    Okay, yeah, respect where it’s due, the field expedient cruise missile does work.

    How much does a tomahawk missile cost? I think cessnas run like 200k or 400k

      Tomahawks tend to fly a bit faster and have a more focused payload.

      Doing a Flying Timothy McVeigh certainly creates a large explosion. I have to question whether this strike had a meaningful impact on drone production, any more than McVeigh’s strike had a meaningful impact on the FBI’s ability to operate in the US Southwest. A ballistic missile would have had the same penetration and done far more damage.
