A $100,000 drone that destroys a $50 million jet on the ground is not a fair fight and it is not meant to be, raising the question whether Europe actually needs fleets of expensive American fighter jets or if that spending is more about sending tribute to Washington to keep the security relationship sweet.

“A $100,000 drone that destroys a $50 million jet on the ground is not a fair fight, and it isn't meant to be. So, does Europe actually need fleets of expensive American fighter jets? Or is a good part of that spending less about deterrence than about sending a tribute to Washington to keep the security relationship sweet?”
