The article is making a big deal about the huge price disparity, which I get. But on the other hand, this is basically true about all missiles. As a rule, missiles are cheaper than the vehicles you destroy with them.
I'm sure you could find a few exceptions, but in general missiles are much cheaper than aircraft, and a "kamikaze drone" is just a guided missile.
You're right AND The big deal about drones is they are even cheaper and easier to make than missiles.
