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.

That's obvious. Just saying it sucks that throwing drones against Ukraine is much cheaper as defending it from those drones. If you think about how Russia can buy like 5000 drones for 100m it's crazy. Maybe little bit more but still...
