It sounds good, but then the Canadian program also sounded good, before they amended it to allow the state to coerce disabled and indigent people into execution.

Yeah , the big advantage of drones was that they were supposed to be cheap , but the defense companies fixed that a long time ago.
There’s also been bloat from only ever using them in the war on terror, against farmers and shepherds who could never shoot back, but mostly it was the profit margin. Which is why US drones now cost 30 million to 100+ million , so expensive that you can’t afford to lose them.
The weirdest part of all this is watching those daily casualty updates by the OSINT guys.
Every day they claim that another 500+ Russians were killed and one Ukrainian stubbed his toe, and they’ve kept on claiming that all summer, even as Ukraine was doing WW1 style assaults into minefields and trench lines, without air support, and with a severe disadvantage in artillery. Those guys must be getting fucking slaughtered.
Reminds me of the guy who tried to break into a secure building with a gun , became frustrated by the bullet proof glass, and then hid in a field in the middle of his shoot-out with the cops to post some updates about his shoot-out.
This kind of guy is just going to become a thing in American culture now, I guess.
Look at the rates of birth defects and cancer in Falluja to see the answer to that one.
