You can bet on that.
And you cannot be sure whether it’s justified or not :)

The price is irrelevant because this is will be purchased with government dollars. This drone is not for you and me; it is intended to be used against you and me.
Just read the actual product page. They are targeting military, law enforcement, and surveillance applications. These guys have a heading on their product page titled “paramilitary,” for fuck’s sake.

They better be shielded really well against EMF.

They don’t have to be; they’re radio controlled. Figuring out what frequency they’re on and blasting it should be trivial, if necessary.

That’s the true cost of decades of protectionist demagoguery disguised as “national security”.
