#1 Building a drone is easy. Making one that is a useful military tool instead of one for population control is hard.

That drone is not stealthy, is slow and can be blown out of the sky very easily (as the Iranians found out after they killed some of their own drones by accident... see strategypage.com for details) and most likely can be jammed with little effort.

I would agree that this is mostly for show and bluster. And maybe Kurd killing.
