      A strategic stockpile of millions is pretty much required at this point.

      Maybe not ordinance for each one, but at least the drone itself.

        I feel like one thing Russia did right that the west has fucked up is stockpiles, even with huge amounts of their reserves being unuseable they’ve still been able to expend more ammunition than all of NATO currently makes in the same duration. So not just drones but standardized rifle rounds and artillery shells too.

      Denmark recently had military experts visiting Ukraine, but not to instruct them, but to learn about Ukrainian drone tactics!
      It’s absolutely insane Ukraine isn’t in NATO yet, and already we are learning from them!

    Americans couldn’t do this with trillions of dollars of nuclear weapons.

    Ukraine did it in a movable shack with a pile of off the shelf drone components.
