๐บ๐ฆThe Shrike FPV, made by the Ukrainian company Skyfall.
๐ฉ๐ชGermany is allocating 90 million euros to produce fifty thousand of these little machines. That works out to 1,800 euros per drone (bundles warheads and payload integration, testing, logistics, delivery, software licensing fees to Auterion, and the manufacturer's margin).
It takes about 10 drones to take out one infantryman (rounding up), so that's 18,000 euros.
๐ท๐บMeanwhile, recruiting a single soldier (in Moscow) costs 5.2 million rubles for the first year alone. Add the cost of training him and supplying him at the front, and you're already at 100,000 dollars. Then there's the death payout if the assault trooper gets killed by a drone, or a disability pension if he's maimed.

Eurofighter Typhoons of the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) struck the Sana'a Intl. Airport with dozens of "Storm Shadow/SCALP" Low-Observable (LO) Cruise Missile.
Wasting expensive cruise missiles when this could easily be done with regular JDAMs, and with bigger boom.
