We recorded our conversation yesterday.
voice-verified
I want to talk a bit about drones.
voice-verified
You know, one of the issues the United States faces is that they have a lot of really expensive weapons that cost a lot and take a long time to produce and are very effective.
voice-verified
But as warfare has developed recently, particularly in the Ukraine conflict, people are using smaller, lighter drones to considerable effect.
voice-verified
So I wanted to talk about that.
voice-verified
You know, we talk about drones.
voice-verified
There are all kinds of drones.
voice-verified
I mean, some are as big as airplanes and look like airplanes and can be in the air for a long time and go great distances.
voice-verified
Some of 'em are almost as small as the ones we see buzzing around parks and beaches.
voice-verified
The United States has kind of focused so far on the higher end stuff, the m expensive stuff, right?
voice-verified
You said standoff attacks?
voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified

voice-verified
You know, there was a story, uh, I think it was in the Wall Street Journal about some war games in Europe, which the United States, I as I believe, was on one side, and Ukrainians were on another side, and the Ukrainians got the better of them because they had gotten so
voice-verified
effective and sophisticated at using drones in battlefield situations.
