A series of reported missile and drone strikes on a US-operated air base in Saudi Arabia may have damaged some of the military’s most sensitive and high-value assets, raising fresh concerns about the vulnerability of advanced systems to sustained attacks.

Air defense often operates with a costly imbalance, where interceptors can be far more expensive than the threat. But as Ukraine develops new ways to counter Russia’s waves of attack drones, a partnership with Japan is shaping a more efficient solution.
