1. >Instead of firing interceptor missiles from U.S. Patriot systems, which each cost about about $4 million, or €400,000 for those from the European IRIS-T, to knock down Iranian-designed Shahed drones costing $50,000, Ukraine is developing its own interceptor drones that cost $1,000 to $5,000 per unit.

   This is how the first laser /direct eenergy wepons interceptors will be fielded, this could be effective against groups like the Houthis that can field very cheap drones and cause disproportional damage to shipping lanes.
