  Is that a wedge-tailed eagle? Those birds are huge.

  I hope that doesn’t hurt to do. it’s cool as hell to see but I’m unaware of how many rotor blade impacts a hollow bird bone can take

    This plastic bomber can’t really hurt much.

    If I remember correctly the strength of these is quite low. They just spin really fast. They cannot even break skin and give you a cut afaik.

      They can cut the shit out of you. They won’t sever a finger or anything with the stock props (some aftermarket carbon fiber stuff might though), but they’ll fuck up flesh.

      Until it becomes an arms race, blades will be made of lightweight metals that are super thin to save weight and therefore sharp, and motors be built with more torque.

  Next step, train eagles to drop bombs on Russians.

  • FuckFascism@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

    So the Russians can shoot at the birds too? No, that’s a very cruel idea, let’s stick with drones.

      how can Russians shoot at birds when they aren’t real?

    You’re right, it’s spot on ahah

    Anti-Drone Eagles

    It’s cool, it’s totally ethical–they’re all programmed to hunt whichever bird of prey is most numerous at the moment, so they leave the endangered ones alone until near the end.
