FPV drone pilot being assisted by an automated radar will help guide the drone interceptor to take out the drone. That's very interesting because you're now in a place where you can take out an Iranian with a relatively cheap Ukrainian drone as opposed to a very expensive shoulder launch missile like an Igla or a Stinger or an even more expensive Patriot interceptor. So that's really fascinating.

And it seems to me that they've not yet gotten to the point where they can completely remove the human operator from the drone, but they are working deciduously to try to get to the point where you have basically autonomous drone on drone warfare where there is no human pilot involved in the terminal phase. Okay.

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but what is the key impetus for taking the human out of that scenario? Pilots are a huge rate determiner. So to have a skilled FPV drone pilot is a determinant of how many missions can you fly? What's your sortie rate? How many targets can you engage at a particular time?

And the Russians are actually going out of their way now to try to target and kill skilled Ukrainian FPV drone pilots. So pilots is a big enabler. And if you no longer need to pilot to be able to do your missions, then that removes one of the caps for your ability to fly the drones. Number one. Number two, electronic warfare.

Partially. So, for example, what you might do is you might fly your drone to an area where it's going to be saturated with just enemy targets. And then at that point, the need to discriminate will be minimized. And so, that way it's basically just going to say, hey, drone, I'm going to take you to a place where anything that you can see is going to be enemy target.

And now at this point, go ahead and do it yourself. At which point, yeah, you would not have a human in the operator for the go, no go.

That's correct. And there's a big concern about pressure side, at least among the Ukrainians, because a lot of the kit that the Russians use, the Ukrainians use too. Like T-72 battle tanks, for example. So, if you train a drone to recognize and do object classification on, hey, here's what a T-72 main battle tank looks like. Well, is that a Russian T-72 or is that a Ukrainian T-72? Right.
