Because their success pushes down the road even further the possibility that we get directly involved.

And to that, Chad, I would say that on the ground, it's just not a consideration.

They just don't think about it.

They're just moving on.

One of the aspects of drone warfare is Ukraine is so focused on this because they're not getting enough supplies from the West.

They said, we'll have to figure this out ourselves.

And that's kind of what led to a lot of these innovations.

I wish that they could be flying these drones alongside U.S.

Tomahawks and more F-16s and more Abrams and more Bradleys.

They're not.

So they're finding their own way to do it.

Yeah, I just strangely have noticed – maybe not strangely, but I've noticed anytime there's a major Ukrainian success, there tends to be more support in the United States.

So I think one of the ways to get more Americans on board is showing how well they're doing.

The other side of that of look how bad Russia is, look at these awful bombings, look at these casualties, it seems like folks just tune that out.

It's a tough one because it's very hard to look at the Russian army right now stuck in Donetsk and say if they win, they're going to roll into Poland next because it's a little bit of what army?

If they're not getting through Ukraine, do we really think they're going to be able to take on NATO?

So I kind of try to thread the needle on that.

I don't think that we are a year or two away from the Russian army, even a reconstituted Russian army, rolling into NATO territory with their militaries.

What it would do is it would free up the Russian military to start to reconstitute, start to rebuild, start to innovate in this drone space.

And I think that they would see that the biggest piece here is that the West is not standing by some of these commitments.
