When does the drone strategy become no longer cheap? I don’t know but we are headed towards that line.

    Not really? It’s low-high tech if that makes sense, technologywise it’s low-ish tech, but realistically homegrown elecronics and electeomechanical engineering experience and production is very valuable. ESCs for example aren’t all that hard, but there isn’t a lot of places that make them, same with engines, same with FCs, same with batteries (chemistry is very hard but there are at least a few homegrown producers that attempt to make their own lithium batteries). It’s mostly design and assembly, but even limited production gives a lot of benefit. Unless world is ending tomorrow, these skills are valuable and will be thought after and wars aren’t going to end anytime soon. Everyone wants a worldwar after all.
