These cheap flying shitboxes are a financial nightmare for the Pentagon. They've been firing multi-million dollar missiles to take down drones that cost less than your girlfriend's boyfriend's car payment.
But what if I told you there's a company that figured out how to fight cheap with… well, less expensive?
Enter the Coyote Drone System from our friends at Raytheon (Ticker: RTX). These things are popping up on every Army truck, Navy destroyer, and Marine humvee like they're giving them away. And they have a confirmed K/D ratio in actual combat.
This ain't new-new tech. RTX basically took a hurricane-chasing drone from 2007, gave it an explosive personality, and pointed it at America's enemies. Now it comes in flavors:
Block 1 (The Gnat Swatter): This is a
2-foot-long, tube-launched kamikaze drone. It hunts smaller drones (Tier 1 & 2). It gets close, goes boom. Simple as. At ~$15k a pop, it's a bargain for Uncle Sam.
Block 2 (The Chad): This is the one that gets the generals all hot and bothered. It has a goddamn JET ENGINE, hits 370 mph, and is designed to vaporize bigger, scarier drones like drones like those Iranian Shaheds everyone's talking about.
Here's the part your smooth brains can understand. The numbers, Mason!
The old way: fire a $2.4 MILLION SM-2 missile at a $20,000 drone. That's like using a Lambo to stop a shopping cart. The accountants were literally crying.
The RTX way: fire a $100,000 Coyote. You're still overpaying, but you're not a complete financial moron. The Pentagon eats this shit up. Saving money on one thing means they have more to spend on other YOLOs. This thing has already smoked 170+ drones in the field. The proof is in the pudding.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE
RTX is also working on some secret squirrel shit they call "non-kinetic" tech. Translation: MICROWAVE DEATH RAYS. They claim one of these can zap a whole swarm of 10+ drones at once. Imagine giving your Hot Pocket machine wings and telling it to go commit war crimes.
NOW FOR THE TENDIES. THE CATALYST.
You think this is just some theory I cooked up while staring at my red portfolio? Check the receipts:
Navy: Dropped a cute $146.7M appetizer in 2023 to get more of these.
ARMY: The real diamond hands. They went full send like some of you with fake hippy meat and handed RTX a $5 BILLION FUCKING CONTRACT for this system just last month. That's not a typo. That's a B.
The world is getting spicier, not less. Every time some new conflict pops off, these Coyote systems are going to be in higher demand than a PS5 on launch day. They'll be strapped to everything that moves. This isn't just about killing drones; it's about a fundamental shift in warfare, and RTX is selling the shovels in this new-age gold rush.
TL;DR: The world is full of cheap, annoying drones. RTX sells the best, most cost-effective solution. The Pentagon is writing them blank checks worth BILLIONS. War is profitable.
Sure, this thing has already flown how you wish your shit stock would, but I believe there is more in the long term.
I just bought 1 share ($179.16) at the top. That is all I can afford so far. Had to lower my OPHJ prices due to the economy.
Not financial advice. I am clinically stuck behind the dumpster and eat paint chips for breakfast. Just something to put on your radar.
