The Global Hawk is decidely NOT a disposable system; it's meant to have a flying hour lifespan similar to comparable manned high-altitude recce systems, e.g. the U-2. And keep in mind that its pricetag also includes a chem warfare-hardened ground control station van and intrusion-safed data/comm link antenna suite.

BS - they are controlled in shifts, from {CENSORED}, as part of the national RECCE plan. The rest is smoke and mirrors.

I will make you the same offer I made another freeper, earlier today - I will sell you as many as you want, at $10 mil a copy.
If you can sell them to DoD for $25mil, keep the profit.
