Of course they aren’t to be compared to a consumer or commercial drone with a camera. There’s shit going in there that we have no idea the cost to develop and deploy.
That being said - it’s still a fucking ripoff.
And as for Israel, it’s good we have an ally in that part of the world but subsidizing them to the tune of billions per year...not a fan.
But then again - I don’t think the US should be giving anyone any foreign aid, until we can get our own house in order.
We are like the ‘rich uncle’ who takes a credit card loan to buy his nephew a new car, while his own son doesn’t even have a fucking pair of shoes.
