$60k, 5min flight time or you can run an extension cord to it that's hooked up to a generator. Cool beans!

Cause ya know, flares haven't existed for over a hundred years or anything.
The long burning parachute flares have to be dropped from an aircraft. The ones you launch from the ground only provide about 30 seconds of light.
Yeah but howitzers are even more expensive :(
this will be really useful when the government needs to flush out refugees, dissidents and resistance members. no more using darkness to hide from the automated kill bots and private security patrols, purging the countryside will be so much easier without having to fiddle with pesky night vision optics!
The killbots will just use thermal, way harder to hide from and relatively cheap if you care about quanitity and netoworking more than quality.
Cue the rise in reports of UFO sightings in 3.. 2.. 1.
