Tag #Counter-Drone Strategy

How does the cost-effectiveness of enemy drones compared to US countermeasures influence the Pentagon's new strategy?

The rising threat of drones, demonstrated by attacks on US assets and infrastructure, necessitates a comprehensive response. The cost disparity between inexpensive enemy drones (approx. $2,000) and expensive US countermeasures (naval missiles costing ~$2 million, Reaper drones costing ~$30 million) highlights the urgency of developing effective and cost-efficient solutions. The incidents at Langley Air Force Base and the Nevada National Security Site underscore the vulnerability of critical US facilities.
