Imagine an eye in the sky that can tirelessly keep watch for up to 36 hours straight. These drones, armed with satellite communication prowess, can not only maintain a constant presence but can also lock onto enemy targets from astounding distances. This enables our fighter jets to obliterate threats using their long-range weaponry, with these drones guiding them to the precise coordinates.
