There’s also a problem of controlling it. Cut the comms between the pilot and the drone and it’s back to being a usual shahed. They already tried this setup with an R-60, same shit different weapon platform.
I think the bigger issue is aiming. I don’t think MANPADS have a huge targeting arc and your not attacking these head on so aiming has got to be a neigh impossible with latency / input lag.
