That’s right. The cost to kill drones is a huge problem. You can scramble jets and use sophisticated missiles to take out (some, larger, slower) drones. But saturation by cheap drones makes that too expensive. So @allencontrol systems is making it cheap:
🇷🇺 NATO’S $1M PROBLEM: SHOOTING DOWN $20K DRONES On paper, NATO’s air defenses look bulletproof. Patriot missiles. F-35s. Radar that can spot a seagull over Siberia. But Russia just exposed the gap: the Alliance can’t efficiently kill cheap drones. These aren’t high-tech

You gotta be kidding me
Can someone tell Venezuela to stop training? It really won’t help.

Mechanized infantry & armor platforms from troop transports to fighting vehicles like this Bradley are vulnerable to cheap, fast, lethal drones acting as aerial IEDs. The @allencontrol systems Bullfrog will reverse that, giving back control to US and allied ground forces.

We need to ban @DJIGlobal : There's no reason to hand over the money that enables China's state subsidy of a manufacturing advantage. Ban DJI, and invest in American drone companies. follow these conversations on @DroneUltimatum
