Elbit Hermes 900 vs Thales Watchkeeper WK450

Watchkeeper was derived from the Hermes 450 lineage, while the Hermes 900 is Elbit's own next step up. With the UK fleet retired, the pairing is a case study in how derivative-nationalization strategies compare against buying the manufacturer's current product.
