*One-way attack drones described as „cruise missiles“ were listed on the popular online retail platform Alibaba for less than $50,000.*
*Sellers described these long-range fixed-wing drones, similar in design to those used by Iran to attack nearby Gulf states, as suitable for „aerial mapping“.*
*But the same sellers‘ PDF sales catalogues, obtained by the ABC through the Alibaba platform, made it clear the drones were also designed for war.*
*After being notified, Alibaba removed the listings and said it suspended the sellers‘ accounts.*

This is why the US Israel / Iran war makes little sense. Ukraine has shown that a protracted modern day conflict just deteriorated into a drone arms race. The US cannot keep up its aerial superiority without going broke.
I feel like seeing these things pop up on Alibaba should be an indication that war is now an antiquated idea.
