#Airbus just proved you don’t need a $1M missile to kill a $20K drone. Their Bird of Prey..... a modified Do-DT25.... flew its maiden demo yesterday, autonomously hunted a kamikaze target, and fired a Frankenburg Mk1. Specs: 2.5 m span, 3.1 m long, 160 kg, four (soon eight) ultra-light missiles (65 cm / <2 kg / 1.5 km / EO fire-and-forget). Nine months from kick off to first air to air kill. Cost per shot drops dramatically compared to traditional SHORAD. #Drones
