Where would the flight controllers, fibre optic equipment, cameras, ESCs, motors, props, and batteries come from? Firearms are comparatively easy to construct, and other techniques commonly used by forces in a similar situation can have comparable utility to drones with much simpler logistical inputs.

    Don't need fibre optic unless you're doing something like illegal-to-say.

    Almost all of these parts are hobby shop acquirable in cash over the counter. Which makes things basically untraceable. The biggest benefit though is really bringing the cost down to parts, because for the average person that wants to do something like this the cost is the barrier for something that's a one-shot use.

    Gyroscope and the central PCB are fairly specialised bits of equipment which are not something I've ever seen in a hobby store myself but you're correct on the rest of the parts. I expect the PCB and gyroscope to become heavily controlled and purchases of those to be scrutinized/monitored by state intelligence services in the near future if not already. You can build really cheap drones with open source kits already
