National Interest: #US SM-3 anti-ballistic missile stockpile depleted as Washington produces only 12 SM-3 missiles per year
The US media describe as "extremely dangerous" scenario for the US hegemony
Each SM-3 costs $28 million and is the US "top weapon_ against the ballistic missile threat, according to a #NationalInterest report.
A $28 million missile against a 1000 or even 5000 dollar drone is not exactly "success" even if they manage to shoot down the drone.
Drones are not ballistic missiles. We're talking about things that come all the way over via the stratosphere.
That said, I bet the real cost is $28
@IAmSpartacus I think you misunderstood the British sarcasm there.
