How Much Does It Cost to Fly a Military Drone | WION Podcast

Описание: Military drones may appear highly sophisticated, but they can cost far less to operate than manned fighter aircraft. The MQ-9 Reaper reportedly flies for a fraction of the hourly cost of an F-16, while even larger surveillance drones remain cheaper than comparable crewed platforms. Removing cockpits, life-support systems and onboard pilots reduces weight, fuel use and training expenses. However, every mission still depends on satellite links, advanced sensors and large ground teams working behind the scenes. This episode examines the true economics of drone warfare and why cheaper flight hours do not always mean inexpensive operations.
