Probably, these drones serve as either reusable cruise missiles or decoys for enemy air defenses.
1 Patriot missile costs 1mln dollar and they usually launch two missiles per target, so these decoy-drones will force enemy air defenses to exhaust their missile inventory very quickly.
By the way, interesting engine on that red drone---what engine it might be?
Wouldn't it be logical for Patriot operators to pick and choose which target they decide to fire upon and leave the slower moving targets coming at them for lower-tier AA defense systems?
