It's good these are being made. One of the big downsides of the traditional cruise missile are they are expensive. Which means making them at industrial scale burns though quite a few resources. In many cases, having 10x-20x lower capability drones will do the job better.

Obviously you still want the high-capability cruise missiles for more difficult targets. But it's very good the west is producing the cheaper ones in volume too!
