Wars of deception are coming for America. It isn’t ready. Costly, outdated weapons are no match for cheap drones and high-tech misdirection. - "This came into focus last week when a wave of 19 Russian drones crossed into Polish airspace. The drones were reportedly of the Gerbera type, which cost as little as $10,000 each and thus are often used as decoys to misdirect and overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses.

They then shot down just four of the nineteen drones with AMRAAM missiles, each costing over $1.6 million."
