After the announcement there are two questions that quickly come to mind.
One: Is it worth spending so much money on these one shot targets? Surely at our level of technology and logistical pull we could create and field low cost, high speed/mobility drones.
Two: Would it be feasible, and probably more cost effective, to convert these Trainers into Attack Drones rather than Targets?
Three: With the US contracts to foreign Nations, would they not be able to sell these surplus aircraft for pure gain?
