Notes
ICDS traces original Forpost to licensed Searcher II production; HUR identifies UZGA with Forpost-R and classifies it as strike/reconnaissance. They are related configurations, not identical aircraft. No dimensions or payload limits are transferred between them here. ICDS cites Russian and other reporting; HUR is a party to the war. The cited multi-aircraft/licensing contract values are not aircraft unit prices; no valid unit estimate supplied.
