Japan is deploying ultra-cheap cardboard drones built for swarm warfare

Japan’s Defense Ministry said the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has begun using the AirKamuy 150, a low-cost cardboard drone developed by AirKamuy, as an expendable aerial target. The drone costs about $2,000 to $2,500 per unit, travels roughly 50 miles, can stay aloft about 80 minutes, and can carry up to three pounds of payload. It is prefab and flat-packed, enabling about 500 units per standard shipping container, with potential swarm and limited-mission uses such as reconnaissance or decoys.
