YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Western militaries can’t keep shooting down incoming drones with expensive missiles, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Thursday, adding that NATO is rapidly learning from Ukraine on how to counter Russian drones.

“It is not sustainable that you would take down thousand or two-thousand dollar costing drones with missiles that cost you maybe half a million or a million dollars,” Rutte told Bloomberg News Editor in Chief John Micklethwait in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “All of us are rapidly developing the technologies and learning from Ukrainians.”
