The wide spread availability and low cost of drones is already having great effects on the course of the war in Ukraine. Swarms of cheap drones are being used for real-time targetting of artillery and missile strikes in a manner totally unlike anything we've seen prior to this. The US has shitloads of drones but the US hasn't fought a real war since Vietnam. This is mass deployment of drones being used in pitched near peer battle.
This is what quadcopters are for, people!
Seems like the Aliexpress average for entry-level quadcopters is now $20-60. Future insurgencies are going to be so interesting.
Like i always say: Learn to quadcopter. Learn to hack.
