I wonder the same thing, and do you launch a $5 million missile at a $500 drone?

From a national security perspective, the news that concerns me the most these days are the reports that we are not taking the drone threat seriously. Warfare has changed overnight, just as it did when gunpowder was harnessed and machine guns were developed. There will never again be a "conventional" war. We have entered the age of drone and cyber warfare, and if we're not leading that charge, we're sitting ducks.

For a few years now, there have been reports of China buying land near American bases here in the United States. Perhaps they were doing that for spy purposes, but I am sure they are thinking about the drone potential.
 
About half of Russia's Shahed drones are actually decoys designed to map and exhaust Ukraine's air defenses. Only a small percentage of Shaheds are actually hitting anything but they do get publicized when they do. According to recent reports, Ukraine is actually having good luck taking them out with a new, cheap drone.

But, Ukraine is handing Russia significant punishment with its own drone strikes within Russia. Those don't get near the publicity now because Russia is cracking down on picture taking of the damage.
