UAE shooting down Shaheds with aircraft guns.
This ends the narrative about shooting down cheap drones with expensive Patriots.

No doubt they're only drones, and shitty ones at that, but I can't help feeling a slight thrill at the sight of GUNS GUNS GUNS once more
What a throwback

This is great until the drones start being used to hunt the Apaches being used to shoot down the drones

but we're shooting down cheap drones with even cheaper drones.
The seeker costs $15000 and can be deployed from the bed of a nissan shitbox.

Although let's be clear: flight time for a jet or helicopter isn't CHEAP either, though a stupendous upgrade vs a missile. For the F-35 cost per flight hour is estimated at somewhere between $30-50k depending. My assumption is that on drone duty it'll be at the low end of the spectrum, because the fighter wouldn't be required to push its engine or frame at all, it's a pretty easy light role. So that's not terrible at all, could easily be a much better then 1:1 cost ratio.There's still the issue of scaling and response time however, and it'd still be better if the cost was even cheaper. So I don't think it's a replacement for developing better automated laser a flak turrets. But way better then pissing away incredibly valuable and low quantity interceptors on a flying lawnmower.

drones are just missiles that cruise

This is almost certainly retarded, but wouldn’t a commercial double prop plane modified with a couple machine guns in an old WWII style turret work for this?

Iran is just going easy on them now before they do their actual big strike soon. They've identified all of the locations where air defense systems are located. The ME is fucked.

Aaaand they've crashed one
No doubt hit by debris from one of these drones when it exploded, just like what happened with a number of Ukrainian MiG-29s and F-16s when doing gun attacks on dronesThis is why the US uses APKWS and missiles

Fighter going for gun kill on shaheed is risking the plane. Fighters are even more expensive than patriot missiles. That is why US prefers to use AKWPS rockets on 'em.

Can't drones carry a duo APKWS rockets and hit helos or slow moving air-air targets?
