The US Air Force has tested the use of APKWS laser-guided rockets on the MQ-9 Reaper drone. The rockets are also being considered for use on other aircraft, including the Rafale fighter and the UK's Typhoon, as a potential counter-drone measure. The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of using these rockets to kill drones is a point of discussion, with some outlets noting the significant cost difference between the rockets and the drones they target.
