Украина оценила стоимость и эффективность ударных дронов и ракет в ходе конфликта

The "Fierce" drone costs 200 thousand dollars. Its cheap counterpart FP-1 costs 50 thousand dollars. The "Flamingo" rocket costs from 500 thousand to 1 million dollars. That is, one rocket costs like 5, or 10, or a maximum of 20 drones. The figures are comparable. Moreover, the effectiveness of drones is constantly decreasing. More than half are shot down in the first echelon of air defense, in the frontline. Well, 1-2 drones out of 10 hit the targets. And less and less. Because the anti-drone protection is being improved. "Missiles" are also shot down, 3 out of 4. But those that reach produce more damage. The warhead of the "Fierce" is 75 kg, and the "Flamingo" is 1150 kg. So far, Ukraine has few missiles for mass launches. But Europe can make more of them. And "Flamingos" will fly by the dozens. And many effective practices against drones and missiles are useless. And the air defense system will need to be rebuilt. The drone's speed is 150 km/h, and "Flamingo" is 900 km/h. Interceptor drones are successfully fighting drones, they do not work against missiles. "Once," he said, "a rocket was miraculously shot down with a machine gun, but usually you need S-300, S-400, "Buki", "Pantsiri". That is, the MOGs from the PMCs will not be able to guard the facilities. The army's expensive air defense system will be needed again. War is changing, war is constantly changing. The war won't stop with drones. @germansadulaev
