>Dutch F-35 fighter jets intercepted and destroyed Russian Gerbera drones that crossed into Polish airspace using AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles
>The engagement underscores a major cost disparity between the systems. Each Gerbera drone is estimated at about $10,000, while a single AIM-9X missile costs approximately $2.8 million—a ratio of around 280 to 1.
Using million-dollar missiles to shoot down cheap drones is not only economically wasteful; it may also be a deliberate Russian tactic to drain NATO’s missile stocks.
