2. Good

3. Each interceptor costs how much? Surely using missiles to hit drones aren’t cheap

5. Well, they didn’t have those kind of missile to shoot down planes in ww2 but got the job done with a 40/50mm gun

6. That’s nice now send something to blow them up on land before they can be fired.

7. But why is he dressed like a sperm? Serious question. Is that a fire protective suit or something in case of a misfire?

8. Ah yes a million dollar missile for 7 BYD drones. Are you winning son?

9. We’re gonna need an alternative cheaper means to play this game tbh.

   £1-2m per missile Vs £40k drones is not a sustainable solution.

   The weird thing is we already know this so why are we taking this approach?

10. This pic goes hard

11. Well done, lads

12. Take the entire discussion here and apply it to Israel/Gaza. Do you start seeing why intercepting 20K rockets fired at civilians at a very high cost and high yet not 100% success rate is not sustainable?

13. Was this an attack against a ship in His Majestys Service? Because if so its an attack against NATO.

15. No war was ever won by only defense.

16. “Each of the missiles costs more than £1m ($1.3m)” to shoot down the drone equivalent of a T34 tank.

17. Why the white suits and balaclava/forage cap? Anti-fire protection?
