They're built with off-the-shelf commercial electronics at a price of about $20,000 to $50,000, according to one defense analyst.
But the air defense systems trying to stop them can cost billions.
For example, the gold standard, the Patriot air defense system, uses interceptors that can cost more than $3 million per shot.
And so as attack drones become more common in war,
the cost of defending against them could become unsustainable over time.
Now, three more updates on the Trump administration.
The U.S.
announced this week that it's launched joint military operations with Ecuador.
According to a U.S.
official, U.S.
special forces are providing intelligence and logistics support to the Ecuadorian military so it can carry out raids against suspected drug traffickers.
In the last decade, violent gangs have thrived in Ecuador, turning it into the world's largest exporter of cocaine.
As much as 70% of the global supply of the drug flows through the country.
Ecuador's joint operation with the U.S.
marks the extension of Trump's campaign against alleged drug traffickers at sea.
Since September, the U.S.
has blown up dozens of boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
Also, the House Oversight Committee has voted to compel Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify about how she has handled the Epstein investigation.
A handful of Republicans crossed party lines to join Democrats in pushing to subpoena her, a rare congressional rebuke of a Trump administration official.
Lawmakers of both parties have accused Bondi of slow-walking the release of files related to the convicted sex offender and illegally withholding materials after Congress passed a law requiring their release.
