Az árra igaz, hogy csak pletyka / kiszivárgott infóként utal, de a BMW-s összehasonlítás eléggé meggyőzött, hogy hetvenezer dollárra gondolt. Persze ettől még lehet rossz az infója.
Kis adalék a drónfelhasználáshoz.... Napi sajtóhír volt, hogy miután Allah-hoz küldött az USAF Pakisztánban egy adag dzsihahadistát, a pakisztáni kormány éles hangú közleményben elítélte ezt, és felszólította az Egyesült Államokat, hogy ezt azonnal fejezze be.
Aztán haál a modernmédiának az összes hippi ugyanezt szajkózta világszerte...
Csak az iszlamabadi kormány EZT például elfelejtette megemlíteni:

On April 23, 2021, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) demonstrated enhanced situational awareness and targeting capability for ground forces during a company-funded technology demonstration at Yuma Proving Grounds, Ariz.
The first flight of Gray Eagle 25M focused on flight critical operations, including the testing of the improved flight computer boasting 5X more processing capacity and 80X more data storage (with 10X more RAM) for increased computing power that enables processing at the edge, as well as meeting the demand for increased automation and autonomy. The flight tested the aircraft’s new HFE 2.0 engine and power generation systems. Designed in cooperation with Project Manager Endurance Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (PM EUAS), the new engine, gearbox, and generator design decreases major maintenance actions and virtually eliminates the need for overhaul.
The Heavy Fuel Engine (HFE) 2.0, featuring a new GA-ASI-designed gear box and dual brushless generators from General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS), is designed to bring the engine and all ancillary components to 2,500 hours between scheduled overhauls and greatly increase maintenance-free operational periods.
On May 16, 2024, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) completed durability testing for its new 200-horsepower heavy fuel engine at its El Mirage, California, flight facility.
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) logged another aviation milestone on Nov. 12, 2024, when its Gray Eagle STOL aircraft took off from a South Korean warship and landed at a ground base – the first-ever such mission for an aircraft of this type.

Procurement of the MQ-1C Gray Eagle for the U.S. Army may end as part of a wide-ranging force-structure overhaul, which raises questions about whether the service may look to retire the fleet sooner than expected. This comes as the drone’s manufacturer continues to develop modernized versions of the Gray Eagle, as well as add new equipment and capabilities.
South Korean-built Gray Eagle STOL drones will be offered to the local armed forces, as well as the U.S. military and other customers. South Korean-built Gray Eagle STOL drones will be offered to the local armed forces, as well as the U.S. military and other customers.
