Warfare's New Equation
Modern Warfare has become a battle of numbers. Yet no longer is the main data point the number of troops but rather the number of systems and their cost. Reporting from the modern battlefields in Ukraine, the Red Sea, and Gaza, and Northern Israel frequently comes with a cost analysis. What was the cost of the missile to shoot down one drone?

Small, one-way drones - which have effectively become piloted munitions, are relevantly cheap yet extremely effective.
