades to come."

"Named after Edgar Allen Poe’s favorite bird, the raven, Ukraine is now using the Australian-made Corvo Precision Payload Delivery System (PPDS) to destroy Russian aircraft."

"The Corvo PPDS is an ultra-light drone with an airframe made of waxed cardboard (waxed to make it waterproof) and supplied as a self-assembly flatpack."

HL [heavy-lift] version of the PPDS range about 120 miles with reduced payload. [about 200km] 

Ground control stations have an option for beyond-horizon communication when PPDS used in the extended range mode.
