Re: Military Intelligence

Firstly, how do you know the drone only cost $100? If it's one of the Watchkeeper sized ones forces have been using in the area it will have cost substantially more than that, and been a significant portion of the opposition's budget.

Secondly, if the drone is providing useful information to the opposition it's cost is irrelevant as you want to stop it providing that information/capability. Or are you saying it wouldn't be worth shooting down a DJI Phantom hovering over your main base as the cost in bullets would be more than it was worth?
