So far even stupid simple drones like Orlan have a sticker price of $100K despite being <$10K BOM and wide availability of suitable civilian open source software and hardware packages. ardupilot PX4 Paparazzi MultiWii Cleanflight Betaflight OpenPilot BetaPilot, the list goes on and on and on. You can easily build $200-300 decoy drones (no RX radio, pre programmed flight plan) pretending to be Bayraktar (suitable radar reflectors) and just flood Donbas with 20-50 launches per day spending less in four months than cost of one real Bayraktar. Such operation would probably deplete Russian AA ammo stock in less than a month, not to mention successfully screen real UAV deployments. Russia deploys E95M decoy drones, but only in singular quantities aimed at baiting SAMs to reveal their positions. Ukraine even dug out ancient TU-143 drones for that purpose, but again, single units. Aerorozvidka is a good attempt at manufacturing domestically cheap reliable alternatives to primary military contractor offerings. But it still looks to be low volume specialized affair.
