State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

So we can’t use a drone of our own to intercept the enemy’s drone? Can’t DEWs vaporize a drone? Is it arrogance that makes us bring an expensive baseball bat to a gun fight?
Absolutely not–no we CANNOT USE A DRONE or DEW to knock down simple, cheap, numerous drones… because that would hurt Raytheon’s stock value. Don’t you know we have to possess the most up-to-date, expensive and technologically complex weapons systems? What you are saying and contemplating is totally un-American. Take for instance a single round of one of our large caliber field guns costs $80,000 per round to fire–while the Russian equivalent costs about $200.00. For every $1.00 we spend on weapons systems–we spend $9.00. That’s the American way of doing things.
Correction to the above…. “For every $9.00 we spend on weapons systems–Russia spends $1.00”
Gen. Eisenhower face-palms from the Great Beyond at our lack of logistics planning and our haphazard Tables of Organization and Equipment in place for any kind of offensive campaign. What a schittshow…..
An article from July of last year mentioned the Army had acquired some “drone-zapping microwave weapons for testing”. Did those tests prove the weapons to be reliable and usable ? Sending microwaves might be a tad less expensive than missiles. I do not care about the bottom line for those companies making big profits from selling expensive missile systems.
