These things seem massively more capable than typical FPV drones.
Longer ranged, longer loitering time, harder to jam.
And they can’t be disabled by Putins bitch in the White House.

The 12th Azov Brigade has deployed a new drone called Seth. It autonomously flies “lazy circles over the battlefield, scanning for the distinctive shapes of Russian vehicles” before automatically homing in with its 10-pound warhead.
A Seth apparently can beam video back to its operators but may not have to,” reports Forbes war correspondent David Axe. “It keeps station by way of a multi-channel GPS receiver that’s resistant to jamming. Its autonomy makes it hard to defeat—short of simply shooting it down.”

This is exactly why I’ve been saying there needs to be effort for UA to mass produce and design new engines and they can in house within the military develop their own AI systems and training data. The ability to map read also is the ability to recognise objects.
From what information I can find the AI systems bought in can be around 15k USD. That and the engine is the main cost.
At some point something a bit bigger than this will develop the ability to dive bomb, or aim bombs as it over flies, weighted nose down with shaped charges or anti personelle with range finding it can program also optimum detonation height with a simple timer.
Recovering these would then greatly slash costs.

Sounds like Seth Jones was so bad Chicago traded him to Ukraine
