Australia Gave Ukraine Cardboard Drones and They’re Actually Brilliant.

Australia-based SYPAQ Systems is sending low-cost drones made out of cardboard to Ukrainian forces. The Corvo Precision Payload Delivery System (PPDS) drones come flat-packed and can launch, fly up to 75 miles, and land by themselves.

The Corvo PPDS is an expendable drone intended to deliver supplies and equipment into areas traditional logistics capabilities cannot reach. Following feedback from the Ukrainian military, the system has also been adapted for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. The drones come in a flat-pack kit, each slightly longer than a takeaway pizza box – a pallet holds 24 of these kits including their assembly materials, tools, motors and batteries. 

Drones have become an integral part of the war in Ukraine. Ukrainian forces regularly employ drones to target both personnel and vehicles. Many of the drones used in the conflict are off-the shelf-models that have been customized to carry grenades. Long-range strikes against targets deep inside Russia have also been carried out recently by Ukranian drones.

澳洲向烏克蘭贈送了紙板無人機。他們實際上很聰明。

總部位於澳洲的 SYPAQ Systems 正在向烏克蘭軍隊發送用紙板製成的低成本無人機。 Corvo 精密有效載荷輸送系統 (PPDS) 無人機採用扁平包裝，可發射、飛行最遠 75 英里並自行著陸。

Corvo PPDS 是一款消耗性無人機，旨在將物資和設備運送到傳統物流能力無法到達的地區。根據烏克蘭軍方的回饋，該系統也適用於情報、監視和偵察任務。這些無人機採用扁平包裝套件，每個套件都比外帶披薩盒稍長，一個托盤可容納 24 個此類套件，包括組裝材料、工具、馬達和電池。

無人機已成為烏克蘭戰爭不可或缺的一部分。烏克蘭軍隊經常使用無人機攻擊人員和車輛。衝突中使用的許多無人機都是現成的型號，經過客製化可以攜帶手榴彈。烏克蘭無人機最近也對俄羅斯境內的目標進行了遠程打擊。
