Khaberni - "The Wall Street Journal" reported that the U.S. military is planning to develop a new interception missile that costs significantly less than the "Patriot", many times over to reduce the enormous costs of missile warfare.
The newspaper wrote: "The U.S. military plans to develop a new interception missile costing less than $250,000, a fraction of the cost of the Patriot intercept missiles which are valued at millions of dollars and which have been widely used during the war with Iran."
According to the U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, the United States intends to involve academic institutions in developing various components of the missile.
The U.S. military plans to officially launch this project in the coming weeks and intends to conduct a technology demonstration within a year.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal in April, since the start of the war in Iran in late February, the U.S. military has spent between 1500 and 2000 intercept missiles of the Patriot, THAAD, and Standard types.
