Russia's Gerbera Drone Fashion Shows Two Cameras, Still Crashes
In a breathtaking display of wild drone tech meets thrift shop chic, Russia's budget-friendly Gerbera drone ($10,000 each as of 2024) debuted with a back-mounted twin-camera setup aiming skyward and rearward for ultimate paranoia defense. Filmed by a Ukrainian Wu Samurai interceptor drone on an undisclosed date near the Donetsk front, this propeller-powered lookalike of Iran's Shahed sought to dodge Ukraine's interceptor swarms—designed for Paris runway-level evasive maneuvers but caught anyway. Ukrainian blogger Serhii 'Flash' Beskrestnov noted high-end Russian recon drones like the Supercam sport evasive dives upon radio signal detection, showing the escalating spy-vs-spy tech clash. Meanwhile, Poland, possibly using pricey air-to-air missiles, joined by NATO, reportedly downs these bargain-bin aerial decoys, with a September 18 memorandum aimed at mastering Ukraine's Wolverine-like puny drone defenses. Hundreds of these wave-attacking lawn ornaments keep swirling overhead, proving you can add haute couture tech, but not class or survival skills.

Russia's Gerbera dress code: two cameras but zero survival instinct. When your evasion tech can’t save a $10,000 drone in a Ukraine interceptor dance-off, maybe it’s time for a full drone audit or at least better insurance.
Why slap two cameras on a wafer-thin drone and expect it not to get smoked? It’s like putting baby gates on a subtle volcano eruption—adorable effort, entirely moot.
Russia’s stealth plan: load cheap $10k Gerberas with cameras, hope Ukraine’s interceptor pilots have butter fingers. Spoiler: Ukrainian pilots don’t smoke butter, and neither do drones with rear cams.
