there's no way on gods' green earth they go that far as two, maybe even five dudes in a shed. they want to grift on DoD research grant, or maybe hype this bs up and sell startup that's all
they're not even looking for a microwave engineer and that thing needs both comms and an entire ass radar in guidance section for it to work. they're not even half serious. they're just at the beginning of a very long journey between asking "hey why is this shit so expensive" and getting the answer the hard way
Absolutely. In any case, the DoD spending money on anything is already bad.
i think there might be a few people in eastern europe that would disagree with this sentiment
It is an unfortunate fact thatsomeone is going to have the biggest stick. USA/NATO absolutely should be criticized for how our military has been used and what we've sacrificed domestically in order to have that, but I'm pretty sure a world where Russia or China have had the biggest stick over the last few decades is markedly less peaceful, less just, and less free than the current status quo.
