The U.S. military has been forced to use very expensive interceptor missiles \u2014 sometimes costing around $4 million apiece \u2014 to shoot down Iranian drones that cost roughly $35,000 each, highlighting a big cost imbalance in the Gulf conflict.
\nIranian drones, often cheap Shahed-type unmanned aircraft, are being launched in large numbers against U.S. and allied positions, forcing costly defenses to respond.
\nThis \u201cattrition strategy\u201d means the attackers spend far less per drone than defenders spend per missile, straining defense budgets.
\nMilitary experts say this imbalance could shape how future wars are fought, pushing countries to develop cheaper defenses.
\nThe intense attacks are part of a wider U.S.\u2013Iran conflict that also involves missiles and large drone waves across the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
