Pretty lightly sourced, but WTF. $216m for a UAV? Does it have a Lo-Jack in it to keep it from being hacked by Iranians?

Is this just some negotiation tactic with Northrup?
I do think that UAVs jumped the shark awhile ago. I think the strategy of lots of low end UAVs is better than a few expensive eggs in our basket.
Anyone here have better insight into what is going on here?
