Enough to give WWII bomber crews nightmares, for sure.

Interesting . . . a bit curious as to what the effect a fireworks shell impact against the drone would have had ... some shots looked like the drone was very close.

The odds are probably in the drone's favor - lots of airspace up there! They are also stabilized, so any shock wave would not harm it - it will recoup. You'd have to actually do some physical harm to it.

Here's a vid I made yesterday of Rhode Island. This is a stabilized camera - very nice (I am testing it - it's not mine).....
Make it full screen. The original is better quality - vimeo compressed it.

I dunno- looked like some close shots there- wouldn't take too much of that debris that fireworks create to jam up a rotor

I guess some don't survive....
