VTOL UP for airbrakes. A target drone conversion of the Hawk Fighter Mk 3A/B. As far back as when the Hawk Fighter was phased out of active service, the Pilotmario Air Force gave the Air Force Reserve the airframes with the lowest flight hours. The air frames with higher flight hours were either scrapped or turned into target drones. This practice continued until the Reserves phased out the Hawk.
The best airframes were sent to the Pilotmario Navy for conversion for use aboard escort carriers in order to replenish combat and operational losses. The worst airframes were either scrapped or cut for parts. A few of them became museum pieces, gate guardians, and put on pedestals in memorials. The rest, a total of 9,518 machines, were converted into target drones to train pilots and anti-aircraft gunners with the use of their missiles.
The aircraft is fitted with sensors in order to allow recovery in training exercises, although the most worn airframes are expended in live fire exercises. Although remotely operated, it retains a fully functional cockpit. In this form, it shall remain useful to the Pilotmario Air Force.

Deal. $400 per plane works. @SimpleTechAndResearch
@Pilotmario I can go as high as 400$
Whatever you'll pay for it. @SimpleTechAndResearch
Okay, I'll give 2 dollars to you for one drone. @Pilotmario
@SimpleTechAndResearch We have 3,450 left. You can have them for a dollar each.
Seriously. We don't want them.
And we'd like to buy a few thousand (10,010) How much would that cost?
@Pilotmario Okay
Simply so I can compare uploaded machines on the go. @SimpleTechAndResearch
Didn't know you had this game for iOS!
Thanks! @Liquidfox
Thanks! @Packman126
It's great
Great! Will $50,000 per kit do? @PINK
Around 4500 @Pilotmario
Great! How many kits do you need? @PINK
We will use old Mak-132s @Pilotmario
@PINK Pilotmario Defense Industries can send target drone conversion kits for any aircraft, provided that specifications are given. It would be cheaper to do that than send you converted airframes, for a total of eight kits could be sent in the space it takes to ship a Hawk. Anyways, it would be logistically easier for you to use your aircraft, as the use of the Hawk drone (which is reusable) would pose an additional logistical burden, since your air force does not operate the Hawk. The only reason why the Pilotmario Air Force undertook this conversion was because we had them on hand and they weren't useful to the Air Force.
Can we buy a few?
