Trophy is designed for fast moving anti tank missiles. These cheap drones can be shot down with a shotgun. I think we can make anti drone systems a little cheaper.

> but their guidance systems and payloads are improving dramatically compared to the start of the war But can they survive a small bullet or a shotgun hit?

Those CIWS are designed to take out much more hardened targets than shitty drones. I bet you a shotgun shell can easily take out one of those drones. Upgrade your drone defenses an…

$500 for a drone including its bomb that can incapacitate a military aircraft and can survive multiple bullets? Also, I don't think you need 30 mm bullets to take out a drone. Thos…

"400k" (he/she says they work for a private company so they haven't told us how much of that is actual cash in hand) and also in an unknown location which could be the bay area whi…

From your other comment, you pay $400-700k for L4-L6. Since your company is private what percent of that is liquid (cash or RSUs you can immediately sell for cash). Also, what loca…
