The drones are to be used for surveillance of Guyana porous borders,where lots of illegal activities are happening.
Saw they working pun the Electricity.

A report is surfacing that PNC bought this drone in anticipation that they will use it to find oil. Dem rass got conned big time. I heard dat Phagwali did the Research before approving the technical specs of this overpriced drone.
Ramjattan also seh dat he will use the drone to prove dat Charandas took a bribe.

School Boards are the worse for spending tax payers money. They remind me of the coalition and free trips to the Caribbean court.

At leads they are not buying them from a barber shop as the PPP when the planned to secure the barbers therein for the purchases of a few thousands of laptops computers in their highly suspect laptop for every child policy. The reality is our governments are practiced in the art of the graft. Every procurement act is a graft opportunity. Even welding rods ( at the sugar estates) were being unbundled and procured at exorbitant costs. They fired the guy who complained about the scheme!
These fellows built the machines. They obviously have talent to do what ordinary RC folks could do for years in this arena. Building drones is easy. The tech is adding functionality, mapping, remote viewing, distance control flying etc to them. These fellows seem to have been able to do all of that. The design however, is not scalable. They deserve the 180K more than our PPP barbers in their time.
Nehru, they are obviously not dumb if the are selling high priced toys to ur government.
DUMB FOOLS = PNC Bhai
Stormy, I will forever protest arguments that PPP did this and that cause I spoke out vigorously against that deal and the Outhouse maker that was given 15 Million US!!
Hey hey hey...me labba sure dem PNC bais in Brooklyn get lil kickback and lickback foh dis deal...hey hey hey.

Yes, dear Sir...ohhhhh Yes...tis I!
You see, this morning as I sat there on the throne while checking GNI, I saw those dummies being their usual selves..asinine. I gave them both a swift tongue lashing and moved onto greater things.
Oh yeah, as I sat there on the throne, I imagined those fellas in general, just a tad below my butt.

The Guyana Defence Force could have purchased several airplanes for the amount of money it used to purchase five drones, according to local aviator, Captain Gerry Gouveia.
The GDF needs drones but $180M could have bought several of these planes instead.
The local expert in an invited comment yesterday weighed in on the ‘drone debacle’ that has engulfed the GDF in recent days. He said that a twin-engine islander plane could have been purchased.Investigations by this publication have found that the airplane could be had for less than US$100,000. Speaking directly to the use of drones by the GDF and its decision to make the purchase, Captain Gouveia—himself a former high ranking officer—told Kaieteur News, “There are different levels and types of drone technology used for different purposes and missions.”
He said drones used as an eye in the sky above troops in operation allow the commanders to enjoy a commanding aerial view of his surroundings and even to allow him the advantage of seeing forward of his troop movement.
Local Aviation expert Captain Gerry Gouveia
The cost of drones like these could run to between US$3,000 and US$5,000.
He did note that there are unmanned drones with long range and long endurance capabilities to patrol the border regions of Guyana. These are controlled by satellites while transmitting high definition photos and video back to a command center hundreds of miles away. These types of drones, Gouveia noted, could run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. He did note that the helicopters referred to by this publication in a comparison of the prices paid were not apt for military use but that the drones purchased could have certainly be had at a cheaper cost.
Investigations by Kaieteur News have revealed that the army could have purchased, alternatively, several helicopters for the price it paid for five drones.
One such helicopter, a Robinson R44 helicopter currently in use by at least one local operator can be purchased for a base list price of US$367,000. Guyana could have purchased three of these helicopters for the price it paid for the drones. Kaieteur News understands there are currently three pilots in Guyana qualified to fly such helicopters for the Army, and are without work.
PNC just thief a whole lot of money ? People will start questioning the timing !
