Ukraine just called their Bayraktars useless, and all the stingers, switchblades, Javelins, NLAWs have not delivered on their promises. I have sent my friends and families videos of Javelins and Switchblade videos marvelling at how amazing these pieces of tech are. But given the numbers that have supposedly been pouring into Ukraine and what is realistically happening it seems more like an unrealistic sales video than actual performance. So you might want to rethink that. By all measures the war in Ukraine is fought with Artillery + reconnaissance drones right now. And the one with the better recon and artillery seems to be winning. To your cost tradeoff. It actually seems more like the real tradeoff is cheap armour that your factory can churn out at a realistic pace, while being an uncomfortable powderkeg vs. really expensive equipment that you're too worried to use, because for every one that you use the other side can build 6.
