Mislim da je sasvim dobro rešenje za nadzor dugačkih granica i većih akvatorija (recimo poput ITA ili ESP), te švercerskih trasa, a može odraditi i još neke zadatke. Značajan vek zmaja, relativno jeftin sat leta... Jedino ostaje pitanje cene, jer 15 miliona deluje primamljivo, a 20 već mnogo za mnoge potencijalne korisnike.
