This is all cool and everything, I’m not against this type of research, meantime Russia is using cheap and deadly drones by in mass to take out Ukrainian armor relatively easily.
A bunch of goat herders in flip flops are using drones to attack ships in the Red Sea with $1000 drones who we have to shoot down with million-dollar missiles.
The spectacular drones like this one are great but where are the cheap expendable drones that other countries are using effectively.
Exactly right. When you have an expansive budget funded by taxpayers, money is no object.
When money IS an object...creativity and ingenuity take over. Think Taliban “IEDs” in Afghanistan, Hamas “rockets” made from water pipe, and even VC pungee stake pits in Vietnam.
