Foreign media: Due to the high cost of using advanced munitions to counter Houthi armed drone harassment and support Ukraine against low-cost mass air attacks, the US is developing cheaper long-range munitions.
Chinese military magazine "Bing Gong Ke Ji" suggests that China should also consider following suit. The article points out that each attack by the Houthi武装 costs less than $2,000, while each SM-2/6 missile launched by the US exceeds $2.5 million, with total costs reaching as high as $1 billion.
China has a strong industrial chain and cost control capabilities; developing low-cost munitions is crucial for large-scale consumption warfare and quickly defeating weaker opponents.
