        Really well done, why reinvent the "bicycle" when it is possible to create an acceptable drone based on copying existing samples now. But if Russia had such samples, it would surely have saved several lives of our Russian pilots!

      But I wonder, why did Iraq buy them? What would give Americans an opportunity to compare?

    And we will try our own for a couple of decades! We fly into each of a million hours, and again, we will begin to experience other options, a couple of decades.

    Probably because these devices are almost disposable and we don’t need it - for us it’s expensive, but it’s of little use.
