Every drone competes favourably with Chinook on cost. What you are comparing is capability, not cost, and by definition you cannot have an unmanned helicopter

To be honest, your reply is so disingenuous that I wonder if you're trolling?

Technically the space shuttle had limited autopilot capabilities so you could see it as a drone carrying humans, one of which happens to be a pilot who will control it at other times, but that's just a coincidence. And it was way expensive. You fool, you absolute fool. And anyway, what is a fly-by-wire system, but a drone that is piloted remotely... for very small definitions of "remote." I dunno. I don't think there's any productive discussion possible with people who are (for some reason) willing to ignore context and widen your claims so you can be wrong.
