Neat, but this thing is a Hexacopter as it has 6 propellers, not 8.

Wow, I should have caught that. I built a 690mm hexacopter.

Hopefully without the payload delivery system :)

Looks like 6 rotors to me

Suicide drones make much more sense than this stuff for large munitions. All those engines and batteries for a platform that's very likely going to be destroyed anyway. Those cardboard, rubber band catapult launched planes are much cheaper.

If a $2k drone takes out a tank and crew that can't be easily replaced, that's still good bang for buck.

bang

I see what your did there.

This thing drops the mine, and arms it as it is released. It's not meant to hang around and get blown up.
