At around $1,000 a shot, it is meant to make shooting down Russian drones vastly cheaper. AdvertisementAdvertisementAn Australian defense company has developed a new weapon dubbed the "drone killer" that could help Ukraine face Russia's suicide drone barrages at a low cost. The weapon can be mounted on a truck and operated with a joystick and a screen, Australia's ABC News reported. The US-supplied NASAM missile system, sent to Ukraine last winter, costs around $500,000 to fire. According to ABC, the cost of shooting down a drone with it is estimated to be between $100 and $1,000.

Ukrainian media has shared footage purporting to demonstrate the use of a "cardboard" drone. Ukraine says it used the lightweight, cheap drones to do serious damage to five Russian planes. The footage here shows the potential damage from a mid-air explosion. The advantage of the Corvo PPDS drone — which have been variously described by their manufacturer SYPAQ as being made of cardboard and of light foamboard — is in its cheapness, light weight, and disposability.

Ukraine has received hundreds of so-called "cardboard drones" from Australia. The Corvo PPDS is cheap, comes flat-packed, and can be built in an hour, its maker says. SYPAQ's Corvo PPDS drone. Although it's known as the "cardboard drone," there's conflicting information as to what its main framework is actually made of. Per the pro-Russian Telegram channel @fighter_bomber, Ukraine used a swarm-like formation of several unarmed Corvo PPDSs amidst drones packed with bombs, helping the swarm evade radar.
