On December 19 2019, an F-16 shot down a cruise missile with a rocket. Actually, it wasn't a cruise missile, it was a drone, and this happened during the cruise missile defense exercise. Except for tomahawks, the rest of the world owns easy-to-shoot cruise missiles, because they fly in straight lines, follow predictable paths, and don’t take evasive action, even in the Second World War, British Spitfires shot down Germany's V-1 missiles with simple machine guns. Using a $1 million AMRAAM against a non-maneuvering cruise missile is very expensive, so the inexpensive answer is, A.P.K.W.S, or the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System, which turns the unguided Hydra-70 rockets into laser guided weapons. An aircraft carrying a pod of A.P.K.W.S can attack seven different targets, costs just $25,000 for a rocket, or $175 thousand for a pod, and can be loaded on an aircraft quickly. The best thing here is that with just two pods, an F-16 can shoot down more than a dozen cruise missiles and drones, and at the same time it can be armed with 4 to 6 Aim-120s to fight enemy jets.
