FPV drones don’t suck if you know what you’re doing. If you don’t have proper training, you’re going to suck at it.

Sometimes you don’t have time and resources to train everyone to be great. Good enough will have to do.

> As a result, training a highly proficient operator can take months. A standard, base-level course for Ukrainian drone pilots takes about five weeks

No disagreement there, but the title states "FPV Drones Kind of Suck".
