It is a direct answer to the central problem of modern air defence: how to destroy a $1,000 drone without firing a $1 million missile at it.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;border-radius:8px;padding:18px 22px;margin:24px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;color:#333;font-size:15px\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px;line-height:1.75\"><li><strong>Weapon:<\/strong> Thales LGR275 &#8220;Proxy&#8221; 70 mm laser-guided rocket<\/li><li><strong>Role:<\/strong> counter-drone (C-UAS)<\/li><li><strong>Unveiled:<\/strong> opening day of Eurosatory 2026<\/li><li><strong>The problem it solves:<\/strong> the cost imbalance of shooting cheap drones with expensive missiles<\/li><li><strong>Class:<\/strong> precision-guided 70 mm rocket<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The Cost Curve of Killing Drones<\/h2>\n\n<p>Ukraine and the Middle East have exposed an uncomfortable truth: defenders have been spending million-dollar interceptors to down drones that cost as much as a used car. That math loses a war of attrition. The fix is cheaper effectors &mdash; and the humble 70 mm rocket, guided to within centimetres by a laser, has emerged as one of the most promising.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1937465081  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:npDt.c019\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/laser-guided-70mm-rocket-apkws.jpg\" alt=\"Laser-guided 70mm rocket\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">A laser-guided 70 mm rocket of the same class as Thales\u2019 new LGR275 counter-drone rocket.

A precision rocket like the LGR275 slots between expensive guided missiles and short-ranged guns and jammers, giving forces a mid-tier weapon that is accurate, affordable, and available in quantity. In a war defined by swarms, quantity is its own kind of quality.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Sources: Thales; Eurosatory 2026; The Defense News.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid
