If I had to find and destroy a concealed hezbollah bunker with a ‘robo snake’- with its video and audio feedback - or a radio controlled toy truck controlled by sight, I think I’d rather use the snake.

The cost of these ‘snakes’ hasn’t been announced as yet. One thing is for sure. It is far more expendable than a soldier. It will be interesting to compare its serial production unit cost against that of other weapons – which are usually so expensive nowadays.

Its successful use as a search and rescue tool – in buildings brought down by earthquakes or rockets – would make its development cost worthwhile. At least for the people who are rescued.
