It's an established fact that ISIL was invented by the chain link fence industry.

There might be a market for fast, lightweight, extremely cheap aircrafts. No border wall defenses will help if you swarm them with more planes than they have anti-aircraft missiles.

It it is fast and lightweight and cheap shooting it down also won't be hard. you don't need a missile, you need a bullet.
