Er, yeah it does. Waxed cardboard is a thing. Were literally supplying them to Ukraine. But feel free to say more dumb things, certainly hasn’t stopped you so far.
The cheap 3d printed drone I made can carry two soda cans, all I have to do to increase that is increase the overall size, or just the motors and add structural rigidity with pretty much any lightweight straight material. At that size even a steel rod would greatly increase rigidity while adding insignificant (for the purposes of I/ED carrying drones) weight.
Heck, my last rc place would easily fly with nearly 7lbs, and I could maybe push that to 10 if I swapped for a higher power motor. By my napkin math, that’s 8 blocks of M112 packaged C4, and I’m not sure how much damage 10lbs of C4 could do, but I know a single M112 can take out small bridges and level an average American sized house.
I guess my point is, you don’t need super strong materials, because small amounts of explosive will do. But it doesn’t matter because you can still make strong drones cheap.
I mean why not, Light, structural. They’re not going to stand up to any damage taken no matter what they make them out of they’re just not big enough
It’s also cheap. Shitty suicide drones can be made for less than 1000$, why bother wasting expensive materials that don’t improve success rates?
I like that they’re probably only good for the Earth ;)
It doesn’t work in the rain or high winds

Cardboard isn’t particularly structural.
The cheap moving boxes I have, can carry at least 25 kilogram. That is about 75 cans of 330ml cans of soda. How is that not structural?
