USA is still living in 2000's era in terms of drone prices as their private companies are charging much over it. however turkey proved a low cast drone can even put high scale anti aircraft system to shame. Chinese and turkey armed drones have flooded the market

USA has no other choice but to sell it to some of its partners or NATO allies or india who will take pride of "brand" buying.

USA can earn from operation and maintaince + parts cost.
