What is the benefit of copter drones flying that high?
I would expect they’re way too slow to intercept jets or missiles. Is it just a cool demonstration?
Russian reconnaissance UAVs
Can I assume all the clips end because they exploded?
Intel.
They likely primarily act as a signal relay for other drones. We've seen some videos of FPS drones attacking artillery and ammo storage. These are likely many miles behind the enemy lines. Well out of line-of-sight for a ground based platform.
Trying to detect a small drone at high altitudes has got to be close to impossible for radar systems.
