I’ll take the Flugabwehrkanonenpanzerkampfwagen Gepard instead.
The Germans always have a mouthful
Flugabwehrkanonenpanzerkampfwagen Gepard
It literally means “aerial-defense-cannon-armoured-battle-vehicle cheetah”. Not shorter in English.
German doesn’t have longer words, it’s just that you can stick together existing words to make up new words. For example, “the front door of the house” in German is “Haustür”, literally “housedoor”. It goes on logically, like “the handle of the front door of the house” is Haustürklinke, literally housedoorhandle. This way it is possible to make up arbitrarily long words which becime ever more specific, just without a tonne of “of” in between.
But general usage is rarely more than 2 or 3 short words stuck together. Stuff like Vorratskasten and Notreserve or Fliegengitter. Well, ok, there’s stuff like Insektenbekämpfungsmittel.

I don’t know why I read the door handle as Haustürk-linke. Love me a house turkish leftist.
US Military would probably call it “ADCABC Cheetah” because indecipherable acronyms are much better.
Sometimes they’re funny though, like the ATTACK-EMS and the ASSRAMMING missiles
I’m pretty sure US Army would designate it the M1.
Who’s my ground crew?
The 1989 Denver Broncos
Settle down, Mrs. Cartman
Offense or defense?
Because Chan Gailey or Wade Phillips
Depends on the radar sensitivity and the target acquisition software. More plane might not be more better if they can’t lock on a target as small as a drone.
As an American, 100 F16s.
3,000 gray f-16s of uncle Sam.
No no as an American 300 super tucanos slower speed, higher loiter time, lower cost.
Best I can do is 4600
Could I please choose one elephant-sized goose?
Depends on what their loadouts look like but probably the second option. 100 drones is a lot of small targets and I’m not quite certain F16s have the numbers of missiles. I could be wrong though.

Eternity doesn’t let me see images in the post I’m replying to and I thought it had said F15
How many anti-drone drones for the same money?
I’ll take a bunch of Oerlikon Skynexes https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bdwjcayPuag
Good choice, although the swiss aren’t selling to Ukraine apparently (veto’ed several transfers). There are a few other CIWS systems which would also be good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYJ2KKnl6kA
Bring back the sparkvark. Or like, when they finally retire the bone, hollow out the airframe, toss in a few hundred MW of generators and let it saturation jam the entire timezone
For the money? I’ll take the underground, steel reinforced concrete bunker.
With 100 drones all I need is one queen, and they will all try to follow her to mate with her.
How much drones could you have for that cost?
All at once, or spread out over a period of time? Because I’d take the F16s in most scenarios.
