US Army Shot Down A $200 Amazon Drone Using A $3M Patriot Missile

#5 The Cautious US Army

Nothing skips the US Army’s cautious eyes, even if it an Amazon drone. There’s no need for a gun to attack it, rather using a $3 million Patriot surface-to-air missile will do the job.

#4 The Event

In the video below, you can see at 14 mins, the commander of the US Army Training and Doctrine Command, General David G. Perkins shows off the efficiency and pride of the US army in his recent talk at the United States Army’s Global Force symposium in Alabama.

#3 Drone No Throne

He claimed that the $200 drone brought from a local store did not stand a chance against the missile and how the US Army love their Patriot Missiles.He further went to claim that the missile had not been fired by the US officials but rather by an ally to deal with a certain conflict and inflicted no real threat in the situation.

#2 Better Safe Than Sorry

General Perkins in his statement ensured that he understood the rationality of the situation. Knowing that the money spent for that missile is not even close to the cost of the drone, he put forward the point that the enemy won’t think straight and could probably buy as many drones to cause harm.

#1 Comparing the two

These missiles are guided by radar and are capable of destructing big or small missiles or flying objects of any kind. It has the power to travel five times the sonic limit which in comparison to, the Amazon drone couldn’t stand a chance with a maximum speed of Fifty kilometers per hour.
