"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... ;-)
