Cost comparison .


Iranian drones & Missiles


  • Simple drones: $ 20-35k each

  • Precision Missiles : $ 1- 5 million each


Traditional Missile Defence: ( Israel & US)


  • Interceptors: $50k- $4 million per shot

  • Single use: each interceptor is fired once and then spent

  • Cost imbalance: cheap drones can rapidly deplete expensive interceptors stockpiles


Strategic Risk:


  • If cheap drone and missiles are not stopped in a short period of time, the rapid depletion of expensive , single use interceptors can bring a Country’s Defence budget and stockpiles to the brink within days, leaving it vulnerable.


Iron Beam: Israel’s laser Game Changer


  • Type: High energy laser system operational since late 2025

  • Targets: Short range rockets, mortars , drones

  • Cost per shot: $ 3 – 10 in energy
