You can't make fun of the Chinese, now you are at the same level. Mutts can't innovate HAHAHAHA

the shahed 136 is a copy of the isaeli IAI Harpy (90s) which is a copy of the german DAR drone (80s)

They unironically had to pick the scraps up off the ground to re-engineer this shit...

>low cost
In Ameritard that translates to 20 billion dollars

>>510651058 (OP)
Another picture. I wonder how capable it is compared to the Shahed. The Iranians have had them being used in actual war so they will have had a lot of bug fixes and upgrades while the American drone is new but being American made is likely to include more advanced (though untested) technology.

Cope Cage: check
Shahed: check

what's next, motorcycle mounted fast attack troops?

why can't ground artillery simply not calculate the path of a drone and shoot it down?

what a gay looking drone
literally looks like it was designed to hunt down asses and insert itself

>>510651058 (OP)
The US DoD does not do "low cost".
Bloated budgets and kickbacks is the name of the game.

>>510651461
Funny story about that ... Israel sold the Harpy to China which then sold them to Iran making every Shahed attack on Israel a self inflicted wound.

>>510651058 (OP)
what's it actually cost?

>>510655877
$30k apparently.

that will be 5 million taxpayer dollar per drone, thanks you

>>510651058 (OP)
Not surprising since the military industrial complex was seemingly unable to produce a drone that costed less than 40 million.

>>510656029
My Lockheed Martin stock is going crazy. Keep paying your taxghmkvges bois :)

>>510656029
For comparison the Shahed 136 is said to cost $30-35k. So about the same if not slightly more expensive.

Cringe.

The next? Using backpacks full of antitank mines instead of CQC to clear urban buildings

>>510656481
that's cope, western "experts" also estimated decoys run 50k a piece in ukraine
what I don't get is why not just make these in a government factory and just pay production costs
it's one thing when you need some massive R&D for some multidimensional hypergen megajet or whatever, but this should be easily achievable

who the fuck is jewing who in this spiderman meme tier fuckery??

Real talk we will just put our sensors and datalinks in these things and will have them flying through HVT's bathroom windows and you know its true, everyone knows its true

People with geopolitical agendas are going to kick out the greedy profiteers.

Why do Iranians cope so hard? The US literally flew 2 bombers and nuked whatever they wanted with nuclear grade missiles all across the world map.
And there was not a single thing you could do against it.
Sit down and shut up bitch.

>>510651058 (OP)
>cant make fun of the chinese.
Lols chinese tech so bad that we didnt even bother coping them we copied Iran. Lols how much bigger of a loser could china be

get actually funny material.

>>510651058 (OP)
Seriously, they just outright copied it?
The Russians at least bought the fucking thing from Iran.

The pilot ejected at the first warning light and the plane continue to fly for another 80 miles. He isn't flying ever again is he.

I am sorry moshe, but business is business, I hope you understand.

Nigger I graduated USN FC A school, learned all about ballistic trigonometry, computing fire control solutions, windage adjustment calculations, atmospheric occlusion correction you name it. I can literally give a ballistic firing solution for an iowa class battleship's 16inch guns with a pencil, a rangefinder, a gyro compass and a ti-82 graphing calculator down to a 6 meter CEP. We NEVER used that knowledge or education because we had multimillion dollar radar guided FCS to calculate all that shit for us, and we still missed like a motherfucker all the time with the 5" gun. MK15 was barely better and that little nigga had a 10k yard engagement envelope. There are so many uncontrollable variables and every variance from the second the projectile leaves the barrel is amplified by an order of magnitude based on distance and projectile speed. Let that drone deviate 1/10th of 1 degree ONLY after the projectile leaves the barrel and at 5 miles and 2700fps you are missing by a country mile. The only way to down drones and missiles at range is with other guided missiles or to get super close with a fighter jet for a gun kill within visual range and I am talking like 100yards away depending size of the target. If you really wanna talk about something exciting, and deadly capable go look up the aim-174b gunslinger(aka the AT&T reach out and touch someone) air launched variant of the SM-6. Now I will not get into classified shit here but believe me when I tell you the SM-6 is a real God tier missile, and chinkies gonna be getting murked from 300+ miles out. And before these /k/ warthunder faggots start mouthing off their retard shit, believe me when I tell you the 174b has some nasty nasty nasty tricks up its sleeves for those chinkoid commie bugs who think they can steal their way to parity with the USN. It will be worse because bugs can't swim and the Pacific has nasty sharks

>>510656029
$30k is the cost of making a phone call for DoD. The drone are going to be at least $1M when everything is said and done.

Thanks for the info.

>>510655526
but they get paid for those self inflicted wounds so all is good
everybody's happy(except for the guy who got hit by the drone)

>>510651058 (OP)
Why spend all that money to make drones that can't even hover? Less capability, more expensive... Seems stupid

>>510658400
>he

>>510656029
Yikes, should be under $300 per drone...lol we are so fucked.

The federal reserve put JFK's head on the 2022 half dollar.
Right after covid, they were celebrating what they did and what they "achieved" worldwide.
The healthcare empire is the rothschilds'.
That's why it's all lies.
The meme isn't a joke, they literally invented modern currency.
Everyone is a slave to their loop.
