"A Patriot missile - usually priced at about $3m (£2.5m) - was used to shoot down a small quadcopter drone, according to a US general.

The strike was made by a US ally, Gen David Perkins .

"That quadcopter that cost 200 bucks from Amazon.com did not stand a chance against a Patriot," he said."

Yup. That's nuts... ;-)

Yeah, you think they could find some of those older SCUD models to bring 'em down, eh?

LIke a Predator droning an entire building & killing/maiming hundreds to take out one low-level terrorist.  He must be proud?

Best to use newer million dollar missiles, than go to that old technology.
