"Everything is done very quickly, you know what you need to do," Gezh said. Drones are quite fragile devices, on the front they often get under enemy fire, lose, wear wind, fall.

You will not get bored constantly to buy new money, as one quadcopter costs up to $ 3000, and repair costs less than $ 100. Most often, suspensions to cameras, motors and legs are broken. UAVs, which are very affected and are not recoverable, are disassembled for spare parts. For example, if the drone has fallen into the water, then 99% of electronics "dies", but parts of the housing can be rearranged on damaged devices of the same model.
