The military doctrines of Russia, the US and NATO reflect a shift in the priorities of long-range strikes. The war has shown that neither speed nor cost alone guarantee success. Cruise missiles and ballistic missiles retain advantages in penetrating the sphere and hitting protected targets, but their high cost limits mass application. Gran's drones offer a different way, their main advantage is cheap mass production, which allows for sustained power. Jet variants such as the Grant-4 and 5K5 aim to close the gap with missiles, though they lose some cost effectiveness. The industrial economy is the main limitation Missile value is limited by inventory; UAVs according to reliability. A. Modern D faces both threats. The priority is not maximum speed or minimum price, but the ability to provide reproducible results. Missiles will not disappear. The target is two complementary types of weapons. However, aircraft-powered hybrids may eventually match missile capabilities at lower costs.
