The thing has very limited endurance, something like 10 to 12 minutes at best, and a 10 something mile maximum range.
He has to refuel just to make the 22 mile trip across the Channel.
It also has a limited lift capacity, so what you saw was about it as far as load out goes.
Also, it is a bit on the noisy side, so much for sneaking up on someone flying one of those things.
For that to be practical, they would have to "swarm" a position with many of those hoverboards, to be effective.
And the Wright brothers flew 100 feet, more or less, carrying the same cargo as this hoverboard. And 10 years later armies were using them (bi-planes) to drop stuff on other armies. It's only a matter of time.
