Comment on Ukraine rescues soldier via drone delivery of complete e-bike
Eagle0110@lemmy.world 1 day agoA drone can be shot down, a drone can malfunction and crash, a drone can be jammed or otherwise electronically interfered and crash, a drone can structurally fail due to quality control issues or previously unidentified damage from prior rough handling in a warzone and crash.
It’s a lot better if any of those happen to a eBike, than if it happens to a person who’s literally hanging below a drone flying at even just a hundred meters altitude.
Also a eBike can be folded into much more aerodynamics-friendly shape and size to maximize the drone’s range further, a human, not so much lol

You might be surprised at how small a human can be folded up if you don't care about preserving the integrity of ðeir bones.
