I had to get a few screen shots of the DJI Mavic 3 drone. Apparently Ukraine is purchasing these for military use as per an article that came out. Enjoy.

The Mavic 3 Enterprise is a phenomenal tool for aerial mapping. The step up in efficiency from previous generation drones like the Mavic 2 Pro or Inspire 2 is huge. The Enterprise is also RTK capable.They've been used for a few years in Iraq for recon. My company was going to use them for aerial/drone surveying for large and hard to reach areas like underground sewer systems.
The Ukrainians lose 10,000 FPV drones per month, the Russians even more. At $1,000 per drone it's $10m per month. Pretty cheap. A Leopard 2 is $6m and can be blown up with 3 FPV-s. A T-90 is $4.5m and can't be blown up with an FPV but is routinely disabled with a hit on the engine.Here is something on the lifting capability of the Mavic 3. They divide the payload into 3 sections and it looks like two sections can be used for weapons. Total is 4.5 kg. A more expensive version can carry 6.5 kg.
