It’s pretty wild, isn’t it? For just a few hundred bucks and some spare change, you could assemble your very own low-budget swarm of “attack drones” – the kind buzzing around battlefields in Ukraine. Forget futuristic tech labs and government budgets; with some Python code (easily available all over the internet, by the way), you too can dip your toes into the kind of airborne chaos that used to be the stuff of sci-fi.

Crazy? Maybe. But if you’ve got an eye for irony, there’s something darkly amusing about warfare technology becoming so DIY that it’s practically on sale.
