Yeah I don't mean to say it's cheap in the absolute sense, just relative to other anti air missiles. Even non-western missiles like S300 are 1 mil a missile
I might be misremembering, but doesn't the iron dome rely pretty heavily on volume of missiles being shot as a defensive response rather than precision accuracy? Meaning each missile might "only" be 80k but they are launching like a dozen of them?
80k is still hundreds of times more than the rockets Hamas is using anyway.
Isn't that cheap actually? Patriot SAM is 4 mil a shot
It's still crazy nonetheless lol.
