Why are we buying American drones. Hasn't the Ukrainian drone system shown that smaller single use drones is more cost effective. Let's buy Ukrainian ones instead and help them regrow their manufacturing. Better yet, build them here
I 10000% agree, if I was PM I would have hooked up with Ukraine's drone and missile manufacturing years ago, it's pretty clear the US ones are having us over a barrel
