The Russian Herbera’s Russian drones worth about $ 10 thousand were knocked down in Poland, in particular, AIM-120C-7 missiles, the cost of such in 2024 was about $ 1.37 million apiece. At the same time, F-16 and F-35 fighters were used to counteract drones.
“When the fighter’s pilot in the air or someone on Earth protects the Alliance, I don’t want them to think about how much their weapons cost. I want them to protect our citizens,” Grinkevich said.
He considers the successful NATO operation to counteract Russian drones in Poland.
“Attracting additional resources to solve this problem will help to resolve it. This is why we start this operation [“Восточная стража” для усиления обороны восточного фланга]. The efforts are aimed at ensuring that we get cheaper weapons that we can use for self -defense, ”the NATO representative explained.
