There's electronic warfare.

that they and others are doing to create, like, bubbles the enemy can't see and then sneak through or to turn their stuff off during an attack into different ways, jamming them in different ways, creating shadows of things that don't actually exist, you know?

There's just, there's all sorts of ways they're producing lots of small things at scale that they can use to kind of

kind of halt the enemy's advance and harass them in ways that no one's ever done before.

I mean, there's literally millions on both sides of these drones back and forth, and there's controls where one person... Like, I've played video games where you control a bunch of troops.

It's very different in the real world controlling hundreds of these things at once and getting really freaking good at it with AI plus the person.

It's kind of cool.

It's terrifying, but it's kind of cool.

But listen, I think we're turning off all the Shaheed production right now.

Another benefit of the Iranian thing is hopefully that turns off a lot of more stuff to Russia.

Russia's already, by all accounts, from everything I've heard, they're in huge budget troubles.

They're actually unwilling to project the next year of budget in Russia as of the last kind of four months.

Oh, shit.

Because they can't do it at this rate, so they have to just do it month-to-month planning.

And so they're under a lot of pressure right now.

So I think turning off the Iranian stuff, I think the budget pressure they're under, hopefully we come to a good resolution in both.

I mean, I think, listen, this is a risky thing, but hopefully Trump looks really freaking good six months from now.

And both of those things are in the right place.

I think there's a chance, a good chance of that.

I hope so.
