See, this is exactly what I'm talking about, about exquisite systems. Obviously, incredibly expensive. Yeah. And you can see this concept of attritability as it happened in Ukraine pretty massively, right? The Ukrainian defenses were one of the first armies to defeat a navy without having a navy, right?
The Russian forces weren't able to completely cut off Odessa because they had so many unarmed vehicles or unmanned vehicles that were able to take out boats. Oh, wow.

Actually, no. So there's the it's something that the U.S. is, I think, currently looking at and learning from. But the the forces on the ground, from what I understand, in Ukraine were really looking at what they could do natively, like what were their indigenous capabilities?

And one of those indigenous capabilities was not only having a decent amount of drones around, but was through the first person view racing community. So there's like a drone racing community. Have you ever seen videos of that?

It's insane. So they had these first person view racers that were... clearly fantastic at flying drones. And then all they needed to do was 3D print little brackets to make sure that they could hold explosive devices.

And those became the, you know, the leading weapon and a new technological innovation that happened from the ground rather than from, you know, some bureaucratic environment speaking down to the ground. Yeah. And so that's how they were filling the innovation gap.

Right. There's also – you also see even hand-to-hand combat. I don't know if you've seen that video. I don't recommend anybody watch it because it's pretty gnarly. But there's a video of a Russian and Ukrainian soldier having a knife fight.
