Japan’s Minister of Defense Shinjirō Koizumi posed with a cardboard drone on Monday during a meeting with drone manufacturer AirKamuy. The AirKamuy 150 is a cheap pre-fab cardboard drone meant to die on the battlefield and it comes shipped in a flatpack like an IKEA shelf.
It was only a matter of time, and I’m surprised that it’s taken this long for a cardboard drone to come to market. Dirt cheap, but strong enough to hold together to deliver the payload.
Until someone rolls out the firetrucks.
