What about landing the drones in a hung position between exposed electrical power transmission wires? Like lurking death bats.

Unlimited lurk time, and they could just activate and be flown off home if the power goes out for too long.

They would need a way of lowering the input voltage, but it can probably be done.

there is a demo for powerline maintenance that does just that! it only needs to hang on to one wire too. quite a bit bigger than the fpv attack drones ukraine is using though.

That's awesome confirmation. It's able to pull 50 W of power just off of one wire. The clamp mechanism is a bit big, but it can probably be left behind when it goes after a target.

The future is going to be scary.
