I think the eqiupment onboard it is high end like camera, rx, battery, and well 20 Lakhs is nothing for the department of defense i bet our community can make a much better one for 1 - 2 lakhs with long range capabilities and stuff. They reiterate that the frame is carbon fiber composites, so i think the frame is either a carbon-carbon composite instead of the usual carbon polymer ones or it is a higher K fiber composite than usual.

Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

after using carbon composites the weight is still 1.5kg. lol.
30 mins flight time is great
carbon fiber is bad for rf.

The costs in most govt. sectors are normally 20X .... where X is the actual cost of the product.. no offense to anyone but its the harsh reality. It's the case in most of the govt departments, even in Military...
