    A block of C4 would put maybe dents in the type of targets that Patriot missiles are designed for.

    You also need to be within vicinity of your target to be able to operate a drone, which a missile doesn’t need.

    Drones can be easily jammed. Missiles aren’t easily jammed, not with the same tech stack needed for drone jamming.

    Apples and oranges. Different targets, different engagements, different applications entirely.
