    Yeah man, that’s the corruption, giving that money to Raytheon and Lockheed is like, the whole point. If we had a cheap disposable drone we wouldn’t be going to war, because no one would benefit from selling them.

    The funny thing about this to me is that countries that already have these drones should theoretically already be ahead on strategies to counter these types of drones. So I hope th US figures it out, builds a bunch at great expense, and then throws them into a blender of pre developed defense against them
