Like any good organization, we adjust as necessary to meet the environment, and we've made those appropriate adjustments.
Absolutely.
Right here.
Go ahead.
Sure.
I'm not familiar with the particular offer, but the interceptors in general, we've had a number of new capabilities being fielded.
Obviously, I'm not going to talk about it from the operational perspective of what those are.
But I think you have seen over a period of time us kind of get on the other side of this cost curve on drones in general.
If I just walk back a couple of years, you remember what you used to always hear.
We're shooting down a $50,000 drone with a $2 million missile.
These days, we're spending a lot of time shooting down $100,000 drones with $10,000 weapons from ours.
So that's one aspect.
But Lucas, indispensable.
As many of you know, and if you don't know, this was an original Iranian drone design.
We captured it, pulled the guts out, sent it back to America, put a little Made America on it, brought it back here, and we're shooting at the Iranians.
Good targets.
Good targets.
Yeah, I would just reinforce the point.
We're targeting the people.
We're targeting the headquarters and the people who are targeting the protesters, first and foremost.
