Only by taking annual production (4 million) and averaging it daily, but that's not daily actual production and includes all drones (many small FPVs).

You mean, because maybe most drone production stops on Sundays or something? Under these circumstances, if the UK is sending thousands of small FPVs it would be insignificant.

  I don't think they are your usual small FPVs. They should be designed to take out incoming Shaheds at high altitudes.

    Do Shaheds fly at high altitudes? Are we talking about Shahed-136 here? I thought flying low was one of their main advantages! I don't think Anvil can reach high altitudes. I mean it's a battery-powered quadcopter. We're speculating based on very little information here. At least you didn't spell it "Shaheed".

      Recent tactic adaptation is to fly at altitude 2-3 km to avoid mobile ground air defense groups. There are already available different FPV designs used to successfully intercept Shaheds, loitering munitions and reconnaissance drones.

Given that comment said “in the order of 10 thousand” and that he gave a single number and not a number for a particular day, I think we can assume that daily is a daily average.

  I can't endorse this. WP says the shooter "remains unidentified", but also you shouldn't silence people for disagreement, even foolish disagreement.

    "22 year-old Tyler Robinson is a white Mormon from Utah from a gun-loving Republican family" But I agree with not silencing.

    Hiii not sure who you are, so not sure how much weight your endorsement carries. That being said, the shooter has been identified as a very right wing person. I’m not trying to silence anyone, but they did, of their own accord and apropos of nothing, commit to deleting their account if their ridiculously early conclusion was wrong. Really I’d like it to be a learning opportunity, even though people like this seem to be incapable of learning lessons (will update here when they jump to conclusions without evidence on the next one) or of following principles (I don’t need to update, there’s no way they will follow with their commitment to delete their account). The lesson is to wait for some facts to come in before jumping to extreme conclusions.
