A shahed drone costs $20-$50k
those drones are really cheap [by governments wasting money on war standards, that is,] and are partially to waste/occupy AD etc, but the point definitely stands about the nicer/more expensive missiles
I’m wondering if they did want to live test the hypersonic missiles?
Isnt in unknown if they actually have them? I was thinking also though that missiles do expire, though one would imagine most components are recyclable
I’m definitely no expert on any of it. Seems like there is a a 3rd possibility between performative and causing maximal damage which is to test capabilities
