latest news Welcome back to the Defense news channel. The service recently awarded the company a contract for the purchase of two of these stealthy low-cost uncrewed aircraft as part of a previously unknown program called the Penetrating Affordable Autonomous Collaborative Killer. The U.S. Air Force, the only currently known user of the XQ-58A, has been using its Valkyries for various test purposes, including projects that are feeding into the classified Collaborative Combat Aircraft program. The Kratos XQ-58 Valkyrie is an experimental stealthy unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) designed and built by Kratos Defense & Security Solutions for the United States Air Force Low Cost Attritable Strike Demonstrator (LCASD) program, under the USAF Research Laboratory’s Low Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology (LCAAT) project portfolio. It was initially designated the XQ-222. The Valkyrie successfully completed its first flight on 5 March 2019 at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. .Defense News is a YouTube channel dedicated to military world lover.

Šuška se da bi ih Ukrajina mogla nekoliko dobiti za testiranje 1/1. 
Nema obrane od njih ako djeluju u roju, međusobno povezani i  vođeni umjetnom inteligencijom.

Američka mornarica je kupila dva primjerka, s cijenom svaki po $15.5 milijuna. 
S druge strane čitam podatak od proizvođača, vele da je cijena primjerka $6.5 milijuna.
Zanimljivo je i to da mu ne trebaju staze za polijetanje, može se ih montirati čak i na Patrije.
Kupiš 100 primjeraka i ne trebaju ti Rafalei.

Iz gornjih video materijala doznajem da je cijena XQ-58A Valkyrie
za američku vojsku  2-3 milijuna mameričkih dolara po komadu.
Hrvatska bi kod strateškog partnera mogla iskamčiti istu cijenu
na konto vojne pomoći koja se upravo šalje Ukrajini. 
Računam na'prste da bi to bilo cca 100 komada ovih dronova.
Iz zadnjeg videa se vidi kako bi bili veoma učinkoviti  kao pedhodnica  
Rafaleima, s kojima bi bili umreženi. Tako se ne "troše" piloti.
A ni Rafalei, jelda.
