Around $250K per drone. Pretty cheap, tbh.

Are one way kamikaze drones reusable?

You fly them to the target, crash them into the target and they explode.

What do you think?

Its not unreasonable to assume an average IQ individual would understand what "one way" means.

Classic tigerdroppings.

2 wildly different answers, zero credibility, both spoken with outright confidence.

The Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS) drone, a U.S.-produced, one-way attack drone, costs approximately $35,000 per unit. These drones are designed for high-volume, autonomous, and long-range missions in the Middle East. Produced by SpektreWorks, they serve as a low-cost, disposable alternative to expensive, traditional missiles...

from TWZ - $35k

quote:

“Costing approximately $35,000 per platform, LUCAS is a low-cost, scalable system that provides cutting-edge capabilities at a fraction of the cost of traditional long-range U.S. systems that can deliver similar effects,” Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins, a CENTCOM spokesperson, told TWZ back in December. “The drone system has an extensive range and the ability to operate beyond line of sight, providing significant capability across CENTCOM’s vast operating area.”
