9. Wonder if the Trophy system can be used against drones.

If it can knock out missiles fired from short range, seems a drone coming in at 100 mph, from the sky, would not be that much of a lift.

Don't know if the US has deployed a system like Trophy. But based on what is going on in Ukraine, probably $30b of DOD spending coming up soon to equip US equipment.
