This video more than any other really exemplifies the danger of these FPV drones.
The tank is driving down the road at a good speed, with the hatch open to get a little air. The FPV drone flies into the open hatch and detonates in the moving tank.
That's above Javelin level accuracy with a $400 munition...

years ago i was playing with a superlightweight carbon fiber version of this , only real improvement , was folding and suspension.
Maybe time to dust of the plans , and get in on the action, while money is still being thrown around.
this monowhell for stretcher costs cca 3000Eur , which means can be sold to Ukraine for 10+K$ given how things are being sold for now.

Lithuania predicts Russia can continue Ukraine war at current intensity for another 2 years:
China studying Ukraine war for lessons to apply to Taiwan; their biggest concern is Starlink sats and missiles like Javelin / Stinger. They also view drones as crucial for 'kicking in the door' of Taiwan.
Urge development of weapons to destroy / blind / suppress Starlink, and methods of protecting against Javelin and Stinger. Also realize the need to seize Taiwan ASAP before a US/Western response can coalesce.
German Re-armament still stalled:
