This was several months ago.
Nothing in Ukraine yet?
Nothing in Ukraine yet.
No, we haven't been able to get through the...
really the legal limitations and stuff like that.
Because our system, unlike some of the dual-use drones and the commercial drones and things that are able to easily be sold into Ukraine, our systems are a weapon system.
They're considered what's called a Category 18 weapon system.
Any directed energy system would be categorized as that.
And when you have these ITAR systems, they require a little bit more
I guess, approvals and paperwork in order to get them through the hoops and ladders.
And up until now, we've been limited in our ability to do that.
Now, this war in the Middle East has kind of changed the game completely.
And this administration is
is aggressively helping us to knock down any barriers to getting our allies protected with these systems, plus our war fighters protected with these systems.
And that's ongoing.
I can't say too many of the details because it gets into operational security, like back when we were in the Navy and we would never tell anyone where our ships are going to move and when they're going to move.
These are sort of weapon systems that are moving right now, moving into theater, moving in to defend certain allies.
and it's happening.
Like right now, like I said earlier, we're trying to build one a week.
If I could build one a week starting today, I'd do it.
