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.

But I think the concept of operations here is, hey, if you drive the drone deep enough into the enemy control territory, say 10 to 15 kilometers away, and then to the place where you can have a geofence and say, hey, we don't have any friendly T-72 operating in the vicinity here. So, as soon as the drone therefore sees anything that looks like a T-72, you take it out. And that's the concept.

Now, the Russians have an interesting and different way of going about this. Whereas the Ukrainian response to electronic warfare jamming is, hey, just have the drones do it autonomously, the Russian response has been a little bit lower tech, but not necessarily less effective. They are using fiber optic drones.

So, they've now developed these specialized drones that have spooled up on the rear 10 or 15 kilometers worth of physical fiber optic cable. that has a hard line to the pilot. And so, what these drones can do is they can just fly unimpeded, unimpeded by electronic warfare systems, unimpeded by other radio interference.

And they're just hard line, like a tow guided missile straight to whatever kind of target they're working at. And so, these are some of the tactical innovations that the sides are implementing.

They rely on outside for providers for components. So, the Chinese basically have a monopoly on the high-end electronic electrical rotors that go into quadcopters. Basically, no other countries make them the good ones. I mean, there's a bunch of countries that make them, but apparently they're not the quality controls quite poor.

And so, interestingly, the Russians and the Ukrainians defense industrial base are really overexposed on China for those rotors.

Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, they stand to benefit too. And it makes me really scared as well because this is a capability that the U.S. is going to need too. And American industry doesn't have the capacity to build hundreds of thousands of drone rotors at a competitive price. So, it's a huge problem. And if there's any smart VCs out there that want to build a factory for something, drone
