A traditional system costs like $ 3.3 million I think. If Pakistan got discounts to $ 3 million each, then 5 systems, meaning 20 UAV's. If Boeing didn't give any discount but added technical support, parts, training, warranty and all, that would mean 4 systems, meaning 16 vehicles!!

Zarvan bhi we have many dronzz why we need American unless free

 

[Skywalker]

Well we would never learn and why do we need them if we can make them by ourselves, isn't it more feasible if we invest the same amount in our own industry which is as good as anyone around. Let see Ho is making the commission this time.

Two things :

1- We are not producing anything in the Scan Eagle category (nor do we have any known program currently in this category)

2- These are coming under Foreign Military Funding programme
