    I think the idea is that you ride the track to extend the range of the drone since train tracks are much more efficient than flying in terms of battery usage.

      Ahhh, that would be much better. Though a drone wide enough to straddle a Russian rail gauge sounds pretty beefy. I guess it’d already be a serious affair, if it’s carrying enough munitions to delete a train in motion.

      I still think it’d be simpler and smarter to plant time-bombs on top of trains and fly back.
