The video highlights the effectiveness of Ukraine's flat-pack cardboard drones, known as the Precision payload delivery system (PPDS), which were originally designed for reconnaissance and logistics resupply but have been transformed into highly effective kamikaze weapons. These drones are easily assembled in theater and have been used to launch successful strikes on Russian airfields, reportedly destroying fighter jets, missile launchers, and air defense systems. Made from waxed cardboard, they are almost undetectable by Russian radar but relatively slow, with a top speed of around 37 miles per hour. Despite their speed limitations, these drones can carry several kilos of explosives and have forced the Russians to resort to low-tech measures for protection. With a cost of around $5,000 AUD, the cardboard drones are a more affordable option compared to other military-grade systems, and Australia has been supplying Ukraine with a hundred of them every month since March.

This would actually be useful as a bot unlike the piped linking one.

Might be a bit expensive to run those since you would have to link to an AI and that isn't cheap. Especially with the number of videos that are being linked to every day.
