Finland did not shoot down drones in its airspace, maybe because they’re broke
* for three drones
which might have only cost like 15k
Ok little practice is no harm. Without practice these planes worth nothing and will be immediately shot down in case of war. Every military without action is just a paper tiger.
Security and sovereignty has a cost but no price.
Price of slavery / occupation / interference is higher.
Still hope Romania finds less expensive way to shoot them down.
Maybe the EU should give some of those frozen Russian money to Romania
it comes to 7.5 cents per citizen, which is about equal to nothing
Practice runs for pilots replaced with Russia facilitated drones. In lieu of a drone wall as developed now between NATO countries and Ukraine such targets are a welcome alternative to the flight simulator.
1.5 million EUR – cost of 3x AIM9x missiles (about 350k EUR) = 450k EUR.
Yup. 150k Eur a pop is pretty much what it costs to send up a flight of F-16s on a sortie (pilots, support staff, service costs etc).
How dare Romania show strength and resolve whilst we cower behind Ukraine. Hmph! 😤 they making us look bad.
WEDDING, Nicusor, WEDDING!
That is almost certainly wrong. The F-16 that shot down the first two, was an ex-Portuguese F-16. Those jets can’t fire the AIM-9X that they are basing this calculation on. The latest version they can fire, is the AIM-9M, which is quite a lot cheaper – anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2, from what official data is available.
I’m sure that arms makers are working on it, but I’m thinking that anti-drone drones will be the solution. Inexpensive kamikaze drones that can track down and collide with incoming drones.
They ought to send the bill to Putin.
Perhaps they could deduce that amount from frozen Russian oligarchs assets.
time to get Ukraine on board and seek their help to lower the cost 10 times
How much would it cost to repair a damaged powerplant, bridge, railway station, or even a simple civilian building if the drone go through?
Hell, how many people could have lost their lives to this attack? Definitely the value of one human life is worth more
Need to get them some yak-52s and a pump action shotgun.
Send the bill to Putin…👌
On the flip side they regularly fly training missions anyway and this was even better training so it’s not exactly wasted. Definitely should be a hint to invest in something more cost effective for the future but, right now, it doesn’t seem that significant.
