The only thing is can someone tell me the draining ROI of taking down cheap turkish swarm drones with Akash missiles? It's like killing a fly with machine gun.
Is that the paki strategy? What is the optimal route here...I saw lots of made in india anti drone systems at Defence expo and on Army day. Are we saying these are not war ready yet.
Perhaps, but that is a moot point. the score in drone-o-logy is right now, 10-0 or something ridiculous like that.
Our drones are hitting, theirs is not. Before we worry about us running out of missiles, let them worry about us running out of targets to hit them.
That we are spending more $$ is not that big deal - we are much bigger economy than pak+turk+azeri who are supplying them drones. we are the 'america' in this war.
we should be able to out-produce missiles on an emergency basis than turkey can shit out drones that work as well. Remember,turkey and pakis dont come with infinite money hack, they come with much less than us.
if their initial stockpile fail, they will be very hardpressed to invest in production to keep failing and hoping we run out of missiles first.
Pakistan is basically trying Ukraine's strategy with Russia - infinite money cheat code from west+drone donations and swarm saturate Russia.
Except,pakistan is no ukraine,it doesnt have direct mil-industrial complex backing of the west. its got mil-indstrial complex of max turkey and azeris directly, maybe china if china wants to escalate but china doesnt seem keen to be caught in drone-warfare with India and risk more loss of face as India shoots down chinku drone swarms.
