Extreme low altitude very fast Ukrainian drone pass over Russian proxy positions

The FPV's a cool drone (it'll do 90+mph in free-flight mode), I nearly bought one a few months back:

In the end I decided to wait to see if they will implement their original plan for full modularity.....At the moment if you crash it (which you definitely will) and break a rotor arm (which you probably will), it has to go back to DJI to be fixed. 

However DJI  were talking about making the arms 'plug & play' components on a future version of the FPV.....If they do, I'm definitely having it. 

It's £2000-3000 for a decent DJI FPV setup, so properly busting it would really suck, unless you did something truly spectacular like flying it into an active lava plume and then sold the footage to everyone.  ;)

PS - Also this:  https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/1/22463946/dji-drone-ban-pentagon-department-of-interior

Hence my comment about the PLA in my first reply.  :ph34r:

I suppose when your work-car is a MQ-9 Reaper, being able to play with a FPV at the weekend isn't quite so important.  :P

90 mph? That would be quite the challenging target for the shotgun drone killing advocates--provided the drone wasn't flown in a stupid manner.
