The article is short, so the excerpt is short. The drone was approaching Israel from the east, as in Iran.

It’s good they shot it down.

But the problem is a jet costing $30K per hour to operate, firing missiles that costs hundred of thousands or millions; to shoot down drones that cost tens of thousands.

The economics of this just doesn’t work, and the scaleability is on their side.

We need cheap drone intercepters.

Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran. I'd discount Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan. Possibly an indirect route from Gaza intended to foil air defenses?

If it originated in Iran the needle moved a tick toward midnight.
