Isn't it at a cost that shows his desperation, and one that has to be strictly short-term ? If one believes numerous sources, he is paying the equivalent of $ 1. 2 million ( in Mig 29 deliveries ) for Shehad drones valued at $ 20 000. It will be interesting to see if the delivery of the Migs really takes place when one considers the promises of Ladas for the families of fallen Russian troops which seems to have been downgraded to an armful of towels/sheets.
