I was speaking to a commercial drone operator on Sunday at the Broadford
race track, he was trying to get permission from Motor Sport Australia
to film motor racing events and he was facing a lot of red tape.
I asked him if he could follow the race cars on the track and he said no
because his fastest drone could only do about 100kph but he can keep up
by cutting the corners.
The people trying to flee the drones in Kursk are wasting their time
unless its a long straight road.

The ruSSians in UKR are certainly finding that out...

Some of the Youtube vids of the "suicide drone" attacks the Ukrainians
are inflicting on the Russians are impressive :)

I've got a reasonable size drone (Chinese copy of a DJI Phantom called a
Cheerson CX20), I never use it so maybe I should send it to Ukraine:-)

If I get pinged by a speed camera, I'm going to contest the fine by
claiming that I was being chased by a drone.
