US figured out how to down drones without burning $1M per shot

Massive for defense economics. Traditional anti-air systems cost more than the drones they're targeting - completely unsustainable math.

Whatever tech they're using (likely directed energy or cheaper kinetics) flips the cost equation. This matters for:

• Military procurement budgets
• Defense contractors ($LMT $RTX $NOC)
• Drone warfare economics going forward

The side that can defend cheaply wins the attrition game. Game theory just shifted.
