Ladies and gentlemen... the US military.
"We determine what the debris field is likely to be with one of these platforms landing on the Earth's surface or in the water," Milley said. "We go to great lengths to make sure that the airspace is clear and the backdrop is clear out to the max effective range of the missile."
"We tracked it all the way down, and we made sure that the airspace was clear of any commercial or civilian or recreational traffic," he added.Despite the precautions, the military has a steep bill to pay for missing its target. According toof its 2023 budget for 255 AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles, making each worth around $439,000.
In other words, the military spent almost a million dollars worth of missiles to take out a barely moving and presumably uncrewed target, and that's not to mention the fact that an F-16 costs somewhereThe bungled response will likely draw even more questions. Let's just hope it was all worth it in the end.
