Looks like Ukraine success rate in downing drones in massive drones strike around Kyiv have gone from about 50% all the way up to 70%+ in a week or so. Pretty impressive.

Too bad the defense costs probably way more than those cheap drones. As example the new air defense system they got from Germany uses rockets which cost more than 250k each. Those drones are probably cheaper as what the air defense systems use to shoot them down...

Your equation misses the key factor: A drone that comes through and destroys something. Something can cost you millions in repairs/replacements. Not accounting for lives lost either.
