      I thought this sucked. But then I thought that if they really are trying to become independent (energy, medicine, etc) then you also need to be able to defend yourself.

      Cheaper than giving the US millions for equipment they may or may not send and decreases the risk to servicemen. We should be building these things and selling them to everyone else in the Pacific too tho, that way the journey down to us would be just as bad as actually trying to attack us.

      Drones are precisely what a country the size of the US and a population the size of LA should be investing in.

      Force multpliers for a tiny pop country with a landmass is what we need. ADF has a horrid recruitment and retention issue so unmanned systems will be the way.

      Great news. Both Boeing and Anduril doing incredible work locally with Ghost Bat/Ghost Shark. Both either leading or close to leading the world with their particular platforms. Local jobs. Local suppliers. Local factories. Exactly what we need.
