        The center section and the engine of such a UAV cost five times less than the installed electronics.
        Accordingly, to sell UAVs with someone else's electronics is to have zero earnings.

            I can just teach the rules of trading ...
            At a loss, illiquid assets are sold / almost overdue.
            In order to get at least some money from goods that no one needs, freeing up warehouses and shelves for more popular goods. So that the freed up money could already be used much more reasonably for liquid groups of goods.


            Here, in this example.
            The sale of the center section + motor - + foreign EO components, carries a bunch of hemorrhoids for designing the layout of equipment compartments, recalculating the weight distribution, Compatibility of the existing avionics "aircraft" with foreign EO components ...

            There are a lot of actual costs that will never be recouped in export sales.

            You would study how we sold and how much we earned on the "Indian A-50EI AWACS", which has an Israeli avionics ...

              3 aircraft - 1,1 billion dollars (2/3 of the cost - Israeli avionics and optics)
              It turns out that about 360 lamas went to the Russian Federation.
              And this is the cost of more than one A50, if we pushed our A50 to someone.
              On an open infe, the cost of the IL-76 is about 50-8 times less than the cost of the A10.
              That is, for three aircraft without avionics and radar, they received 360 greenery.
              Well, it means that it’s not acidic.

                What a strange math you have.
                Three aircraft were assembled in Tashkent, Tashkent received the money for them from the reserves of Tashkent.
                We had them in Taganrog not finalized.
                The contract price is indeed 1.1 billion, but this is a contract between India and Israel for equipment and equipment only.
                The aircraft contract was separate.
                Israel through Russia, but in Uzbekistan bought 3 Ila.
                The contract price is about 400 thousand for 3 aircraft.
                Ours there is only PS-90 and minor improvements in Taganrog.
                This is all that Russia got.


                And where did you get that 2/3 of the cost is electronics?
                In this case, 4/5 ...


                The next contract from 16 years, the equipment is already 700 million per set.
                And 150 per plane.
