For the Nth time. If anyone so much as hints at politics they're gone.

para 1: "These were set to detonate once the unit had been turned on, injuring and potentially incapacitating, or killing, the drone pilot."

para 2: "Since they were set to detonate once the goggles had been activated, it almost certainly guarantees that a drone pilot might have been wearing them when the explosive charge detonated."

I expect better article conciseness, not padding, as seen here.

This along with the pager adulteration really bothers me.

I am following quite a few Russian Telegram channels, never ever mentioned this.

I enjoy flying FPV. I have a few drones myself.

I see the incongruity, but when I read the first one. I didn't think about when it was first powered on but instead when it gets worn. I've only got experience with meta quest 2 but figured they would have something setup for when the internal screen lights up which usually happens when the headset detects being worn.

Weird it is reported the drones were humanitarian support.

But no matter as I am sure the packaging issues will be solved, so that in future shipments the intended uses will enjoy the full feature sets of the FPVs.

Opening and repacking isn't easy. It may the best to simply redo it rather than try to fix necessary tears and the like.
