This close up picture goes to show you how large those drones actually are.

going off the grass and the fence I'd say 2m wingspan

Where's the banana for scale?

Everyone always underestimates how big drones are because they look so much like model aircraft

Specs for the USAF's main drone (MQ-9 Reaper):

  • Length: 36 ft 1 in (11 m)
  • Wingspan: 65 ft 7 in (20 m)
  • Height: 12 ft 6 in (3.81 m)
