Odd looking ... but apparently they can be made for
only about $2000 each - as opposed to 3 MILLION for
a single Patriot missile.
They can literally smash into Russian drones, explode
very near them, and some have a shoot-down option.
The USA should BUY the design and start making a
lot of them. Of course HERE they'll wanna charge
$200,000 for the same thing ...
In Ukraine, the MAIN problem isn't the Russian
heavy stuff, it's the cheap Iranian/copy drones
with a cheap little motor (ONE-way trip folks)
that are kind of the modern V-1. Russia can
make LOTS of them. Quantity is what makes them
a special pain.
