    Those 12 dollar ones are less than 100 grams and are using WiFi and would not really put a dent in that drone. Maybe you fan fly it at the props of the survalience drone, but I doubt you can even reach the altitude the survalience drones where meant to run on.

    You need a 5 inch frame, and you’re gonna want fpv if youre doing dog fights. A decent 5 inch frame you build yourself is around 400 with the camera, transmitter, flight controller, motors, props, battery, etc. The radio and fpv head set you can get for maybe 200, but you really want spend around 600 for those.

    That and most of the “real” drones that arent just some bullshit dji consumer friendly drone don’t fly easily. You get horizon, level, and acro. Acro is the mode you will actually use to fly, and you want at minimum a good 10-20 hours to be proficient enough to just hover/puts around without crashing. I’d say hitting another moving target is some where between 40-80 hours.

      How accurate is that one drone simulator, Liftoff, I think? It bills itself as being accurate to life physics.
