how do they control these? I imagine each drone doesn't come with its own remote

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.

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.
