A staggering share of that went to a single, maddening problem: shooting down cheap Iranian drones with some of the most expensive aircraft on Earth.\n\nThe math is simple. A Shahed-136 kamikaze drone costs Iran about $30,000 to build. The PAC-3 missile the U.S. fires to kill it costs $4 million. That is a 133-to-1 cost ratio \u2014 in favor of the attacker.\n\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CENTCOM\/status\/1902332718215577795\"><\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Lawnmower Engines vs. Stealth Fighters<\/h2>\n\n\u201cI think it\u2019s fair to say that F-35s and F-22s are overkill when it comes to shooting down a drone that has an engine you might find in a lawn mower,\u201d said John Waters, a former U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot. \u201cHowever, we\u2019ve had to utilize our high-end fighters to counter these threats because they\u2019re new and emerging.\u201d\n\nIn the opening phase of Epic Fury, F-35s and F-22s were firing AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles at incoming Shaheds. Each missile costs between $1 and $4 million. Each drone it killed was worth a fraction of that. And the drones kept coming \u2014 in waves, at all hours, from dispersed launch points across Iran and proxy territory.\n\nThe problem is not just financial. Every sortie burns flight hours against airframe limits. Every missile fired is one fewer in the magazine. Every pilot flying drone patrol is not flying strike missions, combat air patrol, or close air support. The opportunity cost compounds with every engagement.\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Adapting on the Fly<\/h2>\n\nThe Pentagon has not stood still. According to Admiral Brad Cooper, CENTCOM Commander: \u201cIf I just walk back a couple of years, do you remember what you used to always hear? \u2018We\u2019re shooting down a $50,000 drone with a $2 million missile.\u2019 These days we\u2019re spending a lot of time shooting down hundred-thousand-dollar drones with $10,000 weapons.\u201d\n\nThe weapon driving that shift is the AGR-20 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II \u2014 APKWS for short. Originally designed as a laser-guided 70mm rocket, the APKWS costs between $25,000 and $40,000 per round. It can be fired from F-15Es, F-16s, and a range of other platforms without requiring the radar and sensor suites of fifth-generation fighters.\n\nThe introduction of APKWS has pulled the cost curve dramatically. \u201cWhen we first saw fighters being utilized to take down drones, we saw them using AIM-120s and AIM-9s,\u201d Waters noted. \u201cNow, with the introduction of the AGR-20, we\u2019re able to see the U.S. respond to these drones with a relatively low-cost weapon versus an advanced missile.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZelenskyyUa\/status\/2029611753898742262\"><\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The Human Cost of the Numbers Game<\/h2>\n\nBut cheaper weapons do not eliminate the danger. Six U.S. soldiers were killed at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, when a drone penetrated defenses and struck their position. Three F-15E Strike Eagles were lost over Kuwait \u2014 brought down not by Iranian air defenses but by friendly fire in the chaos of a mass drone engagement. The fog of drone war is thick and lethal.\n\nGeneral Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, reported an 83% reduction in Iranian drone attacks over the course of the campaign \u2014 a figure that reflects both improved defenses and offensive strikes against Shahed launch sites. Dave Deptula, a former fighter pilot and Dean of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Power Studies, emphasized the offensive approach: \u201cThe best way to conduct defense is through an offense. I\u2019m going to go out and blow up all of those Shahed launchers.\u201d\n\nThe U.S. has also, belatedly, turned to Ukraine for help. After four years of battling Shahed drones over its own cities, Ukraine has developed counter-drone tactics, electronic warfare techniques, and operational doctrine that the U.S. military is now studying \u2014 and, reportedly, beginning to adopt.\n\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n  <p>&#8220;No plan survives first contact with the enemy.&#8221;<\/p>\n  <cite>\u2014 Helmuth von Moltke the Elder<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A New Kind of Attrition<\/h2>\n\nDan Hampton, a retired F-16 Wild Weasel pilot, offered a blunter assessment of the delayed learning: \u201cIf there\u2019s one defining characteristic of the administration in Washington, it\u2019s arrogance. They\u2019ve only belatedly realized that maybe they should have asked people that have been doing this for years.\u201d\n\nHampton also pushed back against the pure cost-ratio argument: \u201cIf a drone is headed for a hospital or a school, who cares how much the weapon costs to bring it down?\u201d Fair point. But the Iranian strategy does not depend on any single drone reaching its target. It depends on sending enough of them that the cost of defense becomes unbearable.\n\nThat is the oldest form of attrition warfare \u2014 updated for the age of autonomy. And so far, the math still favors the side with the lawnmower engines.\n\n<em>Sources: Defense One, The War Zone, Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Power Studies<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first 100 hours of Operation Epic Fury cost approximately $3.7 billion \u2014 roughly $891 million per day.
