I like it, it's cute, it flies inverted, looks like an albatross or frigatebird with the tail configuration.

Rate this crow UAV. It parasitically charges by perching on any power line for effectively unlimited range and duration.

Decent slopdrone, nothing special performance wise but the idea to DO it at the time is the ahead of its time part considering the McNamara retardation going on.

For nuclear tests, they would fly drone airplanes near the test site for videos and closer for readings.
UAVs and drones are not that new.

Do me a favour. Try to think of the most outlandish way to spy on someone or copy some shizo shit from /x/ and post that because you'd be actually closer to real classified tech.

I.e. dental floss that gets stuck in the victim's teeth and transmits everything they say to a local receiver.
