  1. What was the cost per missile vs the cost per drone?

    That’s a key question in Ukraine right now.

  2. That’s rather silly. There are better weapon systems to destroy/disrupt drones than air to air missiles. A point defense weapon with proximity fuse and radar guidance would be significantly cheaper, more effective and have longer stay times. Aircraft are better used elsewhere. Interception of cruise and ballistic missiles for one. But drones? Certainly not. Even ground to air missiles would make more sense but air to air is a waste of resources in my opinion.

  3. Congratulations on the multi-million pound PR training exercise 2000 miles from the action, boys. Now go paint some swastikas on your tailplanes and fly a 24/7 circuit over Kiev to defend Elenskyy’s coke stash from destruction.
