According to the graphic in the article the US clone is 35k a pop where the low end estimate of the production cost of Shaheds is 20k a pop.
Having it assembled by someone who makes slightly over 11 cents an hour probably has something to do with that.
China’s making them for us? 😉
I stand corrected.
