Is the spin just for show? I can’t think of a benefit it would provide in a straight shot like that.

It might be for show, but I can also see that this makes it a more difficult target to hit.

Honestly, with drone operators running with soon to be years of experience with these kamikaze drones, I imagine it just might be nothing but straight up flexing for the videos at this point

It might have been for flare or it might have been to guarantee avoiding the roof/getting closer to the ground. I’m not claiming either but at those speeds it can be hard to drop without slowing down a lot

It helps to get lower, but they were screwed regardless.
