A cruise missile is 3,000,000$ and a shahed drone is 50,000$ so if it’s even remotely the same capability it is an immense technological improvement over an expensive and slow to manufacture cruise missile.
- infamia 7mo agoYou need a high/low capability that mixes all levels. For example, the Ukrainians and the Russians are both manufacturing very expensove cruise missles (Neptune/Iskander) and long range attack drones (shahed/fp-2/lute/etc). At any rate the original post I was responding to was comparing Switchblades to Shaheds, which is non-sensical.

- cherry_tree 7mo agoWhat’s the use case of a flying bomb that can be mass produced at little cost in days to weeks instead of months to years? Yeah tough to say really.
- urikaduri 7mo agoWell, what is it going to be used for?
