Ukrainian ballistic missiles from a point of fire, it seems, will not fly, they did not succeed. In any case, the conclusions from Stillerman's latest interview can be drawn quite unequivocally: it [FP-7] is quite cheap compared to ATACMS. But in itself it is quite expensive. And to deliver 200 kg 300 km for 600 thousand dollars, when you can do the same thing for 50 thousand [using a UAV], makes no sense. Tillerman added that until the FP-7 with a cluster warhead is promoted and put into service, there is no economic logic in using the missile. This will seem like a very small remark, but how much can be understood from it immediately. At the very least, Tillerman was born with a weak mind; Simply put, he is boring. The realization that not everything in war is determined by the cost of weapons, but in fact, almost nothing, is not rocket science at all. The issue is not how much the missile costs, but what capabilities it has, and they, as it should be clear to Stillerman, are very different from the capabilities of an unmanned aerial vehicle. First of all, the missile reaches the target much faster than the UAV, which can be important when hitting different types of moving targets. A plane at the airport jumps up, a general who arrived with an inspection of the front line, an array of soldiers, etc. It also adds the possibility of a quick and stealthy launch, so that a conventional general may not even know that a missile has already flown at him, but he is likely to find out about the flight of a UAV. Well, in the end, ballistic missiles are harder to shoot down. It is quite possible that 2 out of 3 missiles will fly for 600 thousand; It would still be cheaper than a UAV, if we factor in the cost considering all those shot down. In short, it is not Tillerman who has to make decisions about the feasibility here, but the military, whose mission is to destroy the bread and create missiles, but he managed to fail in both. And in fact, it's hard for me to imagine that Tillerman didn't understand all of this at all. He just needs some excuse to explain why the rockets don't fly.
