The little Red Star RC car makes a damn good image for the Gaz-Niki Snooper drone, if you ask me. The WA minitanks make decent Doberman variants.
I also love the WA recon/suicide attack flyer. I even built it according to R3R rules. Cute thingy.
The idea of Drone Technican in Frontlines is very appealing. Nicely done too ...
Hey, can you get me screens of the WA air defense tank and fighter jet, and the Red Star fighter jet, scout car and apc?

I think even with lowered prices most terrorists would have a hard time running sophisticated combat drones. Also if you can buy five planes for the price of one I think you would do so. After all the Pentagon always invasions a lot of planes it seems, and then cuts back because they cost an arm, leg, and first born child apiece.
... and it costs arms, legs and firstborns because the Pentagon wants all those extra gimmicks like RAM coating, light carbon fibre frames, and all the drivers, electronics and whatnot for their smart biombs and missiles, and so on ...
Also, the V2 was horribly ureliable and, though that mechanic flight control was clever, it was so slow none would get past modern fighter jets. The V2 was reasonably effective (though actually, it's use didn't gain the Germans anything) back in the day. Today, it'd be on the level of the Kajusha rockets Hamas uses. It'd not have anything remotely close to the accuracy of a tomahawk missile. The V2 was lucky to hit a Megacity like London. A tomahawk is supposed to hit a single car, fired over the same distance. Of course, this also makes the Tomahawk a tad more expensive, since it's got to use more advanced parts than fire engine pumps.
Finally, on NASA and it's expensive probes ... sure, building thousands of MArs rovers would cut down dramatically on single-unit prices. But since all thousands of rovers would have to be bought by someone, would the money spent really be less than on one single, expensive rover?
