Strap some explosives to them and see if you’re still laughing.

Also… imagine flying a plane through that.

Looks like something straight out of a physics textbook.

If this doesn’t remind you of Ukraine drone footage, I don’t know what will.

Do they land exactly where they took off from, even with wind?

Good question! They probably do since these shows use positioning beacons and sensors that are way more accurate than built-in GPS.
