Exactly ,
Mass produced consumer version at wholesale, $950
Military version 10x.
Not 100x.
What an overpriced, obsolete, low-spec piece of junk.
This is like 2022 baby steps DIY crap level.
Give up and pay Sternenko to do it right. They already have battlefield results with higher speeds, more range, costs ~100x lower, and mass production nearing 10k per month and rising.
On crowdfunding. With a contract to supply DOD, you'd see even better numbers.

Typical US military procurement. Take something that should cost $4-6000 and pay $100000 for it.
This is a great example of how the US will outspend everyone on defense and end up with dangerously less. What do you think China is spending on similar loitering munitions? How many do you think they can manufacture in a week? What does the US currently field to defend against one of these. or ten of these, or ten thousand of these?
