Oh look, 50 Patriot interceptors. At this point Russia could drain American finances by just launching a bunch of dud cruise missiles and eat up the $4 million dollars each interception costs. It doesn't need a guidance system, it doesn't need a warhead, and it barely needs control surfaces... And considering fully loaded Kalibr missiles only cost $1 million, it's a winning proposition.
