And pro tip: they don't come with built in geo fencing system that allows us to power down most drones if they near areas we don't want them to fly, like over the US border when independent media covered the invasion..we just turned off their gps geofenced permitted area and whoopi.. no more reporting or done footage of the border crisis lol

But the Iranians.. you can't power them off like this
