That's not too bad for interceptors. Much more believable than the previous figures

Hitting a very fast missile is not easy!

True, but if you take the cost of the inteceptors into consideration and compare it to the cost of the missles and drones, then you go from "not to bad" to "another of these and we're out of money".

Do the interceptors cost that much more than missiles?

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Vastly more, yes.

was it ballistic missiles that they were shooting down?
