So we have a real magazine depth disadvantage as well by continuing to try to pursue drones with some of the tried and true kind of, you know, lion...

type weapons and defensive weapons and stuff like that.

Those are not easily reproducible and producible.

And they have a long tail when you say, hey, I need another 10,000 of these coyotes, Raytheon.

It takes a while to spin up and get that capacity and get that out to the field.

So not just cost asymmetry, but magazine depth asymmetry as well.

I heard, I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.

I mean, when you have a kind of a authoritarian communist party that can go in and tell a factory, hey, you're not building laptops, you're building drones, and do that to several places in Chongqing and Chengdu.

It is alarming.

And they're right north of Iran, right?

I mean, they could be helping outfit those guys.

I mean, read about in the news as well, Russia, you know, giving them targeting information and such.

And so it's an asymmetrical fight, and we are less equipped than others to start engaging.

But it's our moment.

I don't say that with negativity in my mind.

I think of it just like the 9-11 moment.

It's our moment to, like, be the underdog, to turn the whole thing over on its head and get at these bad actors.

But when we start hitting some real wartime shoot-downs, I'll have to come back on your show and we can talk about how well they're working once they get deployed.
