For being such a high tech military drone, the promotional video is really really bad

It's like watching a drivers ed video from the 80s that kills terrorists

The video surprised me to, so I took a closer look at this weapons system. The promotional material looks like it came straight out of the eighties because it does. According to wikipedia[0] this is a late eighties tech. Maybe it'd make sense to add that somewhere to the submission?

It's not really a new weapon.
