An AIM-120 AMRAAM costs about a million dollars. An AIM-9X Sidewinder costs around $450,000. A Shahed-type one-way attack drone costs perhaps $20,000 to $50,000, and Iran and its partners can build them faster than anyone can afford to shoot them down with...

Nell'autunno del 1980, ingegneri americani fissarono trenta razzi a un C-130 Hercules. Il piano era folle e mortalmente serio: far volare il velivolo quadrimotore in uno stadio di calcio nel centro di Teheran, fermarlo entro la lunghezza del campo, caricare cinquantadue americani...
