You can also, it turns out, buy a single shot of Britain&#8217;s newest fighter-jet drone-killer \u2014 and the Royal Air Force has just proved that the maths works.<\/p>\n\n<p>BAE Systems confirmed this week that an RAF Typhoon test aircraft fired a guided APKWS rocket against a target drone over a UK military range, the first time the Eurofighter has employed the cheap precision weapon. The trial pivots a 70-million-pound air-superiority fighter into a \u00a330k-per-shot drone exterminator \u2014 and quietly fixes one of NATO&#8217;s most expensive embarrassments of the past three years.<\/p>\n\n<p>Until now, the standard answer to a \u00a320,000 Iranian-pattern Shahed drone has been a \u00a31 million Meteor or AMRAAM missile. The maths, as more than one general has noted, &#8220;did not work in our favour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f5f6f8;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:18px 22px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:15.5px;line-height:1.65\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;color:#333\">Quick Facts<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> Eurofighter Typhoon (RAF Test &#038; Evaluation)<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Weapon:<\/strong> BAE Systems APKWS-II laser-guided 70mm rocket<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Cost per shot:<\/strong> ~\u00a330,000 (vs. \u00a31M+ for Meteor or AMRAAM)<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Capacity:<\/strong> Up to 7 rockets per LAU-131 launcher; 4 launchers possible per Typhoon<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>First Typhoon firing:<\/strong> May 2026, Cardigan Bay range, Wales<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Target:<\/strong> Cheap mass-produced loitering munitions (Shahed-136 type)<\/p><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1453377401  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/apkws-guided-rocket.jpg\" alt=\"APKWS-II laser-guided 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\">The APKWS-II is a guidance kit screwed onto a standard 70mm Hydra rocket. Photo: US DoD \/ Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A 70mm Rocket With a Laser Brain<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) was originally an American Marine Corps invention. It takes the unguided 70mm Hydra rocket \u2014 a Vietnam-era area-effect weapon \u2014 and bolts on a laser-guidance kit between the warhead and the motor. The result is a precision-guided round at one-tenth the cost of a true missile.<\/p>\n\n<p>British forces fielded APKWS on AH-64 Apaches years ago. Putting it on a Typhoon is harder: the fighter&#8217;s mission computer, fire-control radar, and weapon-management software all have to be rewritten to handle the new round. BAE has now done that work, and the firing trial confirms the integration is real, not theoretical.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why This Changes the Drone-War Maths<\/h2>\n\n<p>The driver is Ukraine. Russia has been firing 50 to 200 Iranian-pattern Shahed drones at Kyiv per night through 2025-2026. Each Shahed costs roughly $20,000. Each AMRAAM the West fires at one costs $1 million. Western air-defence stockpiles have been bleeding faster than they can be replaced.<\/p>\n\n<p>An APKWS-armed Typhoon can carry up to 28 guided rockets in four LAU-131 launcher pods. That&#8217;s 28 cheap kills per sortie, against an opponent who relies on swarm volume to overwhelm defences.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1796957222  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/shahed-loitering-drone.png\" alt=\"Shahed-136 loitering drone\" 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 Shahed-136-pattern loitering munition, the kind APKWS-armed Typhoons are designed to swat. Photo: Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Belgium, France, and the Drone-Hunter Club<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Typhoon trial is the third major European integration in as many months. Belgium has been firing the Thales-Hellfire-derived FZ275 from F-16s. France has tested a similar fit on the Rafale M. NATO is converging on an unwritten doctrine: every front-line fighter on the continent should be able to swat cheap drones without burning a missile worth more than a small house.<\/p>\n\n<p>The RAF says it expects to begin operational trials with front-line Typhoon squadrons before the end of 2026. If the cleared rate-of-fire matches the test, a single jet will be able to engage a swarm of seven incoming drones in roughly seven seconds \u2014 and still come home with eight rockets to spare.<\/p>\n\n<p><em>Sources: BAE Systems statement, UK MoD press release, Defence News, Janes.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For thirty thousand pounds you can buy a used Mini Cooper.
