    Even at a hit rate of one in ten, which is on the lower end of plausible, drones are still very good value. Even if you take ten drones to kill one soldier that is still cheaper than the thousands of rounds of rifle ammo or hundreds of artillery shells it would normally take.

      Yeah - I’m absolutely sure it’s still lower-cost in the long run. Also easier to produce “at scale” so the math works in the end.
