Ukraine

I Think a lot of these drones are consumer based drones so yeah they often do come with their own hardware to control it. Though I imagine the Ukrainians are hacking the drones somewhat to rewrite things to shoot them.

I’ve also seen simple tech like the steam deck get used which is interesting.

Well if it's anything like radiomaster controllers, you can program certain buttons to do whatever you'd like. I'm assuming pulling a trigger for a gun is possible.
