[bars] Fascinating article

This fascinating article explores the limitations and the reality of
operating COTS drones in war zones in Ukraine. In particular, I found it
interesting that missions sometimes have to wait 30 minutes or more for a
particular radio frequency to become available before they can launch,
because interference from teams competing for the same bandwidth can be as
bad for the mission as intentional jamming from the enemy.

It also brings a measure of common sense into the propaganda videos that
show things like drones flying into open windows, tank hatches, vehicle
openings and even Russians taking a dump. 🤣
