Iran should consider that their GDP would be a lot higher if they paid 70k for the same drone.

Iran should open source the design and put it on a git somewhere
it's been extremely funny watching them rack up wins with the drone equivalent of a walking target. i'm pretty sure shahed drones are slow enough to stop with like a machine gun. IRGC continuing to just win.
it's basically a flying lawn-mower. and it's beautiful
I need this ape and text overlayed on a shahed calmly destroying US military infrastructure
"Vaccine for rustled jimmies"
Jimmies unrustled, at peace.
I am an ignorant American but I also find language interesting. Where I'm from we call it a lawn mower and I've never considered the fact that would be because Americans are stupid and think we must have lawns.
Is it called a land mower elsewhere?
no, well where i live its called "grass-cutter", but that "land mower" is a typo 
I've seen of air defense in Ukraine talking about how in the radar it goes as high and as fast as a truck
As high... as a truck.
like two meters?
Could be alluding to the fact that these drones fly quite low for aircraft, reducing their radar detection range.
I mean that's how they're shooting them down in the UAE. Helicopters with their guns are tracking and then shooting down drones. So you're right.
Damn... if everyone on hexbear pitched in a couple bucks, we could get one of our own.
You need two so you can use one to prove that you're serious.
Its like how a bunch of reddits got that gun turret for 
Who would win? Our Shahed-136 or 
le epic turret
I knew that the drones were much cheaper than what was reported...
But I didn't want to say anything without solid evidence lest it sound like copium.
I knew too, but didn't want to say anything to not ruin their plan
$7000 for a 20 years old car? In the most car- brained nation on earth? The US truly has nothing for it (for reference, french's Craigslist has €2000 cars on it)
price parity with the casual American's lifted truck
That's obviously bullshit, everyone knows even hammers cost more than that!
