Isn't the point of those kind of drones to be cheap?
You can make them cheap by buying boatloads of them. And nationalize components to the max so money stays in the country.

Or even if you don't, having the capability is very good as the know-how is transferrable.

To top it off, it can be used in niche cases by special forces even if it is never produced in the thousands.

MKE unveiled its foldable-wing loitering munitions product family at the IDEF 2025 Fair. Scaled prototypes of three different munitions were presented at the fair, each developed for use on the battlefield with anti-jammer capabilities.

The fiber-optic cable-driven loitering munition system is capable of carrying a 5 kg high-explosive (HE) warhead and a steel ball warhead, with a total mass of 20 kg. The platform, which operates with an effective range of 40 km, is equipped with RF search capabilities. Its primary objective on the battlefield is to destroy jammer systems.

The electric-powered loitering munition is equipped with a 5 kg steel ball and a high-explosive (HE) warhead. It has a 30-minute flight endurance and a maximum speed of 150 km/h. This system can transmit via SLP (note: I have no idea what this is and what was written in the article makes no sense) and can be integrated with the Inertial Navigation System (INS). The munition, which operates with an effective range of 40 km, carries a GPS guidance kit with an electric or electromechanical fuse.

The turbine-jet-powered loitering munition is equipped with a 20 kg warhead and a total mass of 60 kg. With a maximum speed of 300 km/h, this system was developed to deliver high performance in a cost-effective manner. It has the capacity to carry 18 kg high explosive (HE) and steel ball warhead.
