The most viable solution to loitering munitions is a layered air defense that contains low range low altitude
passive defense system that can detect and intercept these things at low cost. Something like what
Iran has like Majid aka AD-08. These systems need to be dirt cheap (ie. costs only 10 bucks) and precise.
It is worth mentioning that in one of the deals Modi paid the Zionist regime $100 million for only 10 Harop drones!
The best weapon for any country is the one that's developed ingenuously because they have complete control over the weapon and can use it when required. The non-delivery of S-300 by Russia has proven to be a blessing in disguise for Iran as they have developed it's equivalent i.e. Bavar-373 and since it's locally developed they are saying soon it will be upgraded to level of S-400.
In current India Pakistan escalation, the only country in the world that openly stood and supported India is Israel. India government under direction of Modi is doing exactly the same things in Kashmir which Israel is doing in Palestine like making colonies of Hindus in Kashmir to convert Muslim majority into minority. There is lot of military equipment which India has bought from Israel.
To win in war, it is not enough to use only expensive weapons, but economic issues must also be given priority. Ukraine has used expensive missiles purchased from America and Israel to counter the Iranian-made Shahed-136. But the thing that has come to mind here is that if the Iranian Shahed-136 costs $10,000, Ukraine has spent $100,000 to counter it. Ukraine has definitely defeated before ending the war. On the other hand, Modi had so much confidence in the French-made Rafale ($240 million), but in the end it lost to the Chinese-made J-10C ($40–$50 million) technology. Despite having such expensive weapons, the country had to be defeated.
