   this is important, remember how much a cost reduction changes the situation depends on how it changes battle. Drones are very much a leveling technology right now.

     @Dudebro @pepsi_man you can see this with how large copper installations are stolen in south america.
     
     You can't have a public system when a large percentage of people in the area just want to rob it.

     if you can knock out comms and rudders you can at least keep the US Navy at arm's length.

     I don’t want to get accused of fedposting but even regular drones vs the US electrical grid is terrifying. So many above ground poles still exist. I have seen a squirrel fry $20,000 worth of equipment shorting a transformer.

     @sickburnbro But given the current trajectory, I don't expect the military to give up their DEI initiatives or the defense contractors to clean house and get serious. This sort of institutional rot cannot be easily reversed, as the rot has been going on for far too long.

     Much of the world will heal, and much of Europe will suffer without having the US to be their military. A whole lot of countries might be able to have authentic elections once more.

     @sickburnbro I get a strong feeling the military industrial complex got far too complacent with all the years of the US being unchallenged by other countries militarily. The people in the military and the defense contractors must have been thinking that they could just coast on being number 1 and milk the government for more money while not caring about delivering results.

     Not anymore. We have challengers now. If they do not fix things quick, then the US will not be a "superpower" anymore.

     @houseoftolstoy europe is going to be in for a huge shock. They are learning that when they have urgent need to make military equipment or munitions it doesn't work with their political fancys.
